Substitute information provided in accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10-K:

Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB: Significant Obligors of Pool Assets (Financial Information).
 
The primary asset of Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust, a Delaware statutory trust formed on September 12, 2000 (the "issuance trust") -- and its primary source of funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the notes - is a collateral certificate issued by Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I (the "master trust") to the issuance trust. The collateral certificate represents an undivided interest in the assets of the master trust. The master trust's assets consist primarily of credit card receivables arising in a portfolio of revolving credit card accounts. The master trust, therefore, may be considered a significant obligor in relation to the issuance trust. Pursuant to Instruction 3.b. to Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB, the information required by Instruction J to Form 10-K in respect of the master trust has been disclosed in this report on Form 10-K in lieu of the information otherwise contemplated by Item 1112(b).
 
The pool assets held by the master trust do not include any significant obligors.
 
Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB: Credit enhancement and other support, except for certain derivatives instruments (financial information).
 
Based on the standards set forth in Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.
 
Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB: Certain derivatives instruments (financial information).
 
Based on the standards set forth in Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.
 
Item 1117 of Regulation AB: Legal proceedings.

Citibank (South Dakota), some of its affiliates as well as Visa U.S.A. Inc., Visa International Service Association, MasterCard International Incorporated and other banks are defendants in a consolidated class action lawsuit (IN RE CURRENCY CONVERSION FEE ANTITRUST LITIGATION) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief. The action, brought on behalf of certain United States holders of VISA, MasterCard and Diners Club branded general purpose credit cards who used those cards since March 1, 1997 for foreign currency transactions, asserts,

3


among other things, claims for alleged violations of (i) Section 1 of the Sherman Act, (ii) the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA), and (iii) as to Citibank (South Dakota), the South Dakota Deceptive Trade Practices Act. On October 15, 2004, the District Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification of their Sherman Act and TILA claims but denied the motion as to the South Dakota Deceptive Trade Practices Act claim against Citibank (South Dakota). On March 9, 2005, the District Court granted in part and denied in part defendants’ motions for reconsideration of certain aspects of the October 15, 2004 rulings. Among other things, the District Court narrowed the antitrust classes to certain VISA-branded or MasterCard-branded cardholders of Citibank (South Dakota) and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. On December 7, 2005, the District Court certified a Diners Club damages subclass, as well as Diners' antitrust and TILA injunctive relief subclasses. In July 2006, without admitting any liability, all defendants, including the Citigroup defendants, agreed to settle the IN RE CURRENCY CONVERSION FEE ANTITRUST LITIGATION for a total of $336 million, subject to court approval. The Citigroup defendants’ share of the settlement, which has been paid into an escrow account, was covered by existing reserves.

Substitute information provided in accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10-K:

Item 1119 of Regulation AB: Affiliations and certain relationships and related transactions.

Information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.
 
Item 1122 of Regulation AB: Compliance with applicable servicing criteria.

Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, Citibank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas have been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust and Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I. Each of Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, for itself and on behalf of its affiliate Citibank, N.A., and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has delivered a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such party (each, an "Assessment Report") as of, and for the twelve months ended, December 31, 2006, which Assessment Reports are attached as exhibits 33.1 and 33.2, respectively, to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of Citibank (South Dakota), National Association and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has provided an attestation report (each, an "Attestation Report") by KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, regarding its related Assessment Report. The Attestation Reports are attached as exhibits 34.1 and 34.2, respectively, to this Form 10-K. No Assessment Report or related Attestation Report has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria identified in such Assessment Report as applicable to the related servicing participant.

Recent guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") staff permits a servicing participant to elect to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to a third party, if that third party performs specific and limited, or scripted activities that address all or a portion of the servicing criteria applicable to such servicing participant. In these cases, the servicing participant has instituted policies and procedures to monitor whether such third party's activities comply in all material respects with the applicable servicing criteria. No Assessment Report or related Attestation Report has identified any material deficiency in such servicing participant's policies and procedures to monitor compliance by any such third party.

5



Regulations of the SEC require that a servicing participant perform a "platform" level assessment for purposes of assessing servicing compliance. This means that the transactions covered in a report on an assessment of compliance should include asset-backed securities transactions involving such servicing participant that are backed by the same asset type. More recent guidance from the SEC staff identifies additional parameters which a servicing participant may apply to define and further limit its platform. For example, a servicing participant may define its platform to include only transactions that were completed on or after January 1, 2006 and that were registered with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. Each servicing participant is responsible for defining its own platform, and each platform will naturally differ based on various factors, including the servicing participant's business model, the transactions in which it is involved and the range of activities performed in those transactions.

The platform defined by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in its Assessment Report attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K includes transactions in addition to those conducted by Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust, and the range of activities performed by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in those other transactions is broader than the range of activities it performs in the Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust transactions. Accordingly, the servicing criteria addressed by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in its Assessment Report include criteria in addition to the criterion applicable specifically to the Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust transactions.

 
Item 1123 of Regulation AB: Servicer Compliance Statement.

Citibank (South Dakota), National Association has been identified by the registrant as the sole servicer with respect to the pool assets held by each of Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust and Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I. Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, has provided a statement of compliance relating to its servicing activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2006, which has been signed by an authorized officer of Citibank (South Dakota), National Association, and is attached hereto as exhibit 35.1.
