Internal Revenue Service

Announcement of Open Membership

Application Period for the Information

Reporting Program Advisory

Committee

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS),

Treasury.

SUMMARY: In 1991 the Internal Revenue

Service (IRS) established the

Information Reporting Program

Advisory Committee (IRPAC). The

primary purpose of IRPAC is to provide

an organized public forum for

discussion of relevant information

reporting issues between the officials of

the IRS and representatives of the payer

community. IRPAC offers constructive

observations about current or proposed

policies, programs, and procedures, and

when necessary, suggests ways to

improve the operation of the

Information Reporting Program. IRPAC

is currently comprised of 20

representatives from various segments

of the private sector payer community.

Ten of these appointments to IRPAC

will expire at the end of 1996.

Additional members will be selected for

two-year terms beginning in January

1997. National business, technical, and

professional associations are encouraged

to submit multiple nominees.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IRPAC

reports to the National Director, Service

Center Compliance, who is the

executive responsible for information

reporting and is charged with its

system-wide planning and

improvement. IRPAC is instrumental in

providing advice to enhance the IRP

Program. Increasing participation by

external stakeholders in the planning

and improvement of the tax system will

help achieve the goals of increasing

voluntary compliance and reduction of

burden. IRPAC members are not paid for

their time or services, but consistent

with Federal regulations, they will be

reimbursed for their travel and lodging

expenses to attend two two-day public

meetings each year. IRPAC members are

expected to attend and pay their own

way to four subcommittee meetings

each year; these meetings are generally

held in Washington, DC or New York,

NY.

The IRS is interested in representation

from different areas of the payer

community (e.g., software developers,

small business, real estate, forms

developers, corporate compliance,

property and casualty insurance,

employee plans, etc.). Anyone wishing

to be considered for membership on

IRPAC should so advise the IRS. Please

complete the following application

questionnaire (or a facsimile thereof

prepared on a word processor), and

forward it to Ms. Kate LaBuda of the

Office of Payer Compliance, at the
