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 Fifth District, Chief of Prevention 

Division, U.S. Coast Guard, certifies that 

the RODANTHE, O.N. 1285078 is a 

vessel of special construction or 

purpose, and that, with respect to the 

position of the masthead 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. The design and 

configuration of the pilothouse offset to 

the starboard side of the vessel allows 

an open deck to carry large vehicles. 

There are no structures on the fore and 

aft centerline or left of the centerline on 

which a masthead light or sidelights 

could be affixed. Instead, the masthead 

light is located on the top center of the 

pilothouse and the port sidelight is 

located on the port side of the 

pilothouse, which is offset to the 

starboard side of the vessel. The Fifth 

District, Chief of Prevention Division 

further finds and certifies that the 

masthead light and sidelights are in the 

closet possible compliance with the 

applicable provisions of the 72 

COLREGS.5

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The ESA prohibits certain activities 

with endangered and threatened species 

unless authorized by a Federal permit. 

The ESA and our implementing 

regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

provide for the issuance of such permits 

and require that we invite public 

comment before issuing permits for 

activities involving endangered species. 

A recovery permit issued by us under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA 

authorizes the permittee to conduct 

activities with endangered species for 

scientific purposes that promote 

recovery or for enhancement of 

propagation or survival of the species. 

Our regulations implementing section 

10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found 

at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife 

species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened 

wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for 

endangered plant species, and 50 CFR 

17.72 for threatened plant species.
