Background
The Foreign Assets Control
Regulations (the ‘‘FACR’’), 31 CFR part
500, which are authorized under the
Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C.
App. 1–44, imposed economic sanctions
against the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea (‘‘North Korea’’)
beginning in 1950. Since that time,
those sanctions have been modified on
a number of occasions, most recently to
ease economic sanctions against North
Korea in order to improve overall
relations and to encourage North Korea
to continue to refrain from testing longrange missiles. Consistent with U.S.
foreign policy interests, the Office of
Foreign Assets Control (‘‘OFAC’’), on
June 19, 2000, amended the FACR, 31
CFR part 500, to add § 500.586,
authorizing transactions concerning
certain North Korean property.
Subject to the limitations in paragraph
(b) of § 500.586, paragraph (a)
authorized new, i.e., post-June 19, 2000,
transactions in which North Korea has
a property interest. Paragraph (b) set
forth four limitations on the new
authorization. Today OFAC is amending
the FACR by adding a new provision,
effective May 8, 2006, to further limit
the authorization provided by § 500.586.
This new provision, § 500.586(b)(5),
prohibits United States persons from
owning, leasing, operating or insuring
any vessel flagged by North Korea.
Because the term United States person
is a new term not previously used or
defined in the FACR, a definition of the
term is provided for purposes of
paragraph (b)(5). The effective date of
this amendment has been delayed to
provide time for United States persons
to re-flag any vessels currently flagged
by North Korea.
Because the Regulations involve a
foreign affairs function, the provisions
of Executive Order 12866 and the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) (the ‘‘APA’’) requiring notice of
proposed rulemaking, opportunity for
public participation, and delay in
effective date are inapplicable. Because
no notice of proposed rulemaking is
required for this rule, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–602) does
not apply.
prior notice and public comment. The
collection of information related to 31
part 500 is contained in 31 CFR part 501
(the ‘‘Reporting, Procedures and
Penalties Regulations’’). Pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3507), those collections of
information have been approved by the
Office of Management and Budget under
control number 1505–0164. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless the
collection of information displays a
valid control number.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
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 and Maritime Law)
has determined that USS TEXAS (SSN
775) is a vessel of the Navy which, due
to its special construction and purpose,
cannot fully comply with certain
provisions of the 72 COLREGS without
interfering with its special function as a
naval ship. The intended effect of this
rule is to warn mariners in waters where
72 COLREGS apply.
DATES: Effective Date: March 20, 2006.

Navy, Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the Department of the Navy
amends 32 CFR part 706. This
amendment provides notice that the
Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (Admiralty and Maritime Law),
under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
USS TEXAS (SSN 775) 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),

Annex I, paragraph 2(k), pertaining to
the height and relative positions of the
anchor lights; Annex I, paragraph 3(b),
pertaining to the location of the
sidelights; and Rule 21(c), pertaining to
the location and arc of visibility of the
sternlight. The Deputy Assistant Judge
Advocate General (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.
