SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee on Tax Exempt and 
Government Entities (ACT), governed by the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law 92-463, is an organized public forum for discussion 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 
shall serve for two-year terms. Terms can be extended for an additional 
year. 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 Indian tribal governments, to 
nominate individuals for membership on the ACT. Nominations should 
describe and document the proposed member's qualifications for ACT 
membership, including the nominee's past or current affiliations and 
dealings with the particular community or segment of the community that 
he or she wishes to represent (such as, employees plans). Nominations 
should also specify the vacancy for which they wish to be considered. 
The Department of the Treasury seeks a diverse group of members 
representing a broad spectrum of persons experienced in employee plans, 
exempt organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and federal, state, local and 
Indian tribal governments. Nominees must go through a clearance process 
before selection by the Department of the Treasury. In accordance with 
the Department of the Treasury Directive 21-03, the clearance process 
includes, among other things, pre-appointment and annual tax checks, 
and an FBI criminal and subversive name check, fingerprint check, and 
security clearance.
