These charts compare the count of paragraphs by compliance level for all 212 monitorable paragraphs, grouped into two reporting periods. The “Current” chart includes data from the two most recent Federal Monitor Reports, while the “Previous” chart includes the two reports issued immediately before them.

“Current” chart data sources encompass:

  • CMR 12 – Twelfth Report of the Federal Monitor, June 2025 , covering the period from October 2024 through March 2025
  • CMR 13 – Thirteenth Report of the Federal Monitor, December 2025 , covering the period from April 2025 through September 2025

“Previous” chart data sources encompass:

  • CMR 10 – Tenth Report of the Federal Monitor, June 2024 , covering the period from October 2023 through March 2024
  • CMR 11 – Eleventh Report of the Federal Monitor, December 2024 , covering the period from April 2024 through September 2024

Current vs Previous Rate of Compliance

  • Fully Compliant – 26 paragraphs for Previous period (12%) and 39 paragraphs for Current period (18%)
  • Substantially Compliant – 35 paragraphs for Previous period (17%) and 30 paragraphs for Current period (14%)
  • Partially Compliant – 124 paragraphs for Previous period (58%) and 105 paragraphs for Current period (50%)
  • Deferred – 5 paragraphs for Previous period (2%) and 29 paragraphs for Current period (14%)
  • Not Compliant – 22 paragraphs for Previous period (10%) and 9 paragraphs for Current period (4%)

The compliance levels on the pie charts are represented by the following colors:

  • Fully Compliant– Dark Blue
  • Substantially Compliant– Medium Blue
  • Partially Compliant– Light Blue
  • Deferred– Gray
  • Not Compliant– Periwinkle

Why do the data sources include two reports per chart?

As part of the structured assessment schedule following the approved methodology, not all 212 paragraphs are assessed in every biannual Report of the Federal Monitor. Some paragraphs are evaluated annually. To provide a clear and complete summary, each chart includes data from two consecutive reports. The Current Compliance chart reflects the two most recent reports, while the Previous Compliance chart uses the two reports issued just before those.

Each paragraph is counted only once in each chart, based on the most recent assessment available for the respective period. This approach ensures that all monitorable paragraphs are represented without duplication and allows for a meaningful comparison between reporting periods.

Methodology and Compliance Levels

In agreement with the approved methodology, the Monitoring Team uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including site visits, to assess PRPB’s compliance. The Federal Monitor provides an assessment of the compliance status of PRPB’s policies and practices with respect to the paragraphs in the Consent Decree. The compliance rating labels are applied across multiple charts and tables to provide a consistent summary of compliance status and are defined as follows:

Fully Compliant: The PRPB has objectively demonstrated extensive compliance with the cited portion of the Agreement for a period of more than two years.

Substantially Compliant: The PRPB has objectively demonstrated extensive compliance with the cited portion of the Agreement for a period of less than two years.

Partially Compliant: The PRPB has objectively demonstrated a sub-optimal level of compliance with the cited portion of the Agreement.

Deferred: The Monitoring Team has not received sufficient evidence to reach a determination as to compliance status with the cited portion of the Agreement.

Not Assessed: The paragraph was not evaluated during a reporting period. Certain paragraphs are assessed annually following the structured assessment schedule based on the approved methodology.

Not Compliant: The PRPB has not objectively demonstrated compliance with the cited portion of the Agreement.
