Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 127 / Wednesday, July 5, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
(c) Absent exceptional circumstances,
as determined by the Commission or its
designee, the Commission will not
entertain a request either to agree to
indemnify or to settle a personal damage
claim before entry of an adverse verdict,
judgment, or monetary award.
(d) When an employee of the Federal
Trade Commission becomes aware that
an action may be or has been filed
against the employee in his or her
individual capacity as a result of
conduct taken within the scope of his or
her employment, the employee shall
immediately notify his or her supervisor
that such an action is pending or
threatened. The supervisor shall
promptly thereafter notify the Office of
the General Counsel. Employees may be
authorized to receive legal
representation by the Department of
Justice in accordance with 28 CFR
50.15.
(e)(1) The employee may, thereafter,
request either:
(i) Indemnification to satisfy a verdict,
judgment or award entered against the
employee; or
(ii) Payment to satisfy the
requirements of a settlement proposal.
(2) The employee shall submit a
written request, with documentation
including copies of the verdict,
judgment, award, or settlement
proposal, as appropriate, to the head of
his or her division or office, who
thereupon shall submit to the General
Counsel, in a timely manner, a
recommended disposition of the
request. The General Counsel may also
seek the views of the Department of
Justice. The failure of an employee to
provide notification under paragraph (d)
of this section or make a request under
this paragraph (e) shall not impair the
agency’s ability to provide
indemnification or payment under this
section if it determines it is appropriate
to do so.
(f) Any amount paid under this
section either to indemnify a Federal
Trade Commission employee or to settle
a personal damage claim shall be
contingent upon the availability of
appropriated funds of the Federal Trade
Commission.
By direction of the Commission.

Secretary.

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
RALPH JOHNSON (DDG 114) 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 July 5, 2017
and is applicable beginning June 23,
2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant Commander Kyle Fralick,
(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 RALPH JOHNSON (DDG 114) 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
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
placement of task lights not less than
two meters from the fore and aft

pertaining to the placement of the
masthead light or lights above and clear
of all other lights and obstructions; and
Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(ii), pertaining to
the vertical placement of task 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

That temporary deviation, from 7 p.m.

owner, California Department of
Transportation, has requested a
modification of the currently published
deviation to extend from 4 a.m. on July
1, 2017 to 4 a.m. on July 15, 2017 in
order to complete the necessary repairs
to the bridge deck.
The Rio Vista Drawbridge, mile 12.8,
across the Sacramento River, has a
vertical clearance of 18 feet above Mean
High Water in the closed-to-navigation
position. In accordance with 33 CFR
117.5, the draw opens on signal.
Navigation on the waterway is
commercial, search and rescue, law
enforcement, and recreational.
The drawspan will require a one hour
advance notice at one specified period:
From 6 p.m. on July 14, 2017 to 4 a.m.
on July 15, 2017. A one hour advance
notice will give enough time for the
contractor to clear away equipment and
workers before the drawspan can safely
open for transiting vessels. Scaffolding
will be installed below the bridge deck
from July 1, 2017 through July 15, 2017,
reducing the vertical clearance by 4 feet,
and will extend from the west tower 48
feet into the navigational channel. This
temporary deviation modification has
been coordinated with the waterway
users. No objections to the proposed
temporary deviation modification were
raised.
