for a price direction or price variation investigation—

a copy of the price direction; and

a statement of the reasons for the direction; and

a statement of the methodology used in determining the direction; and

a statement to the effect that review of the decision by an industry panel (except for a price variation by consent) is available under part 4C (Review of price directions), subject to procedures explained in the statement;
