If there is a VIN number associated with the chassis, then the 10th digit denotes the year...
10th character- Identifies the model year. For example: 1988(J), 1989(K), 1990(L), 1991(M), 1992(N), 1993(P), 1994(R), 1995(S), 1996(T),
1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y), 2001(1), 2002(2), 2003(3), etc.

Probably does not require ULSD. However, to elliminate any doubt call Cummins and give them your engine serial number and they will tell you for sure.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Since the first of the year I haven't found a station that has LSD. Every station I've been in only has ULSD. Have you seen any stations with LSD?
Your build date tells you that it's an 06 engine.

Engines that require ULSD did not strat manufacture until 1-12007 except for some minor numbers for manufacturers to build prototypes, etc. fereral regualtions require that a notice be affixed toi the dash of a vehicle that requires ULSD fuel. Your engine is undoubtedly does not require ULSD.

Not a trick question. Most motorhome manufacturers stockpiled 2006 engines to delay as long as possible building coaches with 2007 engines because of the possible lack of universal availability of the new diesel. Additionally, 2007 coaches started showing up at dealerships and rallies long before the end of the year. Conceiveably, we could be within a few months of model year 2008 before some makes/models have 2007 engines.

Until a few weeks ago, not one Flying J in the Eastern U.S. with the exception of two stations had ULSD. FJ's in the west had ULSD. If your engine requires ULSD, check the pump for a sticker, usually a green sticker, though Hess stations are using a black and white sticker.
There is a grace period of stations in the U.S. to changeover until 2010, so caution is advised.
In Canada, my understanding is that all stations must have ULSD as of Jan 1/ 07.
From what we are seeing, the 07 engines in motorhomes are just now making an appearance. It seems the price premium for the 07 engines is substantial.
