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.

    Approved:
John Devlin,
Executive Director, Information Reporting Program.
