This document contains final
regulations that amend the regulations relating to the public
disclosure requirements described in section 6104(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code. These final regulations implement changes
made by the Tax and Trade Relief Extension Act of 1998, which
extended to private foundations the same rules regarding public
disclosure of annual information returns that apply to other
tax-exempt organizations. These final regulations provide guidance
for private foundations required to make copies of applications for
recognition of exemption and annual information returns available
for public inspection and to comply with requests for copies of
those documents.
