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, 2019.
Other factors, such as legislation
requiring Commission action, may affect
the Commission’s ability to complete
work on any or all identified priorities
by May 1, 2019. Accordingly, the
Commission may continue work on any
or all identified priorities after that date
or may decide not to pursue one or more
identified priorities.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(g), the
Commission intends to consider the
issue of reducing costs of incarceration
and overcapacity of prisons, to the
SUMMARY:

extent it is relevant to any identified
priority.
The Commission has identified the
following tentative priorities:
(1) Continuation of its multiyear
examination of the structure of the
guidelines post-Booker and
consideration of legislative
recommendations or guideline
amendments to simplify the guidelines,
while promoting proportionality and
reducing sentencing disparities, and to
account appropriately for the
defendant’s role, culpability, and
relevant conduct.
(2) A multiyear study of synthetic
drug offenses committed by
organizational defendants, including
possible consideration of amendments
to Chapter Eight (Sentencing
Organizations) to address such offenses.
(3) Continuation of its work with
Congress and others to implement the
recommendations of the Commission’s
2016 report to Congress, 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 others to implement the
recommendations of the Commission’s
2011 report to Congress, 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 preparation of a series of
publications updating the data in the
report.
(5) Continuation of its comprehensive,
multiyear study of recidivism, including
the circumstances that correlate with
increased or reduced recidivism.
(6) Implementation of any legislation
warranting Commission action.
(7) Study of Chapter Four, Part A
(Criminal History), focusing on (A) how
the guidelines treat revocations under
§ 4A1.2(k) for violations of conditions of
supervision for conduct that does not
constitute a federal, state, or local
offense punishable by a term of
imprisonment; and (B) whether
unwarranted sentencing disparities arise
under the single sentence rule at
§ 4A1.2(a)(2) as a result of differences in
state practices.
(8) Resolution of circuit conflicts as
warranted, pursuant to the
