Justification of New Form

Justification of New Tax Waiver Form

1. CIRCUMSTANCES NECESSITATING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

The Federal advisory Committee Act requires that committee membership be fairly balanced in terms of points of view represented and the functions to be performed. As a result, members of specific committees often have both the expertise and professional skills that parallel the program responsibilities of their sponsoring agencies. Selection of committee members is made based on the FACA’s requirements and the potential member’s background and qualifications. Therefore, an application is needed to ascertain the desired skills set for membership.

2. USE OF DATA

In order to apply to be a member of the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel, they must submit the Tax Check Waiver. We will use the information in order to perform Federal Income Tax, FBI, and practitioner checks as required of all members and applicants to the Committees.
