                              Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.
                              
                            
                         
                         
                      
                     We ask for the information on this form to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. If you want your organization
                        to be recognized
                        as tax exempt by the IRS, you are required to give us this information. We need it to determine whether the organization meets
                        the legal requirements
                        for tax-exempt status.
                        
                     
                     The organization is not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction
                        Act unless the form
                        displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a form or its instructions must be retained as long as their
                        contents may become
                        material in the administration of any Internal Revenue law. The rules governing the confidentiality of the Form 1023 application
                        are covered in Code
                        section 6104.
                        
                     
                     The time needed to complete and file these forms will vary depending on individual circumstances. The estimated average times
                        are:
