Inspection of the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan
The objective of our inspection was to determine if the Department established and implemented controls throughout all phases of its incident response lifecycle to ensure compliance with Federal guidance and regulations. We found that although the Department established policies, procedures, and guidance governing its incident response program, we noted areas where it can improve its current process. We made 12 recommendations to improve the Department’s incident response program.
Summary of FindingsWe found that the EPA lacked robust oversight mechanisms—such as compliance monitoring of EPA-approved labs, of third-party certifiers, and of wood heater manufacturers—to ensure that the Wood Heater Program facilitates compliance with the Clean Air Act. As a result, wood heaters that do not meet Clean Air Act standards may end up in the marketplace, increasing risks to public health and the environment. We also identified concerns regarding impartiality, conflicts of interest, and enforcement of program violations, especially in cases where the EPA is allowing known noncompliance to go unaddressed.
