1. Designated areas of the matrix
				indicate restrictive intermediate punishments may be imposed as a substitute
				for incarceration.
2. When restrictive intermediate
				punishments are appropriate, the duration of the restrictive intermediate
				punishment programs are recommended not to exceed the guideline
				ranges.
3. When the
				range is RS through a number of months (e.g. RS-6), RIP may be
				appropriate.
4. All
				numbers in sentence recommendations suggest months of minimum confinement
				pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.
				9755(b)
				and
				9756(b).
5. Statutory classification
				(e.g., F1, F2, etc.) in brackets reflect the omnibus OGS assignment for the
				given grade.
