ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy 

(DoN) 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 (DAJAG) (Admiralty and 

Maritime Law) has determined that 

certain vessels of the VIRGINIA SSN 

Class are vessels of the Navy which, due 

to their special construction and 

purpose, cannot fully comply with 

certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS 

without interfering with their special 

function as a naval ships. The intended 

effect of this rule is to warn mariners in 

waters where 72 COLREGS apply. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 19, 

2018 and is applicable beginning May 

29, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Commander Kyle Fralick, 

(Admiralty and Maritime Law), Office of 

the Judge Advocate General, Department 

of the Navy, 1322 Patterson Ave. SE, 

Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 

20374–5066, telephone 202–685–5040. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

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

1605, the DoN amends 32 CFR part 706. 

This amendment provides notice that 

the DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime 

Law), under authority delegated by the 

Secretary of the Navy, has certified that 

certain vessels of the Virginia SSN Class 

are vessels of the Navy which, due to 

their special construction and purpose, 

cannot fully comply with the following 

specific provisions of 72 COLREGS 

without interfering with their special 

function as a naval ship: Rule 23(a) and 

Annex I, paragraph 2(a)(i), pertaining to 

the vertical placement of the masthead, 

light and Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(i), 

pertaining to the masthead light being 

above and clear of all other lights and 

obstructions; Rule 30 (a), Rule 21(e), and 

Annex I, paragraph 2(k), pertaining to 

the vertical separation of the anchor 

lights, vertical placement of the forward 

anchor light above the hull, and the arc 

of visibility of all around lights; Rule 23 

(a) and Annex I, paragraph 3(b), 

pertaining to the location of the 

sidelights; and Rule 21(c), pertaining to 

the location and arc of visibility of the 

sternlight. The DAJAG (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 these vessels in 

a manner differently from that 

prescribed herein will adversely affect 

these vessel’s ability to perform their 

military functions.
