The National Fine Center was established in accordance with the
Criminal Fine Improvements Act of 1987, P.L. 100-185, effective December
11, 1987, which provided authority (18 U.S.C. 3611 and 3612) for the
Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to specify that
payments of fines be made to the clerk of the court or as provided by
his authority to ``establish procedures and mechanisms within the
judicial branch for processing fines, restitution, forfeitures of bail
bonds or collateral, and assessments'' (28 U.S.C. 604(a)(18)).
The National Fine Center closed on December 31, 1996, after an
independent assessment determined that a national approach to fine
collection was not viable. Nearly all unobligated balances were
transferred back to the Crime Victims Fund in 1997.
