SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IRS strongly encourages representatives 
from consumer groups with an interest in tax issues to apply.
    Nominations should describe and document the proposed member's 
qualifications for ETAAC membership, including the applicant's 
knowledge of regulations and the applicant's past or current 
affiliations and involvement with the particular tax segment or 
segments of the community that the applicant wishes to represent on the 
committee. Applications will be accepted for current vacancies from 
qualified individuals and from professional and public interest groups 
that wish to have representation on ETAAC. Submissions must include an 
application and resume.
    ETAAC provides continuing input into the development and 
implementation of the IRS organizational strategy for electronic tax 
administration. The ETAAC provides an organized public forum for 
discussion of electronic tax administration issues--such as prevention 
of identity theft-related refund fraud--in support of the overriding 
goal that paperless filing should be the preferred and most convenient 
method of filing tax and information returns. ETAAC members work 
closely with the Security Summit, a joint effort of the IRS, state tax 
administrators and the nation's tax industry, to fight identity theft 
and refund fraud. ETAAC members convey the public's perceptions of IRS

electronic tax administration activities, offer constructive 
observations about current or proposed policies, programs and 
procedures, and suggest improvements.
    This is a volunteer position. Members will serve three-year terms 
on the ETAAC to allow for a rotation in membership and ensure different 
perspectives are represented. Travel expenses within government 
guidelines will be reimbursed. In accordance with Department of 
Treasury Directive 21-03, a clearance process including fingerprints, 
tax checks, a Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal check and a 
practitioner check with the Office of Professional Responsibility will 
be conducted.
    The establishment and operation of the Electronic Tax 
Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) is required by the Internal 
Revenue Service (IRS) Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 (RRA 98), 
title II, section 2001(b)(2). ETAAC follows a charter in accordance 
with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 
U.S.C. 1001-1014 . The ETAAC provides continued input into the 
development and implementation of the IRS's strategy for electronic tax 
administration. The ETAAC will research, analyze, consider, and make 
recommendations on a wide range of electronic tax administration issues 
and will provide input into the development of the strategic plan for 
electronic tax administration. Members will provide an annual report to 
Congress by June 30.
    Applicants must complete the application form, which includes 
describing and documenting the applicant's qualifications for ETAAC 
membership. Applicants must submit a short one or two-page statement 
including recent examples of specific skills and qualifications as they 
relate to: cybersecurity and information security, tax software 
development, tax preparation, payroll and tax financial product 
processing, systems management and improvement, implementation of 
customer service initiatives, consumer advocacy and public 
administration. Examples of critical thinking, strategic planning and 
oral and written communication are desirable.
    An acknowledgement of receipt will be sent to all applicants.
    Equal opportunity practices will be followed in all appointments to 
the ETAAC in accordance with Department of Treasury and IRS policies.
