Employee Pension (SEP) described in Internal Revenue Code section

    OMB Control Number: 1545-1791.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Description: The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) requires 
that committee membership be fairly balanced in terms of points of view 
represented and the functions to be performed. As a result, members of 
specific committees often have both the expertise and professional 
skills that parallel the program responsibilities of their sponsoring 
agencies. Selection of committee members is based on the FACA's 
requirements and the potential member's background and qualifications. 
Therefore, an application is needed to ascertain the desired skills set 
for membership. The IRS will also use the information to perform 
federal income tax, background, and practitioner checks as required of 
all members and applicants to the Committee or Council. Information 
provided will be used to qualify or disqualify individuals to serve as 
members.
