Final rule.
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)
of the Navy has determined that USS
Carl Vinson (CVN 70) 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 May 26,
2009 and is applicable beginning May
14, 2009.

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 Carl Vinson (CVN 70)
is a vessel of the Navy which, due to its
special construction and purpose,
cannot fully comply with 72 COLREGS.
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
amended that certification to reflect that
the forward and aft anchor lights on
USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), previously
certified as not in compliance with 72
COLREGS, now comply with the
applicable 72 COLREGS requirements,
to wit: The two forward and the two aft
anchor lights located below the flight
deck were removed and replaced by one
single forward and one single aft anchor
light above the hull and near ship’s foreaft centerline, as required by Rules
21(a), 21(e), 30(a)(i), 30(a)(ii) and Annex
1, Section 2(g).
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Route
36 Bridge has a vertical clearance in the
closed position of 35 feet at mean high
water and 39 feet at mean low water.
The existing drawbridge operation
regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.755(a). The bridge presently opens
on the hour and half hour between 7
a.m. and 8 p.m. from May 15 through
October 15, and on signal from 8 p.m.
to 11 p.m. From 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. the
bridge opens on signal after a four-hour
advance notice is given.
The Shrewsbury River is navigated
predominantly by recreational power
boats and sail boats of various sizes.
Currently only one lane of vehicular
traffic is open northbound on the Route
36 Bridge due to the Highlands Bridge
replacement project.
As a result of the vehicular travel lane
closures traffic congestion has become a
major concern to motorists and local
officials. The nearby Gateway National
Recreation Area, operated by the
National Park Service, has been
particularly impacted on weekends by
traffic delays as a result of the bridge
construction and drawbridge openings
for vessel traffic.
The National Park Service, the New
Jersey Department of Transportation,
and local officials have made various
adjustments to traffic control to help

mitigate the vehicular traffic congestion;
however, the traffic congestion on
weekends in the afternoon continues to
be a major safety concern when
motorists are exiting the Sandy Hook
area and the Gateway National
Recreation Park.
As a result, the National Park Service
and the New Jersey Department of
Transportation requested a temporary
deviation from the drawbridge operation
regulations to help facilitate a balance
between vehicular traffic and marine
traffic during the summer boating
season.
Under this temporary deviation, in
effect from May 23, 2009 through
September 7, 2009, the Route 36 Bridge
at mile 1.8, across the Shrewsbury
River, shall operate as follows:
Monday through Friday, the draw
shall open on signal, from 7 a.m. to 8
p.m., on the hour and half hour only.
From 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. the draw shall
open on signal. From 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
the draw shall open on signal after at
least a four-hour notice is given by
calling the number posted at the bridge.
Saturday, Sunday and holidays, the
draw shall open on signal from 7 a.m.
through noon, on the hour and half
hour. From noon through 8 p.m., the
draw shall open on signal once an hour,
on the hour only. From 8 p.m. to 11
p.m. the draw shall open on signal.
From 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. the draw shall
open on signal after at least a four-hour
advance notice is given by calling the
number posted at the bridge.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the bridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
