     6  ant to this section on the latest completed assessment roll an  applica-
     7  tion  form and a notice that such application must be filed on or before
     8  the taxable status date and be approved in order for  the  exemption  to
     9  continue  to  be  granted.  The assessor shall mail a second copy of the
