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.
The Department of the Navy
(DoN) 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 (DAJAG) (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has determined that USS
MISSISSIPPI (SSN 782) 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 March 8,
2012 and is applicable beginning
February 27, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant Jaewon Choi, (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 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 MISSISSIPPI (SSN 782) 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(a)(i),
pertaining to the vertical placement of
the masthead light; Annex I, paragraph
2(k), pertaining to the vertical
separation of the anchor lights and
vertical placement of the forward
anchor light above the hull; Annex I,
paragraph 3(b), pertaining to the
location of the sidelights; and Rule
SUMMARY:
21(c), pertaining to the location and arc
of visibility of the sternlight. 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 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.
List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 706

Vessels.
For the reasons set forth in the
preamble, the DoN amends part 706 of
