SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published in accordance with 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, (5 
U.S.C., App.) advices of the renewal of 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. The ETAAC members convey the 
public's observations about current or proposed policies, programs, and 
procedures, and suggest improvements. The ETAAC also provides an annual 
report to Congress on IRS progress in meeting the Restructuring and 
Reform Act of 1998 goals for electronic filing of tax returns. This 
activity is based on the authority to administer the Internal Revenue 
laws conferred upon the Secretary of the Treasury by section 7802 of 
the Internal Revenue Code and delegated to the Commissioner of the 
Internal Revenue.
    ETAAC membership is balanced and includes representatives from 
various groups such as: (1) Tax practitioners and preparers, (2) 
transmitters of electronic returns, (3) tax software developers, (4) 
large and small businesses, (5) employers and payroll service 
providers, (6) individual taxpayers, (7) financial industry (payers, 
payment options and best practices), (8) system integrators (technology 
providers), (9) academic (marketing, sales or technical perspectives), 
(10) trusts and estates, (11) tax exempt organizations, and (12) state 
and local governments.
