(4) The notice may specify the time at which, and the manner and form in which, any information is to be furnished to the Commission, but the time at which any information is to be furnished in compliance with the notice shall not be later than 5 years after the notice has become final.
(5) The Commission shall not serve a non-discrimination notice in respect of any person unless it has first—
