(e) Such other factors regarding the circumstances of the crime or the person sentenced, or the effective enforcement of the sentence, as may be appropriate in designating the State of enforcement.

In such a case, the costs arising out of the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment shall be borne by the Court.
