Internal Revenue Service
Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee; Open Membership
Application Period
AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.
ACTION: Announcement of Open Membership Application Period for the
Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In 1991 the IRS established the Information Reporting Program
Advisory Committee (IRPAC). 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. IRPAC is currently comprised of 18 representatives
from various segments of the private sector payer community. Four of
these appointments to IRPAC will expire at the end of 1994. Additional
members will be selected for two-year terms beginning in January 1995.
DATES: Completed questionnaires should be received by IRS no later than
June 30, 1994. Applications received after this date will not be
considered. An acknowledgment letter will be sent upon receipt of each
application.
ADDRESSES: Internal Revenue Service, CP:EX:I:P, 1111 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Room 2013, Washington, DC 20224.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kate LaBuda at 202-622-3404 (not a
toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IRPAC reports to the Executive Director,
Information Reporting Program (IRP), who is the executive responsible
for information reporting and is charged with its system-wide planning
and improvement. IRPAC is instrumental in providing advice to enhance
the IRP Program. Increasing participation by external stakeholders in
the planning and improvement of the tax system will help achieve the
goals of increasing voluntary compliance and reduction of burden. IRPAC
members are not paid for their time or services, but consistent with
Federal regulations, they will be reimbursed for their travel and
lodging expenses to attend a two-day meeting twice each year.
The IRS is interested in representation from different areas of the
payer community (e.g., real estate, property & casualty insurance,
small business, corporate compliance, software development, employee
plans, and state & local government, etc.). Anyone wishing to be
considered for membership on IRPAC should so advise the IRS. Please
complete the following questionnaire and forward it to Ms. Kate LaBuda
of the IRP Planning Staff, at the address below.
Dated: April 29, 1994.
