The
Advisory Committee on Tax Exempt
and Government Entities (ACT),
governed by the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, is
an organized public forum for
discussion of relevant employee plans,
exempt organizations, tax-exempt
bonds, and federal, 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 for an additional year. 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
and exempt organizations to nominate
individuals for membership on the ACT.
Nominations should describe and
document the proposed member’s
qualifications for ACT membership,
including the nominee’s past or current
affiliations and dealings with the
particular community or segment of the
community that he or she wishes to
represent (such as, employee plans).
Nominations should also specify the
vacancy for which they wish to be
considered. The Department of the
Treasury seeks a diverse group of
members representing a broad spectrum
of persons experienced in employee
plans and exempt organizations.
Nominees must go through a
clearance process before selection by the
Department of the Treasury. In
accordance with the Department of the
Treasury Directive 21–03, the clearance
process includes, among other things,
pre-appointment and annual tax checks,
and an FBI criminal and subversive
name check, fingerprint check, and
security clearance.
