The investigation is being conducted at the request of the Committee on Ways and Means of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Committee also directed that the Commission seek public comment and input from other government agencies on other sectors that should be included as case studies. Notice of institution and the scheduling of a public hearing (which was held on October 30, 2007) was published in the Federal Register of July 31, 2007 (72 FR 41773).
