As part of your supervised release, you must comply with the fo llowing standard conditions of supervision. These conditions are imposed

       court or the probation officer.

12.    lfthe probation officer determines that you pose a risk to another person (including an organization), the probation officer may

               in installments of $200 per month to begin 60 days after the defendant's release from prison. At the ti me of the defendant's release , the

               modification of the payment schedule.
