Yes, the decree no 5920 of 2006-10-03 is now published:
http://www.in.gov.br/materias/xml/do/secao1/2345913.xml
(It is an XML file, but will display as a regular web page in some
browsers).
New start date 2006-11-05 00:00 and new end date 2007-02-25 00:00. It
seems that the same states will observe DST as last year.
Best regards,
Steffen
