DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

32 CFR Part 706
Certifications and Exemptions Under
the International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972
Department of the Navy, DoD.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
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 JASON
DUNHAM (DDG 109) 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: This rule is effective January 27,
2010 and is applicable beginning
January 14, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant Commander Ted Cook,
(Admiralty and Maritime Law), Office of
the Judge Advocate General, Department
of the Navy, 1322 Patterson Ave., SE.,
Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC
20374–5066, telephone number: 202–
685–5040.
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 JASON DUNHAM (DDG 109) 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(f)(i), pertaining to the
placement of the masthead light or
lights above and clear of all other lights
and obstructions; Annex I, paragraph
2(f)(ii), pertaining to the vertical
placement of task lights; 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 lights; and
Annex I, paragraph 3(c), pertaining to
placement of task lights not less than
two meters from the fore and aft
centerline of the ship in the athwartship
direction. 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.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Postal Service is
amending the Code of Federal
Regulations to increase the maximum
penalty for violations of the rules
concerning conduct on Postal Service
property. The authorized maximum
penalty should allow the courts more
flexibility in determining the
appropriate means of promoting
compliance with the regulation.

Joint Legal Services Center, U.S. Postal
Inspection Service/Office of Inspector
General, (703) 248–2100.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
current rules governing conduct on
Postal Service property establish the
maximum penalty for a violation as a
fine of not more than $50 or
imprisonment of not more than 30 days,
or both. As revised by this notice, the
maximum penalty for a violation will be
increased to a fine of not more than that
allowed under title 18 of the United
States Code or imprisonment of not
more than 30 days, or both.
To promote compliance with the
regulation and to maintain the deterrent
effect, the Postal Service has determined
it is appropriate to increase the
maximum penalty allowed for a
violation of this regulation. The
authorized maximum penalty should
allow the courts more flexibility in
determining the appropriate means of
promoting compliance with the
regulation.
The current regulations have not been
changed for over 30 years. The current
maximum fine does not reflect either
the seriousness of some of the
infractions, nor the effect that inflation
has had over the past 30 years. This
current low monetary penalty provision
gives the court little flexibility in
arriving at a fair and just resolution to

an infraction. The revisions to the
maximum monetary penalty allow for
this flexibility. Further, the revision to
the maximum penalty more accurately
reflects the range of conduct covered by
this regulation.
