REVISED ON MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION *
PER CURIAM.
The Sentencing Guidelines Commission has filed two petitions seeking changes in Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.701 and 3.988. The first amendments, presented in case no. 74,818, are purely procedural and are intended to incorporate legislative changes regarding crimes subject to the *771sentencing guidelines. The second petition, case no. 75,364, revises the forms contained in rule 3.988(a)-(j) to conform to the paper-size requirements implemented in In re Amendment to Florida Rules of Judicial Administration, Rule 2.055 (Paper Size), 550 So.2d 457 (Fla.1989). The forms have been completely revised and require more detailed information than previous forms, but do not change the criteria used to calculate a guidelines sentence or the weight assigned to those criteria.
Therefore, we amend rules 3.701 and 3.988 as indicated in the appendix to this opinion. The amendments adopted in no. 74,818 will be effective immediately upon filing of this opinion. The new forms adopted in no. 75,364 will be effective at 12:01 a.m., January 1, 1991.
It is so ordered.
SHAW, C.J., and OVERTON, McDonald, ehrlich, barkett, GRIMES and KOGAN, JJ., concur.
