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 MITSCHER (DDG 57) 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: May 26, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Commander Gregg A.

ACTION: Temporary final rule. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is temporarily changing the regulations that govern the operation of the U.S. 70 Bridge across Beaufort (Gallants) Channel, mile 0.1, at Beaufort, NC. The rule allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from midnight on June 30, 2006, until and including 9 p.m. on July 5, 2006, to facilitate the Pepsi America Sail 2006 event. DATES: This rule is effective from midnight on June 30, 2006 to 9 p.m. on July 5, 2006. ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:58 Jun 23, 2006 Jkt 208001 We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing an NPRM. This rule is necessary due to the high volume of pedestrians (approximately 400,000) that are expected to attend this event and as such it has been coordinated with local marinas and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). We believe that it is not necessary to draft or publish an NPRM in advance of the requested start date for this bridge closure due to the availability of an alternate maritime route. The bridge closure is also a necessary measure to ensure public safety by allowing for the orderly movement of vehicular traffic before, PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 during and after the Pepsi America Sail 2006 event. Good Cause for Making Rule Effective in Less Than 30 Days Under 5 U.S.C. 533(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective in less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. A 30-day delayed effective date is unnecessary due to the availability of an alternate local route for mariners, through Morehead City on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, which is the result of coordination with local marine facilities. Good cause also exists for making this rule effective in less than thirty days to ensure the public interest. The event is scheduled for June 30, 2006, until and including July 5, 2006 and immediate action is necessary to ensure public safety and provide for the orderly movement of participants and vehicular traffic during the Pepsi America Sail 2006 event. Background and Purpose In the closed-to-navigation position, the U.S. 70 Bridge, at mile 0.1, across Beaufort (Gallants) Channel, has a vertical clearance of approximately 13 feet above mean high water. The existing regulations are outlined at 33 CFR 117.822. On behalf of NCDOT, who owns and operates the U.S. 70 Bridge, organizers of the Pepsi America Sail 2006 requested a temporary change to the operating regulations for the U.S. 70 Bridge to facilitate the event.

Certifications and Exemptions Under the International Regulations 
for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972

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 and Maritime Law) has 
determined that USS MITSCHER (DDG 57) 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: May 26, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Commander Gregg A. Cervi, JAGC, U.S.

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 MITSCHER (DDG 57) 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 3(a), pertaining to the horizontal distance between 
the forward and after masthead lights; Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(ii), 
pertaining to the vertical placement of task lights; and Rule 21(a), 
pertaining to the arc of visibility of the forward masthead light. 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. All 
other previously certified deviations from the 72 COLREGS not affected 
by this amendment remain in effect.
    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.
