Abstract: CSOSA proposes to adopt regulations on the disclosure of

regulations are necessary in order to ensure that the public has

Abstract: CSOSA proposes to adopt regulations to supplement Department

Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). These supplemental regulations state in
plain language what members of the public need to do to file a claim
for money damages under the FTCA with CSOSA or with the District of
Columbia Pretrial Services Agency (PSA). These regulations are
necessary to help ensure that persons who suffer proven monetary loss,
personal injury, or wrongful death due to a negligent or otherwise
wrongful act or omission of a CSOSA or PSA employee committed while
acting within the scope of his or her employment will be properly
compensated.

3331. <bullet> COMMUNITY SUPERVISION: ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONS
SCHEDULE
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: PL 105-33
CFR Citation: 28 CFR 810 (New)
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: CSOSA issued interim regulations on administrative sanctions
which may be imposed on offenders under CSOSA's supervision who violate
the general or specific conditions of their release. The purpose of
imposing sanctions is to enable CSOSA staff to respond as swiftly,
certainly, and consistently as practicable to noncompliant behavior.
Using sanctions will reduce the number of violation reports sent to the
releasing authority (for example, the sentencing court or the United
States Parole commission). CSOSA staff will be able to refer offenders
back tot he releasing authority having demonstrated that CSOSA has
exhausted the range of options at its disposal to change the offender's
noncompliant behavior. The releasing authority may then concentrate on
those referrals which fully merit scrutiny. The purpose of the
regulations is to prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support the
fair administration of justice through the promotion of effective
community supervision.

3332. <bullet> DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: PL 105-23; PL 106-113
CFR Citation: 28 CFR 811 (New)
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: CSOSA intends to issue interim regulations for the
registration of sex offenders in the District of Columbia. These
regulations provide notice to sex offenders of their duties under the
law and under the regulations of the Metropolitan Police Department of
the District of Columbia to register with CSOSA. In most instances, sex
offenders will receive notification that they are subject to
registration when they are being sentenced by the Superior Court of the
District of Columbia after being found guilty (or found not guilty by
reason of insanity or adjudicated as a sexual psychopath) or when CSOSA
becomes responsible for their supervision. In those cases where the
offender has previously committed a registration offense and is not
currently under supervision, the offender must contact CSOSA to
register in order to avoid possible criminal penalty. These regulations
are intended to provide for the protection of the public and to ensure
that the District of Columbia may provide appropriate notification
regarding the presence of sex offenders in the community.

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: PL 106-546
CFR Citation: 28 CFR 812 (New)
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, June 17, 2001.
[[Page 62238]]
Abstract: CSOSA intends to adopt interim regulations on the collection
and use of DNA information. DNA information is collected under CSOSA's
supervision from individuals who have been convicted of specific
offenses identified by District of Columbia statute. The DNA
information becomes part of the combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a
national database of DNA profiles from convicted offenders, unsolved
crime scenes, and missing persons. The regulations specify that the DNA
sample will be collected in accordance with FBI guidelines. The
regulations also establish procedures for cooperating with the Federal
Bureau of Prisons to ensure that unnecessary samples will not be
collected; establish a standard for what constitutes an individual's
refusal to cooperate in the collection of the sample; define what steps
CSOSA deems to be reasonably necessary to take when an individual
refuses to cooperate; and list in an appendix the offenses which
qualify for DNA collection.
