  2. The PSP Territory Manager works closely with the Area Director to provide feedback related to the Examination Plan, Area staffing, and the Area accomplishments.

  3. The Area PSP coordinates many types of national programs and serves as a liaison between the Headquarters Office and the Area Examination staff.

  4. This section addresses the planning and monitoring of the inventory of tax returns for examination.
