Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 10 / Thursday, January 15, 2009 / Notices 2655 

SUMMARY: The Electronic Tax 

Administration Advisory Committee 

(ETAAC) was established to provide 

continued input into the development 

and implementation of the Internal 

Revenue Service (IRS) strategy for 

electronic tax administration. The 

ETAAC provides an organized public 

forum for discussion of electronic tax 

administration issues in support of the 

overriding goal that paperless filing 

should be the preferred and most 

convenient method of filing tax and 

information returns. ETAAC members 

convey the public’s perception of IRS 

electronic tax administration activities, 

offer constructive observations about 

current or proposed policies, programs, 

and procedures, and suggest 

improvements. This document seeks 

applicants for selection as Committee 

members. 

The Director, Electronic Tax 

Administration (ETA) and Refundable 

Credits will assure that the size and 

organizational representation of the 

ETAAC obtains balanced membership 

and includes representatives from 

various groups including: (1) Tax 

practitioners and preparers, (2) 

transmitters of electronic returns, (3) tax 

software developers, (4) large and small 

business, (5) employers and payroll 

service providers, (6) individual 

taxpayers, (7) financial industry (payers, 

payment options and best practices), (8) 

system integrators (technology 

providers), (9) academic (marketing, 

sales or technical perspectives), (10) 

trusts and estates, (11) tax exempt 

organizations, and (12) state and local 

governments. We are soliciting 

applicants from professional and public 

interest groups. Members serve a threeyear term on the ETAAC to allow for a 

rotation in membership which ensures 

that different perspectives are 

represented. All travel expenses within 

government guidelines will be 

reimbursed. Potential candidates must 

pass an IRS tax compliance check and 

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) 

background investigation.

Revenue laws conferred upon the 

Secretary of the Treasury by section 

7801 of the Internal Revenue Code and 

delegated to the Commissioner of the 

Internal Revenue under section 7803 of 

the Internal Revenue Code. The ETAAC 

will research, analyze, consider, and 

make recommendations on a wide range 

of electronic tax administration issues 

and will provide input into the 

development of the strategic plan for 

electronic tax administration. 

Applicants should describe and 

document their qualifications for 

membership to the Committee. Equal 

opportunity practices will be followed 

in all appointments to the Committee. 

To ensure that the recommendations of 

the Committee have taken into account 

the needs of the diverse groups served 

by the Department, membership will 

include, to the extent practicable, 

individuals, with demonstrated ability 

to represent minorities, women, and 

persons with disabilities. The Secretary 

of Treasury will review the 

recommended candidates and make 

final selections.
