Such statement shall be furnished not later than 45 days after the later of the date of such request or the date of such determination or proposed determination.

Except to the extent otherwise provided by law, the value determined or proposed by the Secretary with respect to which a statement is furnished under this section, and the method used in arriving at such value, shall not be binding on the Secretary.
