Commentary to Sentencing Table

Application Notes:

1. The Offense Level (1–43) forms the vertical axis of the Sentencing Table. The Criminal History

Category (I–VI) forms the horizontal axis of the Table. The intersection of the Offense Level and

Criminal History Category displays the Guideline Range in months of imprisonment. “Life”

means life imprisonment. For example, the guideline range applicable to a defendant with an

Offense Level of 15 and a Criminal History Category of III is 24–30 months of imprisonment.

2. In rare cases, a total offense level of less than 1 or more than 43 may result from application of

the guidelines. A total offense level of less than 1 is to be treated as an offense level of 1. An

offense level of more than 43 is to be treated as an offense level of 43.

3. The Criminal History Category is determined by the total criminal history points from Chapter Four, Part A, except as provided in §§4B1.1 (Career Offender) and 4B1.4 (Armed Career

Criminal). The total criminal history points associated with each Criminal History Category are

shown under each Criminal History Category in the Sentencing Table.
