Notification of issuance of a
certificate of alternative compliance.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard announces
that the U.S. Coast Guard First District
Prevention Department has issued a
certificate of alternative compliance
from the International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72
COLREGS), for the NOAA Research
Vessel FERDINAND R. HASSLER, ON
9478559. We are issuing this notice
because its publication is required by
statute. Due to the construction and
placement of the vessel’s side lights,
NOAA Research Vessel FERDINAND R.
HASSLER cannot fully comply with the
light, shape, or sound signal provisions
of the 72 COLREGS without interfering
with the vessel’s design and
construction. This notification of
issuance of a certificate of alternative
compliance promotes the Coast Guard’s
marine safety mission.
DATES: The Certificate of Alternative
Compliance was issued on March 5,
2018.

Safety Specialist, U.S. Coast Guard;

Kevin.L.Miller2@uscg.mil.
The
United States is signatory to the
International Maritime Organization’s
International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS),
as amended. The special construction or
purpose of some vessels makes them
unable to comply with the light, shape,
or sound signal provisions of the 72
COLREGS. Under statutory law 1 and
Coast Guard regulation,2 the vessel’s
owner, builder, operator, or agent of
those vessels may apply for a certificate
of alternative compliance (COAC).3 For
vessels of special construction, the
cognizant Coast Guard District Office
determines whether the vessel for which
the COAC is sought complies as closely
as possible with the 72 COLREGS, and
decides whether to issue the COAC
which must specify the required
alternative installation. If the Coast
Guard issues a COAC, under the
governing statute 4 and regulations,5 the
Coast Guard must publish notice of this
action. Once issued, a COAC remains
valid until information supplied in the
COAC application or the COAC terms
become inapplicable to the vessel.
The First District Prevention
Department, U.S. Coast Guard, certifies
that the NOAA Research Vessel
FERDINAND R. HASSLER, ON 9478559
is a vessel of special construction or
purpose, and that, with respect to the
position of the vessels side light, it is
not possible to comply fully with the
requirements of the provisions
enumerated in the 72 COLREGS,
without interfering with the normal
operation, construction, or design of the
vessel. The First District Prevention
Department further finds and certifies
that the vessel’s sidelights, located in a
position 15′3″ forward of frame 14 and
5′3″ below the top of the bridge/02 Deck
mounted to the bridge wing, are in the
closet possible compliance with the
applicable provisions of the 72
COLREGS.6
