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 JOHN F.

KENNEDY (CV 67) 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 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: April 14, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Commander K.P. McMahon, JAGC, U.S.

Navy, Admiralty Counsel, Office of the

Judge Advocate General, Navy

Department, 200 Stovall Street,

Alexandria, VA. 22332–2400.

Telephone number: (703) 325–9744.

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 JOHN

F. KENNEDY (CV 67) 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 2(g),

pertaining to placement of sidelights

above the hull of the vessel. The Deputy

Assistant Judge Advocate General

(Admiralty) of the Navy 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.
