SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the DoN amends 32 CFR part 706.
This amendment provides notice that
the DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime
Law), under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
USS LITTLE ROCK (LCS 9) is a vessel
of the Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with the following specific
provisions of 72 COLREGS without
interfering with its special function as a
naval ship: Annex I paragraph 2(a)(i),
pertaining to the height of the forward
masthead light above the hull; Annex I,
paragraph 3(a), pertaining to the
location of the forward masthead light
in the forward quarter of the ship, and
the horizontal distance between the
forward and after masthead light. The

DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime Law)
has also certified that the lights
involved are located in closest possible
compliance with the applicable 72
COLREGS requirements.
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.

The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Rhode Island.
This SIP revision includes fifteen

Jkt 238001
revised Rhode Island Air Pollution
Control Regulations. These regulations
have been previously approved into the
Rhode Island SIP and the revisions to
these regulations currently being
approved are mainly administrative in
nature, but also include technical
corrections and a few substantive
changes to several of the rules. In
addition, EPA is promulgating a
correction to the Rhode Island SIP to
remove Rhode Island’s odor regulation
because it was previously erroneously
approved into the SIP. The intended
effect of this action is to approve Rhode
Island’s fifteen revised regulations into
the Rhode Island SIP and to correct the
Rhode Island SIP by removing Rhode
Island’s odor regulation. This action is
being taken in accordance with the
Clean Air Act.
This direct final rule will be
effective September 20, 2016, unless
EPA receives adverse comments by
August 22, 2016. If adverse comments
are received, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the
Federal Register informing the public
that the rule will not take effect.
