The IRSAC serves as an advisory body

public forum for discussion of relevant 

tax administration issues between IRS 

officials and representatives of the 

public. The IRSAC proposes 

enhancements to IRS operations, 

recommends administrative and policy 

changes to improve taxpayer service, 

compliance and tax administration, 

discusses relevant information reporting 

issues, addresses matters concerning 

tax-exempt and government entities, 

and conveys the public’s perception of 

professional standards and best 

practices for tax professionals. 

IRSAC holds approximately four, twoday working sessions and at least one 

public meeting per year. Members are 

not paid for their services; any travel 

expenses are reimbursed within federal 

government guidelines. 

Appointed by the Commissioner of 

Internal Revenue with the concurrence 

of the Secretary of the Treasury, IRSAC 

members will serve three-year terms to 

allow for a rotation in membership 

which ensures that different 

perspectives are represented. In 

accordance with the Department of 

Treasury Directive 21–03, a clearance 

process, including a tax compliance 

check and a practitioner check with the 

IRS Office of Professional 

Responsibility, will be conducted. In 

addition, all applicants deemed ‘‘Best 

Qualified’’ shall undergo a Federal 

Bureau of Investigation fingerprint 

check. 

The IRSAC is authorized under the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public 

Law 92–463. The first Advisory Group 

to the Commissioner of Internal 

Revenue—the Commissioner’s Advisory 

Group—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. 

All applicants will be sent an 

acknowledgment of receipt. 

Equal opportunity practices will be 

followed for all appointments to the 

IRSAC in accordance with the 

Department of Treasury and IRS 

policies. The IRS has special interest in 

assuring that women and men, members 

of all races and national origins, and 

individuals with disabilities have an 

opportunity to serve on advisory 

committees. Therefore, the IRS extends 

particular encouragement to 

nominations from such appropriately 

qualified candidates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Application, 

Evaluation Design Plan, Reports, and 

Recordkeeping for the Social Impact 

Partnerships to Pay for Results Act 

(SIPPRA) Grant Program. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Control Number: 1505–0260. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Description: SIPPRA, enacted 

February 9, 2018, amends Title XX of 

the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1397 

et seq., to provide $100 million in 

funding to implement social impact 

partnership projects’’ (projects) and 

feasibility studies for such projects. 

SIPPRA authorizes the Secretary of the 

Treasury to enter into award agreements 

with state or local governments for 

projects or feasibility studies. Treasury, 

in consultation with other federal 

agencies, administers the SIPPRA grant 

program. 

SIPPRA authorizes Treasury to 

conduct a request for proposals for 

projects, make award determinations, 

and enter into project award 

agreements. Treasury intends to publish 

a Notice of Funding Availability 

(NOFA) seeking applications for 

projects and anticipates that ten or more 

persons will respond to its NOFA 

announcing availability of funding for 

SIPPRA projects. 

Although Treasury is asking 

applicants to use the SF–424 and SF– 

425 families of common forms for their 

applications and reports, Treasury also 

expects to solicit additional detailed 

information from applicants to 

effectively and efficiently assess and 

evaluate whether applications for 

projects comply with statutory 

requirements. This request includes 

only the burden for this additional 

information. The burden for the SF–424 

forms is covered under OMB Control 

Numbers 4040–0004, 4040–0006, 4040– 

0007, 4040–0008, 4040–0009, 4040– 

0010, and 4040–0013. The burden for 

the SF–425 form is covered under OMB 

Control Number 4040–0014. The 

additional information includes the 

following components: 

• SAM.gov registration; 

• Notice of Intent to Apply (optional); 

• Project Narrative, to include an 

Executive Summary; 

• Project Narrative Attachments, to 

include project budget, narrative 

statement addressing partnership 

agreements, an estimate of the value to 

the federal government of the 

interventions being proposed in the 

project, partner qualifications, 

independent evaluator qualifications, 

evaluation design plan, independent 

evaluator contract, outcome valuation 

(for which Treasury’s SIPPRA website 

will provide guidance to assist 

applicants), legal compliance, and 

(optional) additional supporting 

documentation such as a preexisting 

feasibility study; 

• Treasury Office of Civil Rights and 

Diversity Assurances and Certifications, 

Terms and Conditions, and Compliance 

Data; 

• Additional documentation related 

to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act; 

• Copy of application proposing 

privileged or confidential information to 

be redacted; 

• Administrative Reporting, 

including a Quarterly Performance 

Report, Evaluation Progress Reports, 

and Final Evaluation Report; and 

• Records Retention requirements. 

Use of the Data 

The information collected under this 

NOFA: (1) Identifies eligible recipients 

and activities; (2) helps identify which 

applications sufficiently address all 

statutory requirements and which 

proposed projects are the most 

competitive; (3) determines the 

appropriate amount of funding; (4) 

allows evaluation of compliance with 

SIPPRA and Federal laws and policies 

on grants (e.g., Office of Management 

and Budget’s Uniform Administrative 

Requirements, Cost Principles, and 

Audit Requirements for Federal Awards 

2 CFR part 200, (herein OMB Uniform 

Guidance); Title VI of the Civil Rights 

Act); (5) tracks recipients’ progress; and 

(6) collects statutorily mandated reports 

prepared by recipients’ contracted 

independent evaluators. 

• The Notice of Intent is optional; it 

will assist Treasury and the Federal 

Interagency Council on Social Impact 

Partnerships (Interagency Council) in 

estimating the number of applications to 

be received, and thus, enable them to 

conduct intake and evaluation of 

applications as efficiently and 

economically as possible. 

• The application Executive 

Summary will assist Treasury and the 

Interagency Council in streamlining the 

processing of applications and in 

optimizing the eligibility phase of 

application review. The application 

standard forms, Project Narrative, and 

Project Narrative attachment 

components of the grant application are 

intended to provide Treasury with the 

information necessary to properly 

evaluate and assess whether 

applications include statutorily 

mandated information. Additionally, 

certain components of the application, 

in particular the evaluation design plan 

and outcome valuation, will enable the 

Interagency Council to determine 

whether to make statutorily mandated 

certifications regarding the proposed 

projects. 

• SAM.gov registration is required 

under the OMB Uniform Guidance. 

• To comply with the OMB Uniform 

Guidance performance and financial 

monitoring and reporting requirements, 

2 CFR 200.328–200.330, Treasury 

intends to require a quarterly
