            (8) Whether the offense was intended to, or had the effect 
        of, significantly interfering with or disrupting a critical 
        infrastructure.
            (9) Whether the offense was intended to, or had the effect 
        of, creating a threat to public health or safety, causing

        should include individuals whose privacy was violated as a 
        result of the offense in addition to individuals who suffered 
        monetary harm as a result of the offense.
            (13) Whether the defendant disclosed personal information 
        obtained during the commission of the offense.
    (c) Additional Requirements.--In carrying out this section, the

Sets forth criteria for updating such guidelines and policy statements.
