AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of open meeting of the Electronic Tax Administration

SUMMARY: In 1998 the IRS established the Electronic Tax Administration
Advisory Committee (ETAAC). The primary purpose of ETAAC is to provide
an organized public forum for discussion of electronic tax
administration issues in support of the overriding goal that paperless
filing should be the preferred and most convenient method of filing tax
and information returns. ETAAC offers constructive observations about
current or proposed policies, programs, and procedures, and suggests
improvements.
There will be a meeting of ETAAC Friday, June 18, 1999. The meeting
will be held in the United States Capitol Building, Room HC5,
Washington, D.C. A summarized version of the agenda along with a list
