ACTION: Request for Nominations. 

SUMMARY: The Internal Revenue Service 

(IRS) requests nominations of 

individuals for selection to the 

Information Reporting Program 

Advisory Committee (IRPAC). 

Nominations should describe and 

document the proposed member’s 

qualifications for IRPAC membership, 

including the applicant’s past or current 

affiliations and dealings with the 

particular tax segment or segments of 

the community that he or she wishes to 

represent on the committee. In addition 

to individual nominations, the IRS is 

soliciting nominations from professional 

and public interest groups that wish to 

have representatives on the IRPAC. 

IRPAC is comprised of 22 members. 

There are seven positions open for 

calendar year 2013. It is important that 

IRPAC continue to represent a diverse 

taxpayer and stakeholder base. 

Accordingly, to maintain membership 

diversity, selection is based on the 

applicant’s qualifications as well as the 

taxpayer or stakeholder base he/she 

represents. 

The IRPAC advises the IRS on 

information reporting issues of mutual 

concern to the private sector and the 

federal government. The committee 

works with the Commissioner of 

Internal Revenue and other IRS 

leadership to provide recommendations 

on a wide range of information reporting 

administration issues. Membership is 

balanced to include representation from 

the tax professional community, small 

and large businesses, banks, insurance 

companies, state tax administration, 

colleges and universities, and industries 

such as securities, payroll, finance and 

software. 

DATES: Written nominations must be 

received on or before May 31, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be sent

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Established in 1991 in response to an 

administrative recommendation in the 

final Conference Report of the Omnibus 

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, the 

IRPAC works 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.

particular encouragement to 

nominations from such appropriately 

qualified candidates.
