c. Visual field impairment value. Your
visual field impairment value
corresponds to the visual field in your
better eye. Using the MD from
acceptable automated static threshold
perimetry, we calculate the visual field
impairment value by dividing the
absolute value of the MD by 22. For
example, if your MD on an HFA 30–2
is ¥16, your visual field impairment
value is: |¥16| ÷ 22 = 0.73.
d. Visual impairment value. Under
102.04B, we calculate the visual
impairment value by adding your visual
acuity impairment value (see
102.00A8b) and your visual field
impairment value (see 102.00A8c). For
example, if your visual acuity
impairment value is 0.48 and your
visual field impairment value is 0.73,
your visual impairment value is: 0.48 +
0.73 = 1.21.
9. What are our requirements for an
acceptable perimeter? We will use
results from automated static threshold
perimetry performed on a perimeter
that:
a. Uses optical projection to generate
the test stimuli.
b. Has an internal normative database
for automatically comparing your
performance with that of the general
population.
c. Has a statistical analysis package
that is able to calculate visual field
indices, particularly mean deviation or
mean defect.
d. Demonstrates the ability to
correctly detect visual field loss and
correctly identify normal visual fields.
e. Demonstrates good test-retest
reliability.
f. Has undergone clinical validation
studies by three or more independent
laboratories with results published in
peer-reviewed ophthalmic journals.

acuity testing using Snellen

testing, clinical findings that fixation

and visual-following behavior are absent
in the better eye, and one of the
following:
1. Abnormal anatomical findings
indicating a visual acuity of 20/200 or
less in the better eye (such as the
presence of Stage III or worse
retinopathy of prematurity despite
surgery, hypoplasia of the optic nerve,
albinism with macular aplasia, or
bilateral optic atrophy); or
2. Abnormal neuroimaging
documenting damage to the cerebral
cortex which would be expected to
prevent the development of a visual
acuity better than 20/200 in the better
eye (such as neuroimaging showing
bilateral encephalomyelitis or bilateral
encephalomalacia); or
3. Abnormal electroretinogram
documenting the presence of Leber’s
congenital amaurosis or achromatopsia
in the better eye; or
4. An absent response to VER testing
in the better eye.
102.03 Contraction of the visual
field in the better eye, with:
A. The widest diameter subtending an
angle around the point of fixation no
greater than 20 degrees.
OR
B. An MD of 22 decibels or greater,
determined by automated static
threshold perimetry that measures the
central 30 degrees of the visual field (see
102.00A6d.).
OR
C. A visual field efficiency of 20
percent or less, determined by kinetic
perimetry (see 102.00A7c).
102.04 Loss of visual efficiency, or
visual impairment, in the better eye:
A. A visual efficiency percentage of
20 or less after best correction (see

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
MINNESOTA (SSN 783) 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 28,
2013 and is applicable beginning March
11, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

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 MINNESOTA (SSN 783) 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, Section 2(f)
(i), pertaining to Virginia class
submarine masthead light location
below the submarine identification
lights; 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; Rule 30 (a) and Rule 21 (e),
pertaining to arc of visibility of the
forward and after anchor lights; Annex
I, paragraph 3(b), pertaining to the
location of the sidelights; and Rule
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

Due to changes in the event times, the
following drawbridges will now be
closed to navigation to accommodate
the 6th annual PPD Beach2Battleship
iron and half iron distance triathlons on
Saturday, October 26, 2013: the Isabel S.
Holmes Bridge from 10:30 a.m. to 6

to 11:30 a.m.
There are no alternate routes for
vessels transiting these sections of the
Northeast Cape Fear River and the
AIWW. The drawbridges will be able to
open in the event of an emergency.
The majority of the vessels that transit
through these bridges during this time
of year are primarily recreational boats.
The Coast Guard will inform all users of
the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the
closure periods for the drawbridges so
that vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impacts caused by the
temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge 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.

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, Section 2(f) (i), pertaining to Virginia class
submarine masthead light location below the submarine identification
lights; 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; Rule 30 (a) and Rule 21 (e), pertaining to arc of

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

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