SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for the Tax Counseling for the 
Elderly (TCE) Program is contained in Section 163 of the Revenue Act of 
1978, Pub. L. 95-600, (92 Stat. 12810), November 6, 1978. Regulations 
were published in the Federal Register at 44 FR 72113 on December 13, 
1979. Section 163 gives Internal Revenue Service authority to enter 
into cooperative agreements with private or public non-profit agencies 
or organizations to establish a network of trained volunteers to 
provide free tax information and return preparation assistance to 
elderly individuals. Elderly individuals are defined as individual age 
60 and over at the close of their taxable year.
    Cooperative agreements will be entered into based upon competition 
among eligible agencies and organizations. Because applications are 
being solicited before the FY 1995 budget has been approved, 
cooperative agreements will be entered into subject to appropriation of 
funds. Once funded, sponsoring agencies and organizations will receive 
a grant from the IRS for administrative expenses and to reimburse 
volunteers for expenses incurred in training and in providing tax 
return assistance. The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program is 
referenced in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance in Section 
21.006.
