Commission should consider beyond 

those listed in the existing Background 

Commentary to § 1B1.10? Are there 

identifiable sources that the 

Commission should consult that 

highlight retroactivity criteria relied 

upon by other legislative or rulemaking 

bodies? 

If the Commission continues to list 

criteria relevant to determining whether 

an amendment should apply 

retroactively, should it adopt any brightline rules? Is there a different approach 

that the Commission should consider 

for these purposes? 

2. The Commission seeks comment on 

whether any listed criteria are more 

appropriately addressed in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure rather than the Background 

Commentary to § 1B1.10. 

3. Rule 4.1A (Retroactive Application 

of Amendments) of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure 

provides ‘‘[g]enerally, promulgated 

amendments will be given prospective 

application only.’’ The Commission 

seeks comment on whether it should 

retain this provision. If so, how should 

the Commission ensure that any listed 

criteria reflect this provision? 

Authority: 28 U.S.C. 994(a), (o), (p), 

(x); USSC Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 2.2, 4.3, 4.4.
