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 in one-year increments, not to exceed two years. 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 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 ACT. Nominations should also 
specify the vacancy for which they wish to be considered. The Secretary 
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 or Indian tribal governments.
    Nominees must go through a clearance process before selection by 
the Secretary of the Treasury. In accordance with Department of the 
Treasury Directive 21-03, the clearance process includes, among other 
things, pre-appointment and annual tax checks, and a Federal Bureau of 
Investigation criminal and subversive name check and security 
clearance.
