                                        - 8 -                                         
         Mather that he needed to submit information regarding the stock,             
         such as the fair market value, in writing and that a revenue                 
         officer would make a determination regarding the sale of the                 
         stock.  Petitioners did not submit the required information                  
         regarding the fair market value of the stock.  Respondent did not            
         sell the stock accounts and made no determination regarding                  
         petitioners’ request.                                                        
              On May 8, 2002, the Appeals officer issued to petitioners a             
         Notice of Determination Concerning Collection Action(s) Under                
         Section 6320 and/or 6330 (the notice of determination).  In the              
         notice of determination, the Appeals Office determined that                  
         petitioners were precluded from challenging their underlying tax             
         liabilities for 1993, 1994, and 1995, and that respondent’s                  
         jeopardy levy would not be withdrawn.                                        
                                       OPINION                                        
         I.  Introduction                                                             
              If a person neglects or refuses to make payment of any                  
         assessed Federal tax liability within 10 days of notice and                  
         demand, the Secretary is authorized to collect the assessed tax              
         by levy on the person’s property.  Sec. 6331(a).  Section 6330(a)            
         provides, however, that no levy may be made on any property or               
         right to property of any person unless the Secretary has notified            
         such person in writing of the right to a fair hearing before                 
         levy.
