of relevant employee plans, exempt organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and 
Federal, 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

year. ACT members will not be paid for their time or services. ACT 
members will be reimbursed for their travel-related expenses to attend

organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and federal, 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
