UNITED STATES SENTENCING
COMMISSION
Proposed Priorities for Amendment
Cycle
United States Sentencing
Commission.
ACTION: Notice; request for public
comment.
AGENCY:
As part of its statutory
authority and responsibility to analyze
sentencing issues, including operation
of the federal sentencing guidelines, and
in accordance with Rule 5.2 of its Rules
of Practice and Procedure, the United
States Sentencing Commission is
seeking comment on possible policy
priorities for the amendment cycle
ending May 1, 2018.
DATES: Public comment should be
received by the Commission on or
before July 31, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to
the Commission by electronic mail or
regular mail. The email address is
pubaffairs@ussc.gov. The regular mail
address is United States Sentencing
Commission, One Columbus Circle NE.,
Suite 2–500, South Lobby, Washington,
DC 20002–8002, Attention: Public
Affairs—Priorities Comment.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christine Leonard, Director, Office of
Legislative and Public Affairs, (202)
502–4500, pubaffairs@ussc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, 2018.
The Commission recognizes, however,
that other factors, such as the enactment

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
of 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, 2018.
Accordingly, it may be necessary to
continue work on any or all of these
issues beyond the amendment cycle
ending on May 1, 2018.
As so prefaced, the Commission has
identified the following tentative
priorities:
(1) Continuation of its multi-year
examination of the overall structure of
the guidelines post-Booker, possibly
including recommendations to Congress
on any statutory changes and
development of any guideline
amendments that may be appropriate.
As part of this examination, the
Commission intends to study possible
approaches to (A) simplify the operation
of the guidelines, promote
proportionality, and reduce sentencing
disparities; and (B) appropriately
account for the defendant’s role,
culpability, and relevant conduct.
(2) Continuation of its multi-year
study of offenses involving MDMA/
Ecstasy, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
synthetic cannabinoids (such as JWH018 and AM-2201), and synthetic
cathinones (such as Methylone, MDPV,
and Mephedrone), and consideration of
any amendments to the Guidelines
Manual that may be appropriate. As part
of this examination, the Commission
more generally intends to study possible
approaches to simplify the
determination of the most closely
related substance under Application
Note 6 of the Commentary to Section
2D1.1.
(3) Continuation of its work with
Congress and other interested parties to
implement the recommendations set
forth in the Commission’s 2016 report to
Congress, titled Career Offender
Sentencing Enhancements, including its
recommendations to revise the career
offender directive at 28 U.S.C. 994(h) to
focus on offenders who have committed
at least one ‘‘crime of violence’’ and to
adopt a uniform definition of ‘‘crime of
violence’’ applicable to the guidelines
and other recidivist statutory
provisions.
(4) 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
PO 00000
Frm 00088

elimination of the mandatory ‘‘stacking’’
of penalties under 18 U.S.C. 924(c). The
Commission also intends to release a
series of publications updating the data
in the 2011 report.
(5) 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 promote effectiveness of
reentry programs; and (C) consideration
of any amendments to the Guidelines
Manual that may be appropriate,
including possibly amending Chapter
Four and Chapter Five to provide lower
guideline ranges for ‘‘first offenders’’
generally and to increase the availability
of alternatives to incarceration for such
offenders at the lower levels of the
Sentencing Table.
(6) Implementation of the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2015, Public Law 114–74,
and any other crime legislation enacted
during the 114th or 115th Congress
warranting a Commission response.
(7) Continuation of its study of the
findings and recommendations
contained in the May 2016 Report
issued by the Commission’s Tribal
Issues Advisory Group and
consideration of any amendments to the
Guidelines Manual that may be
appropriate, including (A) revising how
tribal court convictions are addressed in
Chapter Four, and (B) providing a
definition of ‘‘court protection order’’
that would apply throughout the
guidelines.
(8) Examination of Chapter Four, Part
A (Criminal History) to study (A) how
the guidelines account for prior federal
and state convictions resulting from the
same criminal conduct under Section
4A1.2(a)(2); (B) the treatment of
convictions for offenses committed prior
to age eighteen; (C) the treatment of
revocation sentences under Section
4A1.2(k); and (D) a possible amendment
of Section 4A1.3 to account for
instances in which the time actually
served was substantially less than the
length of the sentence imposed for a
conviction counted in the criminal
history score.
(9) Continuation of its study of
alternatives to incarceration, including
(A) issuing a publication regarding the
development of alternative to
incarceration programs in federal
district courts, and (B) possibly
amending the Sentencing Table in
Chapter 5, Part A to consolidate Zones
B and C, and other relevant provisions
in the Guidelines Manual.
