Upon petition of the Government showing that reasonable
efforts to collect a fine or assessment are not likely to be effective, the
court may, in the interest of justice—
(1) remit
all or part of the unpaid portion of the fine or special assessment, including
interest and penalties;
(2) defer
payment of the fine or special assessment to a date certain or pursuant to an
installment schedule; or
(3) extend
a date certain or an installment schedule previously ordered.
A petition under this subsection shall be filed in the court
in which sentence was originally imposed, unless the court transfers
jurisdiction to another court. This section shall apply to all fines and
assessments irrespective of the date of imposition.
