reference to paragraph (d) is confusing. 

We have also added the word 

‘‘inspection’’ to clarify that the 

requirements we are referring to are the 

inspection requirements, not the 

compliance times. 

No other part of the preamble or 

regulatory information has been 

changed; therefore, only the changed 

portion of the final rule is being 

published in the Federal Register.

[Docket No. FAA–2011–0556; Airspace 

Docket No. 11–ASO–21] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Jacksonville, NC 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Albert J. Ellis Airport, 

Jacksonville, NC, by updating the 

geographic coordinates of the airport to 

aid in the navigation of our National 

Airspace System. The airport 

dimensions and operating procedures 

remain the same. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC. April 

5, 2012. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA received a request from the 

National Aeronautical Navigation 

Services to update the geographic 

coordinates of Albert J. Ellis Airport, 

Jacksonville, NC. This action makes the 

adjustment. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E surface airspace, and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, at Albert J. 

Ellis Airport, Jacksonville, NC. The 

geographic coordinates of the airport are 

adjusted to be in concert with the FAA 

aeronautical database. Accordingly, 

since this is an administrative change, 

and does not involve a change in the 

dimensions or operating requirements of 

that airspace, notice and public 

procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 

unnecessary. 

The Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraphs 6002 and 6005, 

respectively of FAA order 7400.9V, 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A. Subpart I, Section 

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of airspace necessary to 

ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

it amends controlled airspace at 

Jacksonville, NC.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

32 CFR Part 706 

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 

(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 USS 

MICHAEL MURPHY (DDG 112) 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: This rule is effective March 5, 

2012 and is applicable beginning 

February 22, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Jaewon Choi, JAGC, U.S. 

Navy, Admiralty Attorney, (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 number: 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 

USS MICHAEL MURPHY (DDG 112) 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; Rule 21(a), 

pertaining to the arc of visibility of the 

forward masthead light; 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 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 this vessel in a 

manner differently from that prescribed 

herein will adversely affect the vessel’s 

ability to perform its military functions. 

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 706

preamble, amend part 706 of title 32 of
