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 RAMAGE (DDG

61) 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 destroyer. The intended effect of

this rule is to warn mariners in waters

where 72 COLREGS apply.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 7, 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

RAMAGE (DDG 61) is a vessel of the

Navy which, due to its special

construction and purpose, cannot

comply fully with the following specific

provisions of 72 COLREGS without

interfering with its special function as a

naval destroyer: Annex I, paragraph 3(a)

pertaining to the location of the forward

masthead light in the forward quarter of

the vessel, and the horizontal distance

between the forward and after masthead

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

pertaining to placement of the masthead

light or lights above and clear of all

other lights and obstructions; 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) 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.
