    Notice is hereby given under section 10(a)(2) of the Federal

of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a necessary committee that is 
in the public interest, has been renewed for an additional two years

    The Panel helps the Internal Revenue Service review and evaluate 
the acceptability of property appraisals submitted by taxpayers in 
support of the fair market value claimed on works of art involved in 
Federal Income, Estate or Gift taxes in accordance with sections 170, 
2031, and 2512 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
    For the Panel to perform this function, Panel records and

meetings will concern matters that are exempted from disclosure under 
the provisions of section 552b(c)(3), (4), (6) and (7) of Title 5 of 
the U.S. Code. This determination, which is in accordance with section 
10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, is necessary to protect 
the confidentiality of tax returns and return information as required 
by section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code.

John A. Koskinen,
