Prof. Hickman Credited with Influencing Treasury Regulatory Policy

Prof. Kristin Hickman has been credited with influencing the Treasury Department’s new policy statement revising longstanding tax administrative practices. Issued on Tuesday, the new policy statement announced shifts in how Treasury and the IRS would utilize temporary regulations and subregulatory guidance documents. Articles in Tax Notes and Politico attributed the shifts to Prof. Hickman’s service with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which in the past year has assumed responsibility for reviewing Treasury and IRS regulatory actions.
