[Docket No. USCG–2020–0044]
Certificate of Alternative Compliance
for the M/V PELICAN II
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notification of issuance of a
certificate of alternative compliance.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard announces
that the Chief of Prevention Division,
Seventh District has issued a certificate
of alternative compliance from the
International Regulations for Preventing
Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS),
for the M/V PELICAN II (O.N. 1296903).
We are issuing this notice because its
publication is required by statute. Due
to the construction and placement of the
masthead light, stern light, and
sidelights, M/V PELICAN II 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 the issuance of these
certificates of alternative compliance
promotes the Coast Guard’s marine
safety mission.
DATES: The Certificate of Alternative
Compliance for the M/V PELICAN II
was issued on January 16, 2020.

SUMMARY:
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,
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 Chief of Prevention Division,
Seventh District, U.S. Coast Guard,
certifies that the M/V PELICAN II (O.N.
1296903) is a vessel of special
construction or purpose, and that, with
respect to the positions of the masthead
light, stern light, and sidelights, 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’s car deck. The Chief of
Prevention Division, Seventh District,
U.S. Coast Guard, further finds and
certifies that the lights are configured in
closest possible compliance with the
applicable provisions of the 72
COLREGS.5
This notice is issued under authority
of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33 CFR 81.18.
Dated: January 16, 2020.
