to 38 U.S.C. Sec. 7292(b)(1), the court has exclusive jurisdiction of
certain interlocutory orders of the Court of Veterans Appeals.

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 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 Judicial Survivors' Annuities Fund (section 376 of title 28,
United States Code) was established to receive sums deducted and
withheld from salaries of justices, judges, the Director of the Federal
Judicial Center, the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S.
Courts, and the Administrative Assistant to the Chief Justice who have
elected to bring themselves within the purview of the above section as
well as amounts received from said judicial officers covering Federal
civilian service prior to date of election.
This fund provides an annuity for participants' surviving widows and

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.
