IRPAC - when did this start?

IRPAC (Information Reporting Program Advisory Committee) was established in 1991 as a result of an administrative recommendation contained in the final conference report for the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989.  The recommendation suggested that the IRS consider “the creation of an advisory group of representatives from the payer community and practitioners interested in the Information Reporting Program (IRP) to discuss improvements to the system.”
