                                       - 22 -                                         
          2003, notice does not mention currently not collectible status.             
          However, both notices discuss collection alternatives and                   
          highlight specific reasons why these were rejected.  Although the           
          November 25, 2003, notice does not use the words “currently not             
          collectible status”, it enumerates particular problems with                 
          respect to petitioners’ ability to qualify for “an Offer in                 
          Compromise or other collection alternative”, and the grounds                
          listed are patently relevant to evaluation of currently not                 
          collectible status.  In point of fact, the majority of                      
          petitioners’ complaints about the notices would seem to relate              
          more to the possibility of an abuse of discretion, and hence will           
          be dealt with infra, than to the legal sufficiency of the                   
          documents.                                                                  
               The Court concludes that both the administrative record and            
          the notices of determination are sufficient to support judicial             
          review.4                                                                    











               4 We note that we do not decide or reconsider whether we are           
          limited to the administrative record in conducting our review, as           
          that is not at issue in these cases.
