(a) Reporting. When the interstate unit receives information that a multijurisdiction parolee has absconded, a report shall be submitted to the board at the central office calendar.A multijurisdiction parolee absconds when he leaves the supervising state without permission, he does not return to the supervising state after leaving with permission, or he is unavailable for contact in the supervising state for more than thirty days.

An absconder report shall be submitted whenever it is clear that the parolee absconded although he is in custody or his location is known at the time the report is submitted. The report shall indicate the date the parolee absconded or the date the Interstate Unit determined he absconded.

(b) Board Action. When an absconder report is submitted, the board at the central office calendar shall review the report and suspend parole. The date of suspension shall be the date the parolee left the supervising state, the date the parolee should have returned to the supervising state if he was granted a temporary leave or the date the interstate unit determined he absconded. The parole period stops running on the date of the suspension. The suspend action authorizes the board to issue a warrant for the parolee's arrest if the parolee is in the custody of another jurisdiction.
