Effects on the Energy Supply (E.O. 13211) Consultation With Indian Tribes (E.O. 13175) Under the criteria in E.O. 13175, we have evaluated this final rule and determined that it has no substantial effects on Federally recognized Indian Tribes. This final rule is not a significant energy action under the definition in E.O. 13211. A Statement of Energy Effects is not required. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) This final rulemaking does not contain new information collection requirements; therefore, an OMB submission under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) is not required. The PRA provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a collection of information and assigns a control number, you are not required to respond. The revisions in this final rulemaking refer to, but will not change, information collection requirements in 30 CFR part 285. The OMB approved the information collection requirements contained in 30 CFR part 285 under OMB Control Number 1010–0176 (expiration 3/31/2013). Dated: April 28, 2011.

BOEMRE has analyzed this final rule under the criteria of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Department’s regulations implementing NEPA. This final rule meets the criteria set forth at 43 CFR 46.210(i) for a Departmental Categorical Exclusion in that this final rule is ‘‘* * * of an administrative, financial, legal, technical, or procedural nature; or whose environmental effects are too broad, speculative, or conjectural to lend themselves to meaningful analysis * * *.’’ Further, BOEMRE has analyzed this final rule to determine if it meets any of the extraordinary circumstances that will require an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement as set forth in 43 CFR 46.215 and concluded that this final rule, being purely procedural, does not meet any of the criteria for extraordinary circumstances. Data Quality Act In developing this final rule, BOEMRE did not conduct or use a study, experiment, or survey requiring peer review under the Data Quality Act (Pub. L. 106–554, app. C § 515, 114 Stat. 2763, 2763A–153–154).

ACTION: In the Federal Register of April 21, 2011, the Department of the Navy (DoN) published a final rule concerning certifications and exemptions under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS). That document contained incorrect information concerning side lights arc of visibility; rule 21(b). This correcting amendment corrects that information. SUMMARY: DATES: Effective Date: May 16, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C. 1605, the DoN amends 32 CFR Part 706. This amendment provides notice that the DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime Law), under authority delegated by the Secretary of the Navy, has certified that USS MICHIGAN (SSBN 727) and USS Georgia (SSBN 729) are vessels of the Navy which, due to their special construction and purpose, cannot fully comply with specific provisions of 72 COLREGS without interfering with their special function as naval ships. The vessels have been converted from SSBN’s to SSGN’s and this amendment will edit the classification of the vessels to accurately reflect their new designation as SSGN’s. This amendment does not change the vessels’ previously noted deviations from 72 COLREGS. The DAJAG (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 previous and unchanged technical findings that the placement of lights on these vessels in a manner differently from that prescribed herein will adversely affect the vessel’s ability to perform its military functions. Furthermore, this amendment merely changes the classification of these vessels and does not reflect any changes to the placement of lights on any of these vessels.

32 CFR Part 706


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

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of April 21, 2011, the Department of 
the Navy (DoN) published a final rule concerning certifications and 
exemptions under the International Regulations for Preventing 
Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS). That document contained incorrect 
information concerning side lights arc of visibility; rule 21(b). This 
correcting amendment corrects that information.

DATES: Effective Date: May 16, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Jaewon Choi, JAGC, U.S. 
Navy, Admiralty Attorney, (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 DoN amends 32 CFR Part 706.
    This amendment provides notice that the DAJAG (Admiralty and 
Maritime Law), under authority delegated by the Secretary of the Navy, 
has certified that USS MICHIGAN (SSBN 727) and USS Georgia (SSBN 729) 
are vessels of the Navy which, due to their special construction and 
purpose, cannot fully comply with specific provisions of 72 COLREGS 
without interfering with their special function as naval ships. The 
vessels have been converted from SSBN's to SSGN's and this amendment 
will edit the classification of the vessels to accurately reflect their 
new designation as SSGN's. This amendment does not change the vessels' 
previously noted deviations from 72 COLREGS. The DAJAG (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 previous and unchanged technical findings 
that the placement of lights on these vessels in a manner differently 
from that prescribed herein will adversely affect the vessel's ability 
to perform its military functions. Furthermore, this amendment merely 
changes the classification of these vessels and does not reflect any 
changes to the placement of lights on any of these vessels.
