(b)This subpart applies to persons in Bureau custody, including those:
(1)Under a term of imprisonment;
(2)For whom all criminal charges have been dismissed solely for reasons relating to the person's mental condition; or
(3)In Bureau custody pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 4241(d).
(c)The Bureau may certify that a person in Bureau custody is a sexually dangerous person when review under this subpart provides reasonable cause to believe that the person is a sexually dangerous person. In determining whether a person is a sexually dangerous person and should be so certified, the Bureau will consider any available information in its possession and may transfer the person to a suitable facility for psychological examination in order to obtain information for this purpose.
