SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee Membership 
Application.
    OMB Number: 1545-2231.
    Form Number: Form 13768.
    Abstract: The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act 
of 1998 (RRA 98) authorized the creation of the Electronic Tax 
Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC). ETAAC has a primary duty of 
providing input to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on its strategic 
plan for electronic tax administration. Accordingly, ETAAC's 
responsibilities involve researching, analyzing and making 
recommendations on a wide range of electronic tax administration 
issues. ETAAC members convey the public's perception of the IRS 
electronic tax administration activities, offer constructive 
observations about current or proposed policies, programs, and 
procedures, and suggest improvements.
    Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden 
previously approved by OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 500.
    The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of 
information covered by this notice:
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of 
information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records 
relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as 
their contents may become material in the administration of any 
internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information 
are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited 
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.

    Approved: November 12, 2015.
