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 has

determined that USS CARNEY (DDG 64)

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: May 2, 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,

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

CARNEY (DDG 64) 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 ship, and the horizontal distance

between the forward and after masthead

lights; Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(i),

pertaining to the placement of the

masthead light or lights above and clear

of all other lights and obstructions; and

Annex I, paragraph 3(c), pertaining to

placement of task lights not less than 2

meters from the fore and aft centerline

of the ship in the athwartship direction.

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.
