Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 06.07.05
The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) mission demands prodigious information access and sharing, yet privacy concerns -- stoked at federal, state, and international levels -- have ignited a host of challenges to homeland security initiatives, sometimes delaying or even stopping anti-terrorism programs. In "Privacy vs. Information Sharing: The Gathering Storm Over Homeland Security and How Contractors Can Reduce Their Risks" published in the Federal Contracts Report on May 31, 2005 (http://www.crowell.com/pdf/FederalContracts_Privacy.pdf), Crowell & Moring partner David Bodenheimer discusses these privacy perils, their impact on homeland security initiatives, and some ways to reduce these privacy risks.

New Post Appeals Mediation Pilot Program
On October 1, 2025, the IRS Independent Office of Appeals launched a two-year pilot program to make Post Appeals Mediation (PAM) more attractive and accessible to taxpayers. See IRS Announcement 2025-10. The new PAM pilot program offers taxpayers the opportunity to be assigned to a new Appeals team, which is otherwise unconnected to the underlying case, who will represent the original Appeals team in the mediation session. The assignment of the new Appeals team does not begin a new appeals process but rather is intended to help facilitate an expedited and impartial look at the underlying case with the goal of further exploring all potential paths to resolution prior to litigation.
