Search 18 U.S.C. § 3555 : US Code - Section 3555: Order of notice to victims

The court, in imposing a sentence on a defendant who has been
found guilty of an offense involving fraud or other intentionally
deceptive practices, may order, in addition to the sentence that is
imposed pursuant to the provisions of section 3551, that the
defendant give reasonable notice and explanation of the conviction,
in such form as the court may approve, to the victims of the
offense. The notice may be ordered to be given by mail, by
advertising in designated areas or through designated media, or by
other appropriate means. In determining whether to require the
defendant to give such notice, the court shall consider the factors
set forth in section 3553(a) to the extent that they are applicable
and shall consider the cost involved in giving the notice as it
relates to the loss caused by the offense, and shall not require
the defendant to bear the costs of notice in excess of $20,000.
