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 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 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 federal, state, local 
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 would represent (such as, 
employee 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.
