No, he has not. In fact, there have been several efforts over the past few years to reform federal sentencing, but these efforts have not succeeded, since being "tough on crime" is a popular image for politicians, and it's difficult to get votes in favor of prison reform. At this point, federal inmates convicted of a violent crime must serve at least 85 percent of their sentence. Attempts to reduce it to 65% have not yet passed congress.
