Where “the court finds that the information in the record enables it to meaningfully exercise its sentencing authority under 18 u.s.c. 3553,” rule 32 allow the court to waive the requirement that an officer conduct a presentence investigation and submit a report. In most felony and class a misdemeanor cases, the officer will need to conduct a standard or modified presentence investigation for the court. In other cases, however, the record may be sufficient for the court to “meaningfully exercise its sentencing authority.” The officer may prepare a supplemental report to the federal bureau of prisons for any defendant who did not receive a presentence report, received a commitment to the bureau of prisons, and has at least nine months imprisonment remaining to be served. Guidance on the scope of the investigation and the content of the report is provided in appendix d, postsentence reports.
