-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In the Federal Register notice that was originally published

is being replaced with: For these purposes, ``international taxpayers''
are broadly defined to include U.S. citizens working, living, or doing
business abroad. All other meeting details remain unchanged.
DATES: February 14, 2022, through April 8, 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Billups at 214-413-6523 (not a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
In the Federal Register of February 14, 2022, in FR Doc. 2022-
03024, on page 8340, the language describing International Taxpayers is
being replaced to read:
Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Treasury and the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are inviting individuals to help improve
the nation's tax agency by applying to be members of the Taxpayer
Advocacy Panel (TAP). The mission of the TAP is to listen to taxpayers,
identify issues that affect taxpayers, and make suggestions for
improving IRS service and customer satisfaction. The TAP serves as an
advisory body to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, and the National Taxpayer Advocate. TAP members will
participate in subcommittees that channel their feedback to the IRS
through the Panel's parent committee.
The IRS is seeking applicants who have an interest in good
government, a personal commitment to volunteer approximately 200 to 300
hours a year, and a desire to help improve IRS customer service. As a
federal advisory committee, TAP is required to have a fairly balanced
membership in terms of the points of view represented. Thus, TAP
membership represents a cross-section of the taxpaying public with at
least one member from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico, in addition to one member representing international taxpayers.
For these purposes, ``international taxpayers'' are broadly defined to
include U.S. citizens working, living, or doing business abroad.
Potential candidates must be U.S. citizens, not a current employee of
any Bureau of the Treasury Department or have worked for any Bureau of
the Treasury Department within the three years of December 1 of the
current year and must pass a federal tax compliance check and a Federal
Bureau of Investigation criminal background investigation. Applicants
who practice before the IRS must be in good standing with the IRS
(meaning not currently under suspension or disbarment). Federally
registered lobbyists cannot be members of the TAP. The IRS is seeking
candidates in the following locations: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North
Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, New York,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. TAP members
are a diverse group of citizens who represent the interests of
taxpayers, from their respective geographic locations as well as
taxpayers overall. Members provide feedback from a taxpayer's
perspective on ways to improve IRS customer service and administration
of the federal tax system, by identifying grassroots taxpayer issues.
Members should have good communication skills and be able to speak to
taxpayers about TAP and its activities, while clearly distinguishing
between TAP positions and their personal viewpoints.
Interested applicants should visit the TAP website at
<a href="http://www.improveirs.org">www.improveirs.org</a> for more information about TAP. Applications may be
submitted online at <a href="http://www.usajobs.gov">www.usajobs.gov</a>. For questions about TAP
membership, call the TAP toll-free number, 1-888-912-1227 and select
prompt 5. Callers who are outside of the U.S. should call 214-413-6523
(not a toll-free call).
The opening date for submitting applications is February 14, 2022,
and the deadline for submitting applications is April 8, 2022.
Interviews will be held. The Department of the Treasury will review the
recommended candidates and make final selections. New TAP members will
serve a three-year term starting in December 2022. (Note: Highly ranked
applicants not selected as members may be placed on a roster of
alternates who will be eligible to fill future vacancies that may occur
on the Panel.)
Questions regarding the selection of TAP members may be directed to
Lisa Billups, Taxpayer Advocacy Panel, Internal Revenue Service, 1111
Constitution Avenue NW, TA:TAP Room 1509, Washington, DC 20224, or 214-
413-6523 (not a toll-free call).
Dated: February 17, 2022.
Kevin Brown,
Acting Director, Taxpayer Advocacy Panel.
