Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee Meeting

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of open meeting of the Electronic Tax Administration 
Advisory Committee (ETAAC).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 on Thursday, June 6, 2002. The 
meeting will be held in the Swissotel Watergate, 2650 Virginia Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC. A summarized version of the agenda along with a
