          or her last known address.                                                  
               Section 6330(a)(2) provides that the prescribed notice shall           
          be provided not less than 30 days before the day of the first               
          levy with respect to the amount of the unpaid tax for the taxable           
          period.  Further, section 6330(a)(3)(B) provides that the                   
          prescribed notice shall explain that the person has the right to            
          request an Appeals Office hearing during the 30-day period under            
          paragraph (2).                                                              
               Where the Appeals Office issues a notice of determination to           
          the taxpayer following an administrative hearing regarding a levy           
          action, section 6330(d)(1) provides that the taxpayer will have             
          30 days following the issuance of such determination letter to              
          file a petition for review with the Tax Court or Federal District           
          Court, as may be appropriate.  See Offiler v. Commissioner, 114             
          T.C. 492, 498 (2000).  We have held that the Court’s jurisdiction           
          under section 6330 depends on the issuance of a valid                       
          determination letter and the filing of a timely petition for                
          review.  See Sarrell v. Commissioner, 117 T.C. 122, 125 (2001);             
          Offiler v. Commissioner, supra at 498.                                      
               On October 13, 2000, respondent mailed to petitioner a final           
          notice of intent to levy with regard to his unpaid taxes for                
          1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996.  Petitioner received the final notice           
          of intent to levy on October 14, 2000.  Consequently, the 30-day            
          period within which petitioner was required to file with
