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 

MISSISSIPPI (SSN 782) 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 8, 

2012 and is applicable beginning 

February 27, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Jaewon Choi, (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 

USS MISSISSIPPI (SSN 782) 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(a)(i), 

pertaining to the vertical placement of 

the masthead light; Annex I, paragraph 

2(k), pertaining to the vertical 

separation of the anchor lights and 

vertical placement of the forward 

anchor light above the hull; 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 this vessel in a 

manner differently from that prescribed 

herein will adversely affect the vessel’s 

ability to perform its military functions.

For the reasons set forth in the 

preamble, the DoN amends part 706 of
