an expected decrease in low birthweight 

births through the BirthMatters program 

and an expected reduction of infant 

emergency medical care usage rates 

through the Family Connects program. 

7. The project budget: 

Project budget 

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Total project 

costs

8. The project timeline: 

There is a seven-year intervention 

period. The project will begin the 

intervention in year two (2025) and end 

in year seven (2030), allowing for 

sufficient time for the independent 

evaluator to compete their assessment. 

9. The project eligibility criteria: 

The BirthMatters program is open to 

all young, low-income mothers residing 

in Spartanburg County. The Family 

Connects program is open to all mothers 

in Spartanburg County. 

10. The evaluation design: 

The choice of a Quasi-Experimental 

Design (QED), supported by Synthetic 

Control Methodology (SCM), is driven 

by the need for an assessment 

framework that allows for the control of 

confounding variables in nonrandomized environments, especially 

given the prospect of bringing to scale 

models that are offered to all families. 

This evaluation seeks to quantify the 

effects of targeted interventions on key 

parameters such as Kindergarten 

Readiness and specific health outcomes 

indicative of infant and maternal health. 

11. The metrics that will be used in 

the evaluation to determine whether the 

outcomes have been achieved as a result 

of each intervention and how these 

metrics will be measured: 

The metrics used in the evaluation 

include costs associated with a 

reduction in newborn ER visits and a 

reduction in costs associated with low 

birthweight. 

12. The estimate of the savings to the 

Federal, State, and local government, on 

a program-by-program basis and in the 

aggregate, if the agreement is entered 

into and implemented and the outcomes 

are achieved as a result of each 

intervention: 

The estimated savings to the federal 

government is $11,2029. 

The estimated savings to the State of 

South Carolina is $4,876,774.

UNITED STATES SENTENCING 

COMMISSION 

Sentencing Guidelines for United 

States Courts 

AGENCY: United States Sentencing 

Commission. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The United States Sentencing 

Commission intends to examine the

Guidelines Manual. As part of its 

statutory authority and responsibility to 

analyze sentencing issues, including 

operation of the federal sentencing

Retroactivity Criteria. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Dukes, Senior Public Affairs 

Specialist, (202) 502–4597. 

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 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 Background Commentary to 

§ 1B1.10 (Reduction in Term of 

Imprisonment as a Result of Amended 

Guideline Range (Policy Statement)) 

provides a non-exhaustive list of criteria 

the Commission typically considers in 

selecting the amendments to be 

included in § 1B1.10(d) for retroactive 

application: ‘‘the purpose of the 

amendment, the magnitude of the 

change in the guideline range made by 

the amendment, and the difficulty of 

applying the amendment retroactively 

to determine an amended guideline 

range under subsection (b)(1).’’ USSG 

§ 1B1.10, comment. (backg’d). This nonexhaustive list of criteria has remained 

substantively unchanged since the 

Commission originally promulgated the 

policy statement at § 1B1.10 in 1989. 

Issues for Comment: 

1. The Commission seeks comment on 

whether it should provide further 

guidance on how the existing criteria for 

determining whether an amendment 

should apply retroactively are applied. 

If so, what should that guidance be? 

Should it revise or expand the criteria? 

Are there additional criteria that the
