BILLING CODE 6717–01–P

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

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, acting

pursuant to authority delegated from the

Secretary of the Navy: has determined

that USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

(CVN 69) 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 aircraft carrier; and

has directed that certain naval ships or

classes of ships be removed from the

Tables in the existing Part 706. The

intended effect of this rule is to warn

mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS

apply.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 27, 1994.

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. The Secretary

of the Navy previously certified that

USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER (CVN

69) is a vessel of the Navy which, due

to its special construction and purpose,

cannot fully with 72 COLREGS. 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 amended that certification

to reflect that certain navigation lights

on USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

(CVN 69), previously certified as not in

compliance with 72 COLREGS, now

comply with the applicable 72

COLREGS requirements, to wit: the ship

now has a single forward anchor light,

as required by Rule 30(a)(i).

Notice is also provided that the

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) of the Navy has

determined that certain vessels and

classes of vessels listed in the existing

tables of 32 CFR Part 706 may be

deleted from those tables because

certification of those vessels or classes

of vessels is no longer required.

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:
