DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy
32 CFR Part 706
Certifications and Exemptions Under the International Regulations
for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972; Amendment
AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy is amending its certifications and
exemptions under the International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that the Deputy
Assistant Judge Advocate General (Admiralty) of the Navy, acting
pursuant to authority delegated from the Secretary of the Navy: has
determined that USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN 69) is a vessel of the
Navy which, due to its special construction and purpose, cannot comply
fully with certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS without interfering
with its special functions as a naval aircraft carrier; and has
directed that certain naval ships or classes of ships be removed from
the Tables in the existing Part 706. The intended effect of this rule
is to warn mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS apply.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 27, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Commander K.P. McMahon, JAGC, U.S.
Navy, Admiralty Counsel, Office of the Judge Advocate General, Navy
Department, 200 Stovall Street, Alexandria, VA 22332-2400, Telephone
number: (703) 325-9744.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority granted in 33
U.S.C. 1605, the Department of the Navy amends 32 CFR Part 706. The
Secretary of the Navy previously certified that USS DWIGHT D.
EISENHOWER (CVN 69) is a vessel of the Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully with 72 COLREGS. This amendment
provides notice that the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate General
(Admiralty) of the Navy, under authority delegated by the Secretary of
the Navy, has amended that certification to reflect that certain
navigation lights on USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN 69), previously
certified as not in compliance with 72 COLREGS, now comply with the
applicable 72 COLREGS requirements, to wit: the ship now has a single
forward anchor light, as required by Rule 30(a)(i).
Notice is also provided that the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty) of the Navy has determined that certain vessels and
classes of vessels listed in the existing tables of 32 CFR Part 706 may
be deleted from those tables because certification of those vessels or
classes of vessels is no longer required.
Moreover, it has been determined, in accordance with 32 CFR Parts
296 and 701, that publication of this amendment for public comment
prior to adoption is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public
interest since it is based on technical findings that the placement of
lights on this vessel in a manner differently from that prescribed
herein will adversely affect the vessel's ability to perform its
military functions.
List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 706
Marine safety, Navigation (Water), and Vessels.
Accordingly, 32 CFR Part 706 is amended as follows:
