DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

32 CFR Part 752

RIN 0703-AA68


Admiralty Claims

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy is updating its Admiralty Claims 
regulations to reflect a change in the Division name and address, to 
update citations to the United States Code provisions, and to remove 
the reference to Commander, Fleet Air Caribbean, a command that has 
been disestablished.

DATES: Effective October 13, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Office of the Judge Advocate General (Code 13), 1322 
Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Commander Gregg A. Crevi, JAGC, U.S. 
Navy, Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate General (Admiralty and Maritime 
Law), Office of the Judge Advocate General (Code 11), 1322 Patterson 
Ave SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066, (202) 685-
5040.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority cited below, the 
Department of the Navy amends 32 CFR part 752. This amendment provides 
notice that the Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Navy (Admiralty 
and Maritime Law) has made administrative corrections to the Admiralty 
Claims regulations. It has been determined that invitation of public 
comment on this amendment would be impracticable and unnecessary, and 
it is therefore not required under the public rulemaking provisions of 
32 CFR part 336 or Secretary of the Navy Instruction 5720.45. 
Interested persons, however, are invited to comment in writing on this 
amendment. All written comments received will be considered in making 
subsequent amendments or revisions of 32 CFR Part 752, or the 
instructions on which they are based. Changes may be initiated on the 
basis of comments received. Written comments should be addressed to 
Commander Gregg A. Crevi, JAGC, U.S. Navy, Deputy Assistant Judge 
Advocate General (Admiralty and Maritime Law), Office of the Judge 
Advocate General (Code 11), 1322 Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000, 
Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066. It has been determined that this 
final rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' as defined in 
Executive Order 12866.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    It has been determined that this rule does not have sufficient 
Federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism 
Assessment. The provisions contained in this rule will have little or 
no direct effect on States or local governments.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for purposes of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. Chapter 6).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose collection of information requirements 
for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 5 
CFR Part 1320).

List of Subjects

    Admiralty, Claims, Salvage.
