Prof. Hickman Interviewed by Tax Notes About OIRA Experience

Professor Kristin Hickman was interviewed by Tax Notes for an article regarding her service as Special Adviser to Administrator Neomi Rao of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in Washington, D.C. As Special Adviser, Professor Hickman helped OIRA and Administrator Rao to implement a memorandum of agreement that provided for the first time for OIRA review of tax rules and regulations issued by the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service. Recognizing the contributions of Professor Hickman’s scholarship and service in implementing the memorandum of agreement and shaping tax administrative practices, the article quoted a former Treasury official as saying that the combined efforts of Professor Hickman and Administrator Rao “will leave a legacy that will never entirely go away” notwithstanding their departures from the agency.
