32 CFR Part 707

[Docket ID: USN-2018-HQ-0010]
RIN 0703-AB04


Special Rules With Respect to Additional Station and Signal 
Lights

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes Department of the Navy regulations 
concerning Special Rules with Respect to Additional Station and Signal 
Lights. Public notification of U.S. Navy vessels which display 
additional station and signal lights is governed by statute and 
executive order which direct that such notice 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 display 
additional station and signal lights. 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 continue to 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 notifying the public regarding 
additional station and signal lights displayed by U.S. Navy vessels 
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.
