Comments:
This regulation proposes to establish a list of mandatory removal offenses, however, this runs contrary to the direction taken by Congress and the Administration in H.R. 1528, a bill that would repeal statutory mandatory termination offenses currently applicable to Internal Revenue Service employees. H.R. 1528, drafted by the Administration, has passed the House with strong bipartisan support. If implemented, your concept would have the same negative effect as the IRS legislation targeted for repeal in H.R. 1528. This concept must be dropped.
