The Federal Bureau of Prisons shall, in consultation with the Office of the Deputy Attorney General and the Office of the Attorney General, promptly schedule the defendant’s execution after he has exhausted his direct appeal and post-conviction remedies unless an impediment to the execution exists (e.g., a court has entered a preliminary injunction or stay of execution) or operational considerations render the execution infeasible, in which case the defendant’s execution shall be promptly scheduled after all impediments to the execution are cleared or the execution becomes operationally feasible.
