Title: Internal Revenue Service
Advisory Council Membership
Application.
OMB Number: 1545–1791.
Form Number: 12339.
Abstract: The Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) 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 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. The IRS will also
use the information to perform federal
income tax, background, and
practitioner checks as required of all
members and applicants to the
Committee or Council. Information
provided will be used to qualify or
disqualify individuals to serve as
members.
Current Actions: There are changes to
the existing collection. The Advisory
Committee on Tax Exempt and
Government Entities and the
Information Reporting Program
Advisory Committee ceased operating as
separate IRS advisory committees and
combined with the Internal Revenue
Service Advisory Council. Form 12339–
