Final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: 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) of the DoN has determined that USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (CVN 75) 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 July 5, 2012 and is applicable beginning June 25, 2012.

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate General (DAJAG) (Admiralty and Maritime
Law) of the DoN has determined that USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (CVN 75) 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 July 5, 2012 and is applicable beginning

This amendment provides notice that the DAJAG (Admiralty and

paragraph 3(a), pertaining to the placement of the forward masthead
light in the forward quarter of the ship; Annex I, paragraph 2(g),

Moreover, it has been determined, in accordance with 32 CFR parts
