SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Sentencing Commission is
an independent agency in the judicial branch of the United States
Government. The Commission promulgates sentencing guidelines and policy
statements for federal courts pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a). The
Commission also periodically reviews and revises previously promulgated
guidelines pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(o) and submits guideline
amendments to the Congress not later than the first day of May each
year pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(p).
The Tribal Issues Advisory Group is a standing advisory group of
the United States Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 995 and
Rule 5.4 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. Under the
charter for the Tribal Issues Advisory Group, the purpose of the
advisory group is (1) to assist the Commission in carrying out its
statutory responsibilities under 28 U.S.C. 994(o); (2) to provide to
the Commission its views on federal sentencing issues relating to
American Indian and Alaska Native defendants and victims, and to
offenses committed in Indian country; (3) to engage in meaningful
consultation and outreach with tribes, tribal governments, and tribal
organizations regarding federal sentencing issues that have tribal
implications; (4) to disseminate information regarding federal
sentencing issues to tribes, tribal governments, and tribal
organizations; and (5) to perform any other related functions as the
Commission requests. The advisory group consists of no more than 9
members, each of whom may serve not more than two consecutive three-

large membership shall include individuals with membership in or

communities diverse in size, geographic location, and other unique
characteristics.
The Commission invites any individual who is eligible to be
