SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IRSAC 

was authorized under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 

No. 92–463. The first Advisory Group to 

the Commissioner of Internal Revenue— 

or the Commissioner’s Advisory Group 

(‘‘CAG’’)—was established in 1953 as a 

‘‘national policy and/or issue advisory 

committee.’’ Renamed in 1998, the 

Internal Revenue Service Advisory 

Council (IRSAC) reflects the agencywide scope of its focus as an advisory 

body to the entire agency. The IRSAC’s 

primary purpose is to provide an 

organized public forum for senior IRS 

executives and representatives of the 

public to discuss relevant tax 

administration issues. Conveying the 

public’s perception of IRS activities, the 

IRSAC is comprised of individuals who 

bring substantial, disparate experience 

and diverse backgrounds on the 

Council’s activities. Membership is 

balanced to include representation from 

the taxpaying public, the tax 

professional community, small and 

large businesses, state tax 

administration, and the payroll 

community. IRSAC members are 

appointed by the Commissioner of the 

Internal Revenue Service and serve a 

term of three years. There are four 

subcommittees of IRSAC, the Small 

Business/Self Employed (SB/SE); Large 

Mid-Size Business (LMSB); Wage & 

Investment (W&I); and the Office of 

Professional Responsibility (OPR) 

subcommittee. 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, 

these individuals contacted, and 

immediately thereafter, biographical 

information must be completed and 

returned to Ms. Lorenza Wilds in 

National Public Liaison within fifteen 

(15) days. In accordance with 

Department of Treasury Directive 21–03, 

a clearance process including annual tax 

checks, a Federal Bureau of 

Investigation (FBI) fingerprint check, 

and a practitioner check with the Office 

of Professional Responsibility will be 

conducted. 

Equal opportunity practices will be 

followed for all appointments to the 

IRSAC in accordance with the 

Department of Treasury and IRS 

policies. To ensure that the 

recommendations of the IRSAC have 

taken into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by the IRS, 

membership shall include individuals 

who demonstrate the ability to represent 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities.
