   file a separate affidavit and shall provide the victim with an
   affidavit form which may be used to do so.

   not to exceed 90 days after sentencing. If the victim subsequently
   discovers further losses, the victim shall have 60 days after
   discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for an
   amended restitution order. Such order may be granted only upon a
   showing of good cause for the failure to include such losses in the
   initial claim for restitutionary relief.
   
   
   
   "(d) Modification of Order .-A victim or the offender may petition the
   court at any time to modify a restitution order as appropriate in view
   of a change in the economic circumstances of the offender.
   
   
   
   "(e) Reference to Magistrate or Special Master .-The court may refer
   any issue arising in connection with a proposed order of restitution
