AMENDMENT 284

The Commentary to §5F5.4 captioned "Background" is amended by deleting the third paragraph as follows:

"The legislative history indicates that, although the sanction was designed to provide actual notice to victims, a court might properly limit notice to only those victims who could be most readily identified, if to do otherwise would unduly prolong or complicate the sentencing process.".

Reason for Amendment: The purpose of this amendment is to delete an unnecessary statement that could be subject to misinterpretation.

Effective Date: The effective date of this amendment is November 1, 1989.
