In fraud assessments, the six-month period for issuing a show cause notice before the order-in-original was treated as directory, not mandatory, because the statute prescribed no consequence for breach; the challenge therefore turned on prejudice, and none was shown where multiple notices, replies, and personal hearings were granted and the assessment was passed within limitation.
