The Victims of Crime Act Reauthorization (P.L. 100–690) amended 42 U.S.C. 10601 to provide a formula by which funds would be available to the judiciary for administrative costs to carry out the collection of fines and assessments by the judicial branch, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3611 and 3612. In fiscal year 1993, 42 U.S.C. 10601 was amended by P.L. 102–572 authorizing the first $6.2 million deposited in the Crime Victims Fund in each of the fiscal years 1993 through 1995 and the first $3.0 million deposited in each fiscal year thereafter to be made available to the judiciary for administrative costs to carry out the functions of the judicial branch under sections 3611 and 3612 of Title 18. The National Fine Center closed on December 31, 1996, after an independent assessment determined that a national approach to fine collection was not viable. All unobligated balances are to be transferred back to the Crime Victims Fund in FY 1997.

The United States Sentencing Commission was established pursuant to provisions of the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 (Public Law 98–473, Title II), as amended. The Commission was created to establish, review, and revise sentencing guidelines, policies, and practices for the Federal criminal justice system and to advise Congress and the Executive Branch on crime and sentencing policy. The Commission is also charged with developing means of measuring the degree to which the sentencing, penal, and correctional practices are effective in meeting the purposes of sentencing as set forth in new section 3553(a)(2) of Title 18, United States Code, by section 212(a) of the Act. The Commission’s mission encompasses a broad spectrum of research related to disparity in sentencing, prison impact, recidivism, deterrence, rehabilitation, just punishment, incapacitation, and other areas. The Commission has specific responsibilities to: develop and maintain a comprehensive data base in order to analyze court application of the guidelines; evaluate the effects of guideline implementation in meeting statutory goals; develop training programs and provide assistance to probation officers and others in the criminal justice system on the application of sentencing guidelines. Recent criminal statutes, such as the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Act of 1996, contain provisions which the Commission must implement within the guideline system.
