The U.S. Code does not refer specifically to either committed or
non-committed fines. These terms have evolved to distinguish between the
two types of fines.
[b. Costs. Monetary costs of the legal proceeding which the court may
levy. Imposition of costs is similar in legal effect to imposition of a
fine. The court may also impose costs with a condition of imprisonment.]
