SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: American
Re-Insurance Company, a Delaware
corporation, has formally changed its

Inc., effective September 5, 2006. A
Certificate of Authority as an acceptable
surety on Federal bonds is hereby
issued under 31 U.S.C. 9305 to Munich
Reinsurance American, Inc.,
Wilmington, Delaware. This new
Certificate replaces the Certificate of
Authority issued to this company under
its former name. The underwriting

remains unchanged until June 30, 2007.
Federal bond-approving officers should
annotate their reference copies of the
Treasury Department Circular 570
(‘‘Circular’’), 2006 Revision, to reflect
this change.
Certificates of Authority expire on
June 30th each year, unless revoked
prior to that date. The Certificates are
subject to subsequent annual renewal as
long as the company remains qualified
(see 31 CFR part 223). A list of qualified
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
information.
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

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.,

1111 Constitution Ave., NW., Room
2016, Washington, DC 20224.

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
