UNITED STATES SENTENCING
COMMISSION
Final Priorities for Amendment Cycle
United States Sentencing
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of final priorities.
AGENCY:
In June 2018, the Commission
published a notice of proposed policy
priorities for the amendment cycle
ending May 1, 2019. See 83 FR 30477
(June 28, 2018). After reviewing public
comment received pursuant to the
notice of proposed priorities, the
Commission has identified its policy
priorities for the upcoming amendment
cycle and hereby gives notice of these
policy priorities.
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
Congress not later than the first day of
May each year pursuant to 28
U.S.C.994(p).
As part of its statutory authority and
responsibility to analyze sentencing
issues, including operation of the
federal sentencing guidelines, the
Commission has identified its policy
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
extent it is relevant to any identified
priority.
The Commission has identified the
following 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) 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.
(3) Consideration of possible
amendments to § 4B1.2 (Definitions of
Terms Used in Section 4B1.1) to (A)
allow courts to consider the actual
conduct of the defendant, rather than
only the elements of the offense (i.e.,
‘‘categorical approach’’), in determining
whether an offense is a crime of
violence or a controlled substance
offense; and (B) address various
application issues, including the
meaning of ‘‘robbery’’ and ‘‘extortion,’’
and the treatment of inchoate offenses
and offenses involving an offer to sell a
controlled substance.
(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
