The National Fine Center was established in accordance with the
Criminal Fine Improvements Act of 1987, P.L. 100-185, effective December
11, 1987, which provided authority (18 U.S.C. 3611 and 3612) for the
Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to specify that
payments of fines be made to the clerk of the court or as provided by
his authority to ``establish procedures and mechanisms within the
judicial branch for processing fines, restitution, forfeitures of bail
bonds or collateral, and assessments'' (28 U.S.C. 604(a)(18)). 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 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 purposes of the Commission are to
establish and amend sentencing guidelines for the United States district
courts and other sentencing policies and practices for the Federal
criminal justice system. 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 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. Various other criminal statutes, such as the Violent Crime
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-322), contain
provisions which the Commission must implement within the guideline
system or require reports to Congress on specific sentencing topics.
