Title: ●First Step Act (FSA) Time Credits 
Abstract:

This rule codifies the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) procedures regarding Time Credits as authorized by 18 U.S.C. 3632(d)(4) and Section 101 of the First Step Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-391, December 21, 2018, 132 Stat 5194)(FSA). The FSA provides that eligible inmates may earn Time Credits towards pre-release custody or supervised release for successfully completing approved evidence-based recidivism reducing programs or productive activities. As required by the FSA, an inmate cannot earn Time Credits if he or she is serving a sentence for a disqualifying offense or has a disqualifying prior conviction as specified in 18 U.S.C. 3632(d)(4)(D). However, these inmates can still earn other benefits, as authorized by the Bureau, for successfully completing recidivism reduction programming.
