• recognizing that § 701(a)(2) applies outside of enforcement context
• holding remand is inappropriate where “the error did not affect the district court’s selection of the sentence imposed”
• explaining that statements in committee reports “do not establish any legal requirements on the agency” when Congress appropri- ates lump-sum amounts (internal quotation marks omitted)
