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, Form 13013, is needed to ascertain the desired skills
set for membership. The TAP Tax Check Waiver, Form 13013-D, must be
signed as a condition of membership. New and continuing members of
IRS Advisory Committees/Councils are required to undergo a tax
compliance check. Once signed by the applicant, the tax check
wavier authorizes the Government Liaison Disclosure analysts to
provide the results to the appropriate IRS officials. Form 14388,
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel Outreach, is a newly created form intended
to be available to members of the Taxpayer Advocacy Panel in the
performance of their duties.
Two new forms were added to
this collection. 14388 and 14388-A are identical. However one form
is to filed and processed in Seattle, the other, in Brooklyn. These
forms request feedback from taxpayers who have encountered any
issues with IRS services or systems. These forms add 53 hours to
the overall burden.
