certifies that there is a controlling question of law and a
substantial ground for difference of opinion thereon, and that
an immediate appeal may materially advance the ultimate
termination of the litigation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C.
§ 7292(b)(1), the court has exclusive jurisdiction of certain
interlocutory orders of the Court of Veterans Appeals.

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, with the remaining balances transferred in
1999.
