32 CFR Part 706

[Docket ID: USN-2018-HQ-0011]
RIN 0703-AB03


Certifications and Exemptions Under the International Regulations 
for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule removes Department of the Navy regulations 
governing Certification and Exemptions under the International 
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972. The certification 
and exemption of certain naval vessels which cannot comply fully with 
the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, 
is governed by statute and executive order which direct that notice of 
certification of alternate compliance be published in the Federal 
Register. The content of this part imposes no burden on the public, and 
the rule is not required. Notice will continue to be provided the 
public through the publication of notice documents in the Federal 
Register. Therefore, this rule can be removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on January 31, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LCDR Bradley Davis at 202-685-5040.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 33 U.S.C. 1605 and Executive Order 11964 of 
January 19, 1977, direct the Department of the Navy to provide public 
notice in the Federal Register of U.S. Navy vessels which cannot comply 
fully with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at 
Sea, 1972. It has been determined that publication of this CFR part 
removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary 
to public interest since statutorily required notice will be 
accomplished through publication of notice documents in the Federal 
Register.
    Removal of this part does not add or reduce the burden or cost on 
the public in any way. The cost of certifying alternate compliance of 
U.S. Navy vessels and notifying the public of such certification will 
remain the same with removal of the part.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' therefore, E.O. 13771, ``Reducing 
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' does not apply.
