32 CFR Part 706

Certifications and Exemptions Under

the International Regulations for

Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972

Amendment

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy

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 (Admiralty) of the Navy has

determined that USS STOUT (DDG 55)

is a vessel of the Navy which, due to its

special construction and purpose,

cannot comply fully with certain

provisions of the 72 COLREGS without
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 104 / Monday, June 1, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 29613

interfering with its special functions as

a naval ship. The intended effect of this

rule is to warn mariners in waters where

72 COLREGS apply.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 8, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Captain R. R. Pixa, JAGC, U.S. Navy

Advocate General, Navy, Department,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

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

1605, the Department of the Navy

amends 32 CFR Part 706. This

amendment provides notice that the

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) of the Navy, under

authority delegated by the Secretary of

the Navy, has certified that USS STOUT

(DDG 55) is a vessel of the Navy which,

due to its special construction and

purpose, cannot comply fully with the

following specific provision of 72

COLREGS without interfering with its

special function as a naval ship: Annex

I, paragraph 3(a), pertaining to the

location of the forward masthead light

in the forward quarter of the vessel, the

placement of the after masthead light,

and the horizontal distance between the

forward and after masthead lights. The

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) 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

Marine safety, Navigation (water), and

Vessels.

Accordingly, 32 CFR part 706 is

amended as follows:

PART 706—[AMENDED]

1. The authority citation for 32 CFR

part 706 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 1605.

2. Table Five of § 706.2 is amended by

revising the entry for the USS STOUT

to read as follows:

the Navy under Executive Order 11964 and

BILLING CODE 3810–FF–P

PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION

35 CFR Part 133

RIN 3207–AA–46

Tolls for Use of Canal

AGENCY: Panama Canal Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Panama Canal

Commission (Commission) is revising

its method of payment of tolls and other

vessel charges to allow certain small

vessels paying a toll of not more than

$1,500 to have the option to pay tolls

and fees for other ancillary services by

using commercial credit cards, under

conditions established by the

Commission.

DATES: Effective June 1, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John

A. Mills, Telephone: (202) 634–6441,

Facsimile: (202) 634–6439, E-mail:

pancanalwo@aol.com; or Department of

Financial Management, Telephone 011

(507) 272–3137, Facsimile: 011 (507)

272–3433, E-mail: fmf@pancanal.com.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 1,

1998, the Commission will establish a

new toll structure for small vessels

transiting the Panama Canal. This

change is being implemented as part of

the efforts the Commission is taking to

allocate better its resources and to

provide a more efficient service.

The Commission is also aware of the

importance of providing better service

to customers. The Board of Directors of

the Commission, therefore, approved a

change which will allow small vessel

owners to guarantee the payment of tolls

and fees for other ancillary services by

use of a commercial credit card.

Currently, all vessels transiting the

Canal must pay tolls in full, or secure

these charges through a financial

institution designated by the

Commission as provided in 35 CFR

133.74. Vessels must satisfy this

requirement before they are permitted to

enter a lock, as well as pay all other

charges before a vessel is permitted to

depart from the Canal. Unless one of the

exceptions under 35 CFR 133.74

applies, all payments are required to be

made in cash.

This new exception will expedite the

paperwork involved in the transit of

small vessels by allowing vessel owners

to complete payment requirements in

less time. Furthermore, this will

facilitate the Commission’s

administrative process involved in the

payment of tolls and other vessel

charges for small vessel transits. No

notice or comment period is being

afforded as this change will provide an

immediate benefit to affected Canal

users.

The Commission is exempt from

Executive Order 12866 and its

provisions do not apply to this rule.

Even if the Order were applicable, the

rule would not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The
