ACTION: Final rule.

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) of the 
Navy has determined that USS LOUISVILLE (SSN 724) 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 function as a naval ship. The intended effect of this 
rule is to warn mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS apply.

DATES: This rule is effective December 1, 2008 and is applicable 
beginning 19 November 2008.

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) of the Navy, under 
authority delegated by the Secretary of the Navy, has certified that 
USS LOUISVILLE (SSN 724) is a vessel of the Navy which, due to its 
special construction and purpose, cannot comply fully with the 
following specific provisions of 72 COLREGS without interfering with 
its special function as a naval ship: Rule 21(a) pertaining to the 
location of the masthead lights over the fore and aft centerline of the 
ship. 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.

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.
