Certifications and Exemptions Under 

the International Regulations for 

Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy 

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 (Admiralty and Maritime Law) 

has determined that USS SAMPSON 

(DDG 102) 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: Effective Date: April 11, 2007.

Navy, Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C. 

1605, the Department of the Navy 

amends 32 CFR Part 706. This 

amendment provides notice that the 

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate 

General (Admiralty and Maritime Law), 

under authority delegated by the 

Secretary of the Navy, has certified that 

USS SAMPSON (DDG 102) 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(f)(i), 

pertaining to the placement of the 

masthead light or lights above and clear 

of all other lights and obstructions; 

Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(ii), pertaining to 

the vertical placement of task lights; 

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; and 

Annex I, paragraph 3(c), pertaining to 

placement of task lights not less than 

two meters from the fore and aft 

centerline of the ship in the athwartship 

direction. The Deputy Assistant Judge 

Advocate General (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 different from that prescribed 

herein will adversely affect the vessel’s 

ability to perform its military functions.

Special Local Regulations for Marine 

Events; Western Branch, Elizabeth 

River, Portsmouth, VA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

temporarily changing the regulations for 

the ‘‘Virginia State Hydroplane 

Championship’’ hydroplane races held 

annually on the waters of the Western 

Branch of the Elizabeth River at 

Portsmouth, Virginia. This action is 

necessary because the event will be held 

on April 21 and 22, 2007, instead of on 

April 27 and 28, 2007 as established by 

permanent regulation. This special local 

regulation is intended to restrict vessel 

traffic in portions of the Elizabeth River 

and is necessary to provide for the 

safety of life on navigable waters during 

the event. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m. 

to 6 p.m. on April 21 and 22, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this 

preamble as being available in the 

docket, are part of docket (CGD05–07–

013) and are available for inspection or 

copying at Commander (dpi), Fifth 

Coast Guard District, 431 Crawford 

Street, Portsmouth, Virginia 23704–

5004, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

On March 2, 2007, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

entitled Special Local Regulations for 

Marine Events; Western Branch, 

Elizabeth River, Portsmouth, VA in the 

Federal Register (72 FR 9477). We 

received no letters commenting on the 

proposed rule. No public meeting was 

requested, and none was held. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date 

would be contrary to the public interest, 

since immediate action is needed to 

ensure the safety of the event 

participants, support craft and other 

vessels transiting the event area. 

However, advance notifications will be 

made to affected waterway users via 

marine information broadcasts, area 

newspapers and local radio stations. 

Background and Purpose 

On April 21 and 22, 2007, Virginia 

Boat Racing Association will sponsor 

the ‘‘Virginia State Hydroplane 

Championship’’ hydroplane races on the 

waters of the Western Branch of the 

Elizabeth River at Portsmouth, Virginia. 

The event will consist of approximately 

75 hydroplane powerboats conducting 

high-speed competitive races on the 

Western Branch of the Elizabeth River 

in the vicinity of Portsmouth City Park,
