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 established 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 nine
members, each of whom may serve not more than two consecutive three-
year terms. Of those nine members, not more than one shall be a federal
judge; two shall be from the Executive Branch (one from the United
States Department of Justice and one from the United States Department
of the Interior); one shall be from a federal public defender
organization or community defender organization; one shall be a tribal
court judge; and not more than four shall be at-large members.
Members of the Tribal Issues Advisory Group are appointed by the
Commission. To be eligible to serve as a member, an individual must
have expertise, knowledge and/or experience in the issues considered by
the Tribal Issues Advisory Group. The Commission intends that the at-
large membership shall include individuals with membership in or
experience with tribes, tribal governments, and tribal organizations,
appointed in a manner that ensures representation among tribal
communities diverse in size, geographic location, and other unique
characteristics.
In view of an upcoming vacancy in the membership of the Tribal

experience in the issues considered by the Tribal Issues Advisory Group
