The Attorney General of the United States, or the authorized  representative of the Attorney General of the United States, shall be  furnished with the warrant of commitment from the court imposing  sentence, which warrant of commitment shall provide that, when the  offender is released from federal confinement, whether by parole or by  termination of sentence, the offender shall be transferred by the  Sheriff of the committing county to the Department of  Corrections.  The  court shall cause the Department to be notified of such sentence at the  time of commitment and to be provided with copies of all records  regarding the sentence.
