Simon Blvd./Seabrook) bridge across the IHNC, mile 4.6, both at New Orleans, LA. This deviation will test changes to the drawbridge operation schedule to determine whether a permanent change to the schedule is needed. These changes would allow for the safe navigation of vessels while reflecting the low volume of vessel traffic through the bridges thereby increasing efficiency of operations. The changes will allow the bridges to operate in a manner that will align the two operating schedules so the bridge owner will be able to use the same bridge crew personnel to operate both bridges with little to no affect on navigation through the bridges.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

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.

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

SUMMARY: 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 AMERICA (LHA 6) 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 October 22, 2013 and is applicable
beginning September 19, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Jocelyn Loftus-Williams,
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 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 AMERICA (LHA 6) 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 3(a)
pertaining to the horizontal distance between the forward and aft
masthead lights; Rule 21(a) pertaining to placement of masthead lights
over the fore and aft centerline of the vessel; Annex I, paragraph 2(g)
pertaining to the placement of sidelights above the hull of the vessel;
and Annex I paragraph 3(b) pertaining to the location of fixture of
side lights. 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
