relevant employee plans, exempt organizations, tax-exempt bonds, and

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. The Secretary of the 
Treasury will appoint ACT members, who will serve three-year terms. 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.
