SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
United States is a 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,
however, specified 72 COLREGS
provisions are not applicable to a vessel
of special construction or purpose if the
Coast Guard determines that the vessel
cannot comply fully with those
requirements without interfering with
the special function of the vessel.1
The owner, builder, operator, or agent
of a special construction or purpose
vessel may apply to the Coast Guard
District Office in which the vessel is
being built or operated for a
determination that compliance with
alternative requirements is justified,2
and the Chief of the Prevention Division
would then issue the applicant a
certificate of alternative compliance
(COAC) if he or she determines that the
vessel cannot comply fully with 72
COLREGS light, shape, and sound signal
provisions without interference with the
vessel’s special function.3 If the Coast
Guard issues a COAC, it must publish
notice of this action in the Federal
Register.4
The First District Prevention
Department, U.S. Coast Guard, certifies
that the Blount Boats Inc., Hull TGI–329
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

from the vessel’s side mounted on the
pilot house) are in the closest possible
compliance with the applicable
