    SUMMARY: In 1991 the IRS established the Information Reporting Program 
    Advisory Committee. The primary purpose of IRPAC is to provide an 
    organized public forum for discussion of relevant information reporting 
    issues between the officials of the IRS and representatives of the 
    payer community. IRPAC offers constructive observations about current 
    or proposed policies, programs, and procedures and, when necessary, 
    suggests ways to improve the operation of the Information Reporting 
    Program.

    canceled because of the Government-wide furlough, has been rescheduled
