The
United States Sentencing Commission is
an independent agency in the judicial
branch of the United States
Government. The Commission
promulgates sentencing guidelines and
policy statements for federal sentencing
courts pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a). The
Commission also periodically reviews
and revises previously promulgated
guidelines pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(o)
and submits guideline amendments to
the Congress not later than the first day
of May each year pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
994(p).
The Commission provides this notice
to identify tentative priorities for the
amendment cycle ending May 1, 2014.
The Commission recognizes, however,
that other factors, such as the enactment
of any legislation requiring Commission
action, may affect the Commission’s
ability to complete work on any or all
of its identified priorities by the
statutory deadline of May 1, 2014.
Accordingly, it may be necessary to
continue work on any or all of these
issues beyond the amendment cycle
ending on May 1, 2014.
As so prefaced, the Commission has
identified the following tentative
priorities:
(1) Continuation of its work with
Congress and other interested parties on
statutory mandatory minimum penalties
to implement the recommendations set
forth in the Commission’s 2011 report to
Congress, titled Mandatory Minimum
Penalties in the Federal Criminal Justice
System, including its recommendations
regarding the severity and scope of
mandatory minimum penalties,
consideration of expanding the ‘‘safety
valve’’ at 18 U.S.C. 3553(f), and
elimination of the mandatory ‘‘stacking’’
of penalties under 18 U.S.C. 924(c), and
to develop appropriate guideline
amendments in response to any related
legislation.
(2) Review, and possible amendment,
of guidelines applicable to drug
offenses, including possible
consideration of amending the Drug
Quantity Table in § 2D1.1 (Unlawful
Manufacturing, Importing, Exporting, or
Trafficking (Including Possession with
Intent to Commit These Offenses);
Attempt or Conspiracy) across drug
types.
(3) Continuation of its work with the
congressional, executive, and judicial

§ 2B1.1 (Theft, Property Destruction,

consideration of any amendments to
such guidelines that may be appropriate
in light of the information obtained from
such study.
(5) Continuation of its multi-year
study of the statutory and guideline
definitions of ‘‘crime of violence’’,
‘‘aggravated felony’’, ‘‘violent felony’’,
and ‘‘drug trafficking offense’’, possibly
including recommendations to Congress
on any statutory changes that may be
appropriate and development of
guideline amendments that may be
appropriate.
(6) Continuation of its comprehensive,
multi-year study of recidivism,
including (A) examination of
circumstances that correlate with
increased or reduced recidivism; (B)
possible development of
recommendations for using information
obtained from such study to reduce
costs of incarceration and overcapacity
of prisons; and (C) consideration of any
amendments to the Guidelines Manual
that may be appropriate in light of the
information obtained from such study.
(7) Undertaking a multi-year review of
federal sentencing practices pertaining
to violations of conditions of probation
and supervised release, including
possible consideration of amending the
policy statements in Chapter Seven of
the Guidelines Manual.
(8) Possible consideration of
amending the policy statement
pertaining to ‘‘compassionate release,’’
§ 1B1.13 (Reduction in Term of
Imprisonment as a Result of Motion by

(1991), to resolve conflicting
interpretations of the guidelines by the
federal courts.

legislation.

miscellaneous guideline application
issues coming to the Commission’s
attention from case law and other
sources.
The Commission hereby gives notice
that it is seeking comment on these
tentative priorities and on any other
issues that interested persons believe
the Commission should address during
the amendment cycle ending May 1,
2014. To the extent practicable, public
comment should include the following:
(1) A statement of the issue, including,
where appropriate, the scope and
manner of study, particular problem
areas and possible solutions, and any
other matters relevant to a proposed
priority; (2) citations to applicable
sentencing guidelines, statutes, case
law, and constitutional provisions; and
(3) a direct and concise statement of
why the Commission should make the
issue a priority.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(g), the
Commission also invites public
comment that addresses the issue of
reducing costs of incarceration and
overcapacity of prisons, to the extent it
is relevant to a proposed priority.
