Act, Pub. L. 92-463, is an organized public forum for discussion of
relevant employee plans, exempt organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and
state, local, and Indian tribal government issues between officials of
the IRS and representatives of the above communities. The ACT also
enables the IRS to receive regular input with respect to the
development and implementation of IRS policy concerning these
communities. ACT members present the interested public's observations
about current or proposed IRS policies, programs, and procedures, as
well as suggest improvements.
ACT members shall be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and
shall serve for two-year terms. Terms can be extended in one-year
increments, not to exceed two years. ACT members will not be paid for
their time or services. ACT members will be reimbursed for their
travel-related expenses to attend working sessions and public meetings,
in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 5703.
The Secretary of the Treasury invites those individuals,
organizations, and groups affiliated with employee plans, exempt
organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and state, local or Indian tribal
governments, to nominate individuals for membership on the ACT.
Nominations should describe and document the proposed member's
qualifications for membership on the ACT. Nominations should also
specify the vacancy for which they wish to be considered. The Secretary
seeks a diverse group of members representing a broad spectrum of
persons experienced in employee plans, exempt organizations, tax-exempt
bonds, and state, local or Indian tribal governments.
Nominees must go through a clearance process before selection by
the Secretary of the Treasury. In accordance with Department of the
Treasury Directive 21-03, the clearance process includes, among other
things, pre-appointment and annual tax checks, and a Federal Bureau of
Investigation criminal and subversive name check and security
clearance.
