SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Sentencing Commission, an 
independent agency in the judicial branch of the U.S. Government, is 
empowered by 28 U.S.C. 994(a) to promulgate sentencing guidelines and 
policy statements for federal sentencing courts. The statute further 
directs that the Commission periodically review and revise promulgated 
guidelines and authorizes it to submit guideline amendments to the

    The Commission currently expects to vote November 22, 1994, and 
December 8, 1994, on items that will be included in a December 1994 
Federal Register publication soliciting formal comment on potential 
amendments. (The Commission also plans to meet November 4, 1994, to 
consider several matters, possibly including some amendment proposals 
of its own.) To provide opportunity for input from all interested 
individuals and groups, the Commission has established a deadline of 
November 15, 1994, for the receipt of amendment proposals or issues for 
comment, for consideration in this amendment cycle.
    While this notice solicits proposals on any aspect of the 
Guidelines Manual, it should be understood that the Commission may 
elect not to publish some proposals at all, or it may propose them for 
comment in a modified form. The Commission also expects to consider for 
publication proposals of its own.
