DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Internal Revenue Service
Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee (IRPAC);
Nominations
AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Request for nominations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requests applications of
individuals to be considered for selection as members of the
Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee (IRPAC). Nominations
should describe and document the proposed member's qualifications for
IRPAC membership, including the applicant's past or current
affiliations and dealings with the particular tax segment or segments
of the community that he or she wishes to represent on the committee.
In addition to nominations from interested individuals, the IRS is
soliciting nominations from professional and public interest groups
that wish to have representatives on the IRPAC. IRPAC will be comprised
of 19 members. There are eight positions open for calendar year 2017.
It is important that IRPAC continue to represent a diverse taxpayer and
stakeholder base. Accordingly, to maintain membership diversity,
selection is based on the applicant's qualifications as well as the
taxpayer or stakeholder base the applicant represents.

The IRPAC advises the IRS on information reporting issues of mutual
concern to the private sector and the federal government. The committee
works with the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and other IRS
leadership to provide recommendations on a wide range of information
reporting administration issues. Membership is balanced to include
representation from the tax professional community, small and large
businesses, banks, colleges and universities, and industries such as
securities, payroll, finance and software.
DATES: Written nominations must be received on or before June 2, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Nominations should be sent to: Michael Deneroff, IRS
National Public Liaison, CL:NPL:PSRM, Room 7559, 1111 Constitution

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Established in 1991 in response to an
administrative recommendation in the final Conference Report of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, the IRPAC works closely with
the IRS to provide recommendations on a wide range of issues intended
to improve the information reporting program and achieve fairness to
taxpayers. Conveying the public's perceptions of IRS activities to the
Commissioner, the IRPAC is comprised of individuals who bring
substantial, disparate experience and diverse backgrounds to the
Committee's activities.
Each IRPAC member is nominated by the Commissioner with the
concurrence of the Secretary of Treasury to serve a three-year term.
Working groups address policies and administrative issues specific to
information reporting. 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 are
reimbursed within prescribed federal travel limitations.
Receipt of applications will be acknowledged, and all individuals
will be notified when selections have been made. In accordance with
Department of Treasury Directive 21-03, a clearance process including
fingerprints, annual tax checks, a Federal Bureau of Investigation
criminal 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 IRPAC 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 are welcomed for service on advisory committees and,
therefore, extends particular encouragement to nominations from such
appropriately qualified candidates.
