Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 4 / Monday, January 8, 2007 / Notices
Based on information provided by the
AAR, it appears that the ECXX cars are
owned and operated by ECDC
Environmental located in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and the DTTX car is owned by
Trailer Train Company in Chicago,
Illinois.
At this time, FRA is not aware of any
derailments attributed to the center sill
failures on any of these cars. However,
due to the severity and nature of the
cracking and breaks in the center sills of
these flat cars, and the high density
traffic corridors in which the cars
operate, FRA feels compelled to advise
car owners and operating railroads of
the potential for catastrophic failures
and/or derailments involving these cars.
FRA mechanical field inspectors will be
conducting periodic nationwide
inspections of this equipment to
ascertain the magnitude of the car
population and to gather further
information regarding any failures. At
this time, it appears that many of the
above noted cars may have been
overloaded or compacted, which may
have contributed to center sill cracking
and failure. Additional supplements to
this Safety Advisory may follow as
cause of the cracking and remedial
measures are identified.

List of Countries Requiring
Cooperation With an International
Boycott
In order to comply with the mandate
of section 999(a)93) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, the Department
of the Treasury is publishing a current
list of countries which require or may
require participation in, or cooperation
with, an international boycott (within
the meaning of section 999(b)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986).
On the basis of the best information
currently available to the Department of
the Treasury, the following countries
require or may require participation in,
or cooperation with, an international
boycott (within the meaning of section
999(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986): Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab
Emirates, Yemen, Republic of.
Iraq is not included in this list, but its
status with respect to future lists
remains under review by the
Department of the Treasury.

BILLING CODE 4180–25–M
In recognition of the need to ensure
safety, FRA recommends that railroads
and car owners carefully inspect the
center sills of all flat cars used to carry
containers of MSW. FRA further
recommends that any such car found
with a crack or cracks of any size in the
center sill area be immediately bad
ordered and sent to an appropriate shop
for repairs consistent with quality shop
repair.
Failure of car owners and railroads to
voluntarily take action consistent with
the above recommendation may result
in FRA pursuing other corrective
measures to enforce public safety under
its rail safety authority. FRA may
modify Safety Advisory 2006–06, issue
additional safety advisories, or take
other appropriate action necessary to
ensure the highest level of safety on the
nation’s railroads.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Verification of VA Benefits, VA
Form 26–8937.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0406.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Lenders authorized to make
VA-guaranteed home or manufactured
loans on an automatic basis are required
to determine through VA whether any
benefits related debts exist in the
veteran-borrower’s name prior to the
closing of any automatic loan. Lenders
cannot close any proposed automatic
loan until evidence is received from VA
stating that there is no debt, or if a debt
exists, or the veteran has agreed on an
acceptable repayment plan, or payments
under a plan already in effect are
current. VA Form 26–8937 is used to
assist lenders and VA in the completion
of debt checks in a uniform manner. The
form restricts information requested to
only that is needed for the debt check
and to eliminate unlimited versions of
lender-designed forms. The form also
informs the lender whether or not the
veteran is exempt from paying the
funding fee, which must be collected on
all VA home loans unless the veteran is
receiving service-connected disability
compensation.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
