UNITED STATES SENTENCING 

COMMISSION 

Sentencing Guidelines for United 

States Courts 

AGENCY: United States Sentencing 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of final priorities. 

SUMMARY: In August 2008, the 

Commission published a notice of 

possible policy priorities for the 

amendment cycle ending May 1, 2009. 

See 72 FR 46341 (August 8, 2008). 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: 

Michael Courlander, Public Affairs 

Officer, Telephone: (202) 502–4590. 

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). 

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, 2009. The Commission 

recognizes, however, that other factors, 

such as the enactment of any 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, 2009. Accordingly, it may be 

necessary to continue work on any or all 

of these issues beyond the amendment 

cycle ending on May 1, 2009. 

As so prefaced, the Commission has 

identified the following priorities: 

(1) Continuation of its work on federal 

sentencing policy with the 

congressional, executive, and judicial 

branches of the government, and other 

interested parties, in light of United 

States v. Booker and subsequent 

Supreme Court decisions, possibly 

including (A) An evaluation of the 

impact of those decisions on the federal 

sentencing guideline system, (B) 

development of amendments to the 

federal sentencing guidelines, (C) 

development of recommendations for 

legislation regarding federal sentencing 

policy, and (D) a study of statutory 

mandatory minimum penalties; 

(2) Consideration of alternatives to 

incarceration, including preparation and 

dissemination of information and 

materials from the ‘‘Symposium on 

Crime and Punishment in the United 

States: Alternatives to Incarceration,’’ 

hosted by the Commission on July 14– 

15, 2008, in Washington, DC; 

(3) Implementation of crime 

legislation enacted during the 110th or 

111th Congress warranting a 

Commission response, including (A) the 

Court Security Improvement Act of 

2007, Public Law 110–177; and (B) any 

other legislation authorizing statutory 

penalties or creating new offenses that 

requires incorporation into the 

guidelines; 

(4) Continuation of its work with 

Congress and other interested parties on 

cocaine sentencing policy to implement 

the recommendations set forth in the 

Commission’s 2002 and 2007 reports to 

Congress, both entitled Cocaine and 

Federal Sentencing Policy, and to 

develop appropriate guideline 

amendments in response to any related 

legislation; 

(5) A multi-year study of the 

definition of ‘‘crime of violence’’ used 

in both statutes and guidelines; 

(6) Continuation of its efforts, in light 

of recent Supreme Court jurisprudence 

and pursuant to the Commission’s 

ongoing authority and responsibility 

under 28 U.S.C. 995(a)(17), (18), and 

(21), to receive feedback and provide 

expanded training on the federal 

sentencing guidelines, including 

possibly holding regional public 

hearings; 

(7) Resolution of circuit conflicts, 

pursuant to the Commission’s 

continuing authority and responsibility, 

under 28 U.S.C. 991(b)(1)(B) and 

Braxton v. United States, 500 U.S. 344 

(1991), to resolve conflicting 

interpretations of the guidelines by the 

federal courts; and 

(8) Consideration of miscellaneous 

guideline application issues regarding 

(A) Offenses involving counterfeit 

bearer obligations of the United States, 

(B) application of § 3C1.3 (Commission 

of Offense While on Release), and (C) 

other miscellaneous issues coming to 

the Commission’s attention from case 

law and other sources. 

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