CFR Part 5, Subpart D.

Procedural Requirements

This final rule is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ pursuant to Executive

Order 12866. This final rule merely

removes a redundancy from existing

Department of the Treasury regulations.

Accordingly, notice and public

procedure thereon is unnecessary.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), good

cause is found for making this rule

effective upon publication. As no notice

of proposed rulemaking is required, the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

There are no collections of information

required by this final rule, and,

therefore, the Paperwork Reduction Act

does not apply.

Administrative practice and

procedure, Claims.

Accordingly, under the authority of 5

U.S.C. 301, 31 CFR chapter II is hereby

amended by removing part 390.

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 BLACK HAWK

(MHC 58) 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

functions as a naval ship. The intended

effect of this rule is to warn mariners in

waters where 72 COLREGS apply.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 30, 1995.

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 BLACK

HAWK (MHC 58) 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: Rule

27(f), pertaining to the display of allround lights by a vessel engaged in mine

clearance operations; and Annex I,

paragraph 9(b), prescribing that allround lights be located as not to be

obscured by masts, topmasts or

structures within angular sectors of

more than six degrees. 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.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[COTP Jacksonville Regulation 93–115]

RIN 2115–AA97

Security Zone Regulations; Naval Air

Station Jacksonville, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is removing

an existing security zone on the St.

Johns river, Jacksonville, Florida, and

establishing a security zone for the

waters surrounding Naval Air Station

Jacksonville, Florida. The change will

delete an existing security zone for the

north bank of the St. Johns river at the

junction of Brills Cut Range and

Broward Point Turn, known as Dunn

Creek Terminal. The change also

establishes a security zone around Naval

Air Station Jacksonville to safeguard

sensitive military assets on the facility.

No person or vessel may enter or remain

in the zone without the permission of

the Captain of the Port Jacksonville,

Florida.

EFFECTIVE DATES: January 19, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

LT E.W. Heinold, Coast Guard Marine

Safety Office Jacksonville, Florida at

(904) 232–2957.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May

19, 1994, the Coast Guard published a

notice of proposed rulemaking in the

Federal Register for these regulations

(59 FR 26155). Interested persons were

requested to submit comments and no

comments were received. One minor

correction has been made since the

notice of proposed rulemaking; the

proposed section, § 165.709 will now

read § 165.722. This correction will

allow this regulation to be located in

Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR) with other regulations for the

MSO Jacksonville area of responsibility.

As a matter of general interest the Coast

Guard notes that this final regulation

provides, that no person or vessel may

enter or remain in the zone without the

permission of the Captain of the Port

Jacksonville, Florida. Title 33 CFR 6.04–

11 authorizes the Captain of the Port to

enlist the aid and cooperation of

Federal, State, county, municipal, and

private agencies to assist in the

enforcement of regulations issued

pursuant to that part. The Captain of the

Port of Jacksonville advises that the aid

and cooperation of the Commanding

Officer, Naval Air Station Jacksonville,

FL has been enlisted to assist in the

enforcement of this security zone.

Drafting Information

The drafters of these regulations are

LT E.W. Heinold, project officer for the

Captain of the Port Jacksonville, Florida

and LTJG J. Diaz, project attorney,

Seventh Coast Guard District Legal

Office.

Federalism

This action has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612, and it has been determined that

the rulemaking does not have sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
