SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

IRPAC was established in 1991 in 

response to an administrative 

recommendation in the final Conference 

Report of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1989. Since its 

inception, IRPAC has worked closely 

with the IRS to provide 

recommendations on a wide range of 

issues intended to improve the 

information reporting program and 

achieve fairness to taxpayers. Conveying 

the public’s perception of IRS activities 

to the Commissioner, the IRPAC is 

comprised of individuals who bring 

substantial, disparate experience and 

diverse backgrounds to the Committee’s 

activities. 

The IRPAC members are appointed by 

the Commissioner and serve a term of 

three years with approximately one 

third of the member’s terms expiring 

each year. Working groups address 

policies and administration issues 

specific to information reporting. 

Members are not paid for their services. 

However, travel expenses for working 

sessions, public meetings and 

orientation sessions, such as airfare, per 

diem, and transportation to and from 

airports, train stations, etc., are 

reimbursed within prescribed federal 

travel limitations. 

Receipt of applications will be 

acknowledged, and all individuals will 

be notified when selections have been 

made. In accordance with Department of 

Treasury Directive 21–03, a clearance 

process including, pre-appointment and 

annual tax checks, and a Federal Bureau 

of Investigation criminal and subversive 

name check through fingerprinting will 

be conducted on the final applicants. 

Equal opportunity practices will be 

followed for all appointments to the 

IRPAC in accordance with the 

Department of Treasury and IRS 

policies. To ensure that the 

recommendations of the IRPAC have 

taken into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by the IRS, 

membership shall include, to the extent 

practicable, individuals who 

demonstrate the ability to represent 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities. The Secretary of Treasury 

will review the recommended 

candidates and approve final selections.
