(d) Victim impact statement.--

1. During preparation of the presentence report pursuant to Rule 32 {c} of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, victims of the offense shall be permitted to submit, and the probation officer shall receive, a victim impact statement that identifies the victim of the offense and the extent and scope of the injury and loss suffered by the victim, including the estimated economic impact of the offense on that victim.

 

Which actually is why this is a big thing... such impact sheets may start to be rejected due to the government saying the current research is bogus.
