individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment’’ such that neither an
environmental assessment nor an
environmental impact statement is

32 CFR Part 706
Certifications and Exemptions Under
the International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972
Department of the Navy, DoD.
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, as amended (72 COLREGS),
to reflect that the Deputy Assistant
Judge Advocate General
(DAJAG)(Admiralty and Maritime Law)
has determined that USS ZUMWALT
(DDG 1000) 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 January 4,
2016 and is applicable beginning
November 18, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Commander Theron R. Korsak,
(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 ZUMWALT (DDG 1000) 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
6 meters above the hull; Annex I,
paragraph 2(g) pertaining to the
placement of sidelights above the hull of
the vessel; Annex I, paragraph 2(i)(iii),
pertaining to the equally spaced vertical
separation of three task lights; and
Annex I, paragraph 2(k) as described in
Rule 30 (a)(i), pertaining to the vertical
separation between anchor lights, and
the location of the forward anchor light
at a height of not less than 6 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
lights; Annex I, paragraph 3(c),
pertaining to the task lights placed at a
horizontal distance of not less than 2
meters from the fore and aft centerline
of the vessel. 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.

DDG 1000, the ship does not have a traditional mast. To achieve the effect of a ‘‘single, all-around light,’’ multiple sets of task lights are
embedded into each of the four faces of the ship’s superstructure. Except when viewing the ship from dead ahead, dead astern or broadside,
two deckhouse surfaces are visible; consequently, two sets of task lights are visible simultaneously. Because the deckhouse surfaces are sloped,
unless the lights are viewed dead-on, the three task lights do not present as being in a vertical line.
