32 CFR Part 706 

Certifications and Exemptions Under 

the International Regulations for 

Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 

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 and Maritime Law) 

has determined that USS MISSOURI 

(SSN 780) is a vessel of the Navy which, 

due to its special construction and 

purpose, cannot fully comply with 

certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS 

without interfering with its special 

function as a naval ship. The intended 

effect of this rule is to warn mariners in 

waters where 72 COLREGS apply. 

DATES: This rule is effective April 30, 

2010 and is applicable beginning April 

21, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Commander Ted Cook, 

(Admiralty and Maritime Law), Office of 

the Judge Advocate General, 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 and Maritime Law), 

under authority delegated by the 

Secretary of the Navy, has certified that 

USS MISSOURI (SSN 780) is a vessel of 

the Navy which, due to its special 

construction and purpose, cannot fully 

comply with the following specific 

provisions of 72 COLREGS without 

interfering with its special function as a 

naval ship: Annex I, paragraph 2(a)(i), 

pertaining to the height placement of 

the masthead light above the hull; 

Annex I, paragraph 2(k), pertaining to 

the height and relative positions of the 

anchor lights; Annex I, paragraph 3(b), 

pertaining to the location of the 

sidelights; and Rule 21(c), pertaining to 

the location and arc of visibility of the 

sternlight. The Deputy Assistant Judge 

Advocate General (Admiralty and 

Maritime Law) 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.

[Docket No. USCG–2009–1110] 

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; APBA National Tour, 

Parker, AZ 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone 

within the Lake Moolvalya region of the 

navigable waters of the Colorado River 

in Parker, Arizona for the APBA 

National Tour. This temporary safety 

zone is necessary to provide for the 

safety of the participants, crew, 

spectators, participating vessels, and 

other vessels and users of the waterway. 

Persons and vessels are prohibited from 

entering into, transiting through, or 

anchoring within this safety zone unless 

authorized by the Captain of the Port or 

his designated representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective 6 a.m. on 

April 30, 2010 through 6 p.m. on 

May 2, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this 

preamble as being available in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary final rule without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment 

pursuant to authority under section 4(a) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because 

immediate action is necessary to ensure 

the safety of vessels, spectators, 

participants, and others in the vicinity 

of the marine event on the dates and 

times this rule will be in effect and 

delay would be contrary to the public 

interest. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register because delaying the effective 

date would be contrary to the public 

interest, since immediate action is 

needed to ensure the public’s safety. 

Background and Purpose 

RPM Racing Enterprises is sponsoring 

the APBA National Tour, which is held 

in Parker, Arizona. This temporary 

safety zone is necessary to provide for 

the safety of the participants, crew, 

spectators, sponsor vessels, and other 

users and vessels of the waterway. This 

event involves powerboats racing along 

a circular course. The size of the boats 

vary from ten to 16 feet in length. 

Approximately 150 boats will be 

participating in this event. The sponsor 

will provide two patrol and rescue boats 

and two river closure boats. 

Discussion of Rule 

The Coast Guard is establishing a 

safety zone that will be enforced from 6 

a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 30, 2010 through 

May 2, 2010. This safety zone is 

necessary to provide for the safety of the 

crews, spectators, participants, and 

other vessels and users of the waterway. 

Persons and vessels will be prohibited 

from entering into, transiting through, or 

anchoring with this safety zone unless 

authorized by the Captain of the Port, or 

his designated representative. The limits 

of this temporary safety zone are the 

portion of the Colorado River from 

Headgate Dam to 0.5 miles north of Blue 

Water Marina, Parker, Arizona. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this proposed rule to be so minimal that 

a full Regulatory Evaluation is 

unnecessary. This determination is 

based on the size and location of the 

safety zone. The safety zone 

encompasses only a small section of the 

river, and will only be enforced during 

the hours of 6 a.m. through 6 p.m. 

during the effective period of the safety 

zone. Commercial vessels will not be
