DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

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 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (DAJAG) (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has determined that USS
JOHN P MURTHA (LPD 26) 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.

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 JOHN P MURTHA (LPD 26) 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 (i)(i), Rule 27 (a)(i) and
(b)(i), pertaining to the placement of allround task lights in a vertical line;
Annex I, paragraph 3(a), pertaining to
DATES:
the horizontal distance between the
forward and after masthead lights; and
Annex I, paragraph 2(k) as described in
Rule 30 (a)(i), pertaining to the vertical
separation between anchor 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.

preamble, the DoN amends part 706 of

Drawbridge Operation Regulation;
Saginaw River, Bay City, MI
Coast Guard, DHS.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is amending
its regulations regarding drawbridge
operations in Saginaw River, Bay City,
MI. In a final rule entitled, ‘‘Drawbridge
Operation Regulation; Saginaw River,
Bay City, MI’’ that appeared in the
Federal Register on April 12, 2012, the
Coast Guard revised the drawbridge
opening schedules for the Saginaw
River and inadvertently excluded the
CSX Railroad Bridge and the Grand
Trunk Western Railroad Bridge. This
document amends the regulations by
adding these two bridges back into the
regulations.
DATES: This rule is effective March 3,
2016.

II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this final
rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with
respect to this rule because the
publishing of the original final rule
[Docket No. USCG–2011–1013] omitted
regulatory language that was published
in the previous rulemaking NPRM, but
was inadvertently left out of the final
rule published on April 12, 2012.
Therefore, it is unnecessary to issue a
rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment because the
public was already provided an
opportunity to comment on these
provisions, had no objections during the
previous comment period, and the
operation of the bridges is consistent
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
with this rule. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3),
the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective in
less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register. The regulation change
has already taken place and the
correction of the regulation will not
affect mariners currently operating on
this waterway. Therefore, a delayed
effective date is unnecessary.
The NPRM for the regulations,
published on December 8, 2011 (76 FR
76637), proposed to revise § 117.647. At
the end of the rule, the following
characters were included in the NPRM:
‘‘* * * * *.’’ These characters
indicated the Coast Guard’s intention to
retain paragraphs (c) and (d) which were
included in the regulations at the time
of the NPRM regarding the CSX Railroad
Bridge located at mile 18.0 over the
Saginaw River and the Grand Trunk
Western Railroad Bridge located at mile
19.2 of the Saginaw River. However, the
final rule, which was published on
April 24, 2012 (77 FR 21864), did not
preserve these paragraphs. The purpose
of this amendment is to ensure that the
regulation accurately reflects the
original intention and inclusion of these
inadvertently omitted paragraphs.
III. Discussion of Final Rule
The purpose of this rule is to correct
33 CFR 117.647 in the Code of Federal
Regulations.
As noted above, this rule restores
language that was previously excluded.
This rule is correcting the regulation in
33 CFR 117.647 by restoring the listing
of drawbridges allowed to remain
closed. The CSX Railroad Bridge located
at mile 18.0 of the Saginaw River and
the Grand Trunk Western Railroad
Bridge located on mile 19.2 of the
Saginaw River will retain their current
operating schedule. This rule will not
affect waterway traffic or land
transportation needs because the status
of the two drawbridges has been in
effect since 1994.
