                    Held further:  We lack jurisdiction under sec.                    
               6404(g) since, under these circumstances, the notice of                
               deficiency issued to Ps does not constitute a notice of                
               the Secretary's final determination not to abate                       
               interest.                                                              


               Robert E. Kovacevich, for petitioners.                                 
               Michelle K. Loesch and Pamela Wilson Fuller, for respondent.

          opinion of the Special Trial Judge, which is set forth below.               
                         OPINION OF THE SPECIAL TRIAL JUDGE                           
          PANUTHOS, Chief Special Trial Judge:  This matter is before                 
          the Court on respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Lack of                     
          Jurisdiction and to Strike With Respect to Penalties and
