SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction

    In the Federal Register of February 14, 2022, in FR Doc. 2022-
03024, on page 8340, the language describing International Taxpayers is 
being replaced to read:
    Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Treasury and the 
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are inviting individuals to help improve 
the nation's tax agency by applying to be members of the Taxpayer 
Advocacy Panel (TAP). The mission of the TAP is to listen to taxpayers, 
identify issues that affect taxpayers, and make suggestions for 
improving IRS service and customer satisfaction. The TAP serves as an 
advisory body to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Commissioner of 
Internal Revenue, and the National Taxpayer Advocate. TAP members will 
participate in subcommittees that channel their feedback to the IRS 
through the Panel's parent committee.
    The IRS is seeking applicants who have an interest in good 
government, a personal commitment to volunteer approximately 200 to 300 
hours a year, and a desire to help improve IRS customer service. As a 
federal advisory committee, TAP is required to have a fairly balanced 
membership in terms of the points of view represented. Thus, TAP 
membership represents a cross-section of the taxpaying public with at 
least one member from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto 
Rico, in addition to one member representing international taxpayers. 
For these purposes, ``international taxpayers'' are broadly defined to 
include U.S. citizens working, living, or doing business abroad. 
Potential candidates must be U.S. citizens, not a current employee of 
any Bureau of the Treasury Department or have worked for any Bureau of 
the Treasury Department within the three years of December 1 of the 
current year and must pass a federal tax compliance check and a Federal 
Bureau of Investigation criminal background investigation. Applicants 
who practice before the IRS must be in good standing with the IRS 
(meaning not currently under suspension or disbarment). Federally 
registered lobbyists cannot be members of the TAP. The IRS is seeking 
candidates in the following locations: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, 
California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, 
Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North 
Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, 
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, 
South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. TAP members 
are a diverse group of citizens who represent the interests of 
taxpayers, from their respective geographic locations as well as 
taxpayers overall. Members provide feedback from a taxpayer's 
perspective on ways to improve IRS customer service and administration 
of the federal tax system, by identifying grassroots taxpayer issues. 
Members should have good communication skills and be able to speak to 
taxpayers about TAP and its activities, while clearly distinguishing 
between TAP positions and their personal viewpoints.
    Interested applicants should visit the TAP website at 
www.improveirs.org for more information about TAP. Applications may be 
submitted online at www.usajobs.gov. For questions about TAP 
membership, call the TAP toll-free number, 1-888-912-1227 and select 
prompt 5. Callers who are outside of the U.S. should call 214-413-6523 
(not a toll-free call).
    The opening date for submitting applications is February 14, 2022, 
and the deadline for submitting applications is April 8, 2022. 
Interviews will be held. The Department of the Treasury will review the 
recommended candidates and make final selections. New TAP members will 
serve a three-year term starting in December 2022. (Note: Highly ranked 
applicants not selected as members may be placed on a roster of 
alternates who will be eligible to fill future vacancies that may occur 
on the Panel.)
    Questions regarding the selection of TAP members may be directed to 
Lisa Billups, Taxpayer Advocacy Panel, Internal Revenue Service, 1111 
Constitution Avenue NW, TA:TAP Room 1509, Washington, DC 20224, or 214-
413-6523 (not a toll-free call).

    Dated: February 17, 2022.
Kevin Brown,
Acting Director, Taxpayer Advocacy Panel.
