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:
ACTION:
Department of the Navy, DoD.
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
JACKSON (LCS 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.
SUMMARY:
This rule is effective November
14, 2014 and is applicable beginning
October 22, 2014.
DATES:
Commander Theron R. Korsak, 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 JACKSON (LCS 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 2 (a)(i),
pertaining to the location of the forward
masthead light at a height not less than
12 meters above the hull; Annex I,
paragraph 3(a), pertaining to the
location of the forward masthead light
in the forward quarter of the ship, and
the horizontal distance between the
forward and after masthead light; Annex
I, paragraph 2(f)(i), pertaining to the
placement of the masthead light or
lights above and clear of all other lights
and obstructions; Annex I, paragraph
3(c), pertaining to the task light’s
horizontal distance from the fore and aft
centerline of the vessel in the
athwartship direction. 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
Marine safety, Navigation (water), and
Vessels.
For the reasons set forth in the
preamble, the DoN amends part 706 of
title 32 of the Code of Federal
Regulations as follows:
