SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: American
Re-Insurance Company, a Delaware

Inc., effective September 5, 2006. A
Certificate of Authority as an acceptable

companies is published annually as of
July 1, in the Circular, which outlines
details as to underwriting limitations,
areas in which companies are licensed
to transact surety business, and other

SUMMARY: In accordance with the
requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974,
as amended, 5 U.S.C. 522a, the
Department of the Treasury, Internal
Revenue Service gives notice of a newly
proposed system of records entitled
‘‘Treasury/IRS 42.002—Excise
Compliance Programs.’’
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than December 8, 2006. This new
system of records will be effective
December 18, 2006 unless the IRS
receives comments which would result
in a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to
the Office of Governmental Liaison and
Disclosure, Internal Revenue Service,
1111 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20224. Comments will
be made available for inspection and
copying in the Freedom of Information
Act Reading Room (Room 1621), at the
above address. The telephone number
for the Reading Room is (202) 622–5164.

Ricky Stiff, Chief, Excise Tax Program,
1111 Constitution Ave., NW., Room
2016, Washington, DC 20224.
Telephone number (202) 622–5521.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently
the excise tax records in the proposed
system are covered by IRS systems of
records 24.046, 26.019, 42.001, and
42.021. However, the Excise Tax
Compliance Programs have grown and
become so distinct that they merit their
own system of records. The Excise Tax
Program covers a wide range of
commercial business interests to

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 8, 2006 / Notices
include, but not limited to: Highway
Use Tax; Wagering; Communication and
Air Transportation; Fuel Taxes; Retail
(Truck and Trailer); Ship Passenger;
Luxury (Passenger Vehicle) Tax;
Manufacturer Taxes (Coal—Highway
Tires—Gas Guzzler); Foreign Insurance;
Sport Fishing, and Ozone Depleting
Chemicals.
Excise Tax matters generally involve
businesses. However, the requirement to
report activity and submit information,
applies to individuals, as well as
businesses, engaged in activity subject
to Excise Tax. For an example, an
individual, sole proprietor,
independent, or tanker truck owner who
carries fuel, would be required to file
Form 2290 (Highway Use Tax) and
Form 720–CS (Carrier Summary), an
information return on fuel shipments.
This is also applicable when an IRS
Fuel Compliance Officer discovers an
IRC section 6715 dyed diesel penalty, if
the discovery was witnessed by a police
officer participating in the roadside
check. In such an instance, the name of
the police officer may be recorded as
part of the case record.
A proposed rule to exempt this
system of records from provisions of the
Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(2) will be published separately
in the Federal Register.
The report of a new system of records,
as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the
Privacy Act, has been submitted to the
Committee on Government Reform of
the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and
the Office of Management and Budget,
pursuant to Appendix I to OMB Circular
A–130, ‘‘Federal Agency
Responsibilities for Maintaining
Records About Individuals,’’ dated
November 30, 2000.
