SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    The Advisory Committee on Tax Exempt and Government Entities (ACT), 
governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law No. 92-463, 
is an organized public forum for discussion of relevant employee plans, 
exempt organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and state, local, and Indian 
tribal government issues between officials of the IRS and 
representatives of the above communities. The ACT also enables the IRS 
to receive regular input with respect to the development and 
implementation of IRS policy concerning these communities. ACT members 
present the interested public's observations about current or proposed 
IRS policies, programs, and procedures, as well as suggest 
improvements.
    ACT members shall be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and 
shall serve for two-year terms. Terms can be extended in one-year 
increments, not to exceed two years. ACT members will not be paid for 
their time or services. ACT members will be reimbursed for their 
travel-related expenses to attend working sessions and public meetings, 
in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 5703.
    The Secretary of the Treasury invites those individuals, 
organizations, and groups affiliated with employee plans, exempt 
organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and state, local or Indian tribal 
governments, to nominate individuals for membership on the ACT. 
Nominations should describe and document the proposed member's 
qualifications for membership on the ACT. Nominations should also 
specify the vacancy for which they wish to be considered. The Secretary 
seeks a diverse group of members representing a broad spectrum of 
persons experienced in employee plans, exempt organizations, tax-exempt 
bonds, and state, local or Indian tribal governments.
    Nominees must go through a clearance process before selection by 
the Secretary of the Treasury. In accordance with Department of the 
Treasury Directive 21-03, the clearance process includes, among other 
things, pre-appointment and annual tax checks, and a Federal Bureau of 
Investigation criminal and subversive name check and security 
clearance.
