Federal Bureau of Prison officials yesterday said they are on schedule to issue the final EIS on the proposed prison in Berlin in mid-August.

Allowing for a 30-day comment period, a record of decision would be issued by the end of September. If the ROD favors moving ahead with the 1,200 bed medium security facility, construction could begin as early as January 2007.
