pervised release for a technical violation, the court

not impose a term of imprisonment unless it finds 
that—
‘‘(A) the defendant was previously subject 
to more than one community-based sanction,

the terms of supervised release.

revocation of supervised release for a technical viola-
tion may temporarily waive the right to formal adju-
dication of the violation and agree to participate in 
an informal process under which a probation officer 
may impose graduated community-based sanctions 
for technical violations. If a defendant abides by the 
terms of supervised release for a 6-month period fol-
lowing the commencement of such an informal proc-
ess, the petition for revocation of supervised release 
shall be dismissed. 
‘‘(3) DEFINITIONS.—In this subsection— 
‘‘(A) the term ‘technical violation’ means 
conduct that does not constitute a new crime, 
except that possession of a controlled substance 
shall be treated as a technical violation; and

means a sanction other than imprisonment that 
permits the defendant to remain in the commu-
nity under continued supervised release, which 
may include commitment to a community cor-
rection facility, a requirement that the defend-
ant obtain drug treatment or other social serv-
ice, electronic monitoring, or other form of in-
tensive supervision.

bation Service shall publish annually an analysis of 
cases involving the revocation of supervised release, 
including the number of violations of supervised re-
lease that constitute technical violations, the number 
of technical violations that involve possession of a 
controlled substance, and the disposition of viola-
tions of supervised release by category.’’.
