14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0104 Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-279-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, -300ER, and
777F series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report
indicating that a fire originated near the first officer's area, which
caused extensive damage to the flight deck. This proposed AD would
require replacing the low-pressure oxygen hoses with non-conductive
low-pressure oxygen hoses in the flight compartment. We are proposing
this AD to prevent electrical current from passing through the low-
pressure oxygen hose internal anti-collapse spring, which can cause the
low-pressure oxygen hose to melt or burn, and a consequent oxygen-fed
fire in the flight compartment.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 26, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2012-0104 2011-
NM-279-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite
comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy
aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by
the closing date and may amend this proposed AD because of those
comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received a report indicating that a fire originated near the
first officer's area, which caused extensive damage to the flight deck.
The cause of this incident is unknown. One scenario of the causes being
considered is that an electrical fault or short circuit resulted in
electrical heating of the low-pressure oxygen hoses in the flight crew
oxygen system. This condition, if not corrected, could cause electrical
current to pass through the low-pressure oxygen hose internal anti-
collapse spring, which can cause the low-pressure oxygen hose to melt
or burn, and a consequent oxygen-fed fire in the flight compartment.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-35A0027, dated
December 15, 2011. The service information describes procedures for
replacing the low-pressure oxygen hoses with non-conductive low-
pressure oxygen hoses in the flight compartment.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in

the service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 169 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

33 CFR Part 110

[Docket No. USCG-2014-0142]
RIN 1625-AA01

Anchorage Regulations: Special Anchorage Areas, Marina del Rey
Harbor, California

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2014, the Coast Guard published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to disestablish the special anchorage in
Marina del Rey Harbor, California. Based on the comments received in
response to that NPRM, we are now proposing to amend the shape and
reduce the size of the special anchorage in Marina del Rey Harbor,
California. Additionally, we propose to clarify the language in the
note section of the existing regulation. This SNPRM would leave
sufficient navigable water on adjacent sides of the anchorage for
vessel traffic, effectively removing this special anchorage area from a
location where it could endanger vessel traffic.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before April 14, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2014-0142 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call or email Lieutenant Van Vu, Waterways Management Division, U.S.
Coast Guard District 11, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
SNPRM Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is: 33 U.S.C. 471, 1221,
through 1236, and 2071; 33 CFR 1.05-1; and Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which collectively authorized the Coast
Guard to define anchorage areas. A special anchorage area is a
designated water area within which vessels less than 65 feet (20
meters) in length are not required to: Sound signals required by Rule
35 of the Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR 83.35); or exhibit the white
anchor lights or shapes required by Rule 30 of the Inland Navigation
Rules (33 CFR 83.30). By regulation, special anchorage areas should be
well removed from the fairways and located where general navigation
will not endanger or be endangered by unlighted vessels (33 CFR
109.10).
    This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) is intended
to reduce the size of the anchorage. The amended anchorage will leave
sufficient navigable water on adjacent sides of the anchorage for
vessel traffic, effectively removing the anchorage from a location
where it could endanger vessel traffic. The proposed rule would better
accommodate transiting vessels and create a clearly defined area for
anchored vessels, thus improving navigation safety.

A. Regulatory History and Information

    In 1967, the Coast Guard placed the regulation for a special
anchorage area in the main channel of Marina del Rey in 33 CFR, as
anchorage regulations were transferred from the Army Corp of Engineers
to the Coast Guard (32 FR 17726, 17737, Dec. 12, 1967). The specific
regulations and boundaries for this special anchorage area are defined
by coordinates in 33 CFR 110.111.
    On May 28, 2014, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Anchorage Regulations: Special Anchorage Area, Marina
del Rey, California, in the Federal Register (79 FR 30509) to
disestablish the anchorage. The purpose was to align the regulations
with the current and future configuration of the main channel and
docking facilities. On November 4, 2014, we published a notice for a
public meeting (79 FR 65361). The meeting was held in Marina del Rey,
CA on November 20, 2014. At the public meeting, we heard from six
speakers. For greater public participation, all comments submitted to
the public docket as late as January 5, 2015 were considered. In
addition to the six speakers at the public meeting, we received
comments in 44 written submissions to the docket. Based on all comments
received we have prepared this supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking (SNPRM) which proposes to maintain the anchorage but amend
the boundaries and reduce the size of the anchorage.

B. Discussion of Comments on NPRM and Changes

    The Coast Guard received 44 written submissions to the docket and
heard from six speakers at the public meeting regarding the NRPM to
disestablish the anchorage. All written submissions thru the portal,
the recorded transcript of the public meeting and all other documents
pertaining to this topic are available in the public docket for this
rulemaking, where indicated under ADDRESSES.
    Below, we have summarized the received comments and our response to
these comments.
    The Coast Guard received 31 comments to keep the anchorage as is or
to establish an alternate anchorage at another location in the harbor.
The Coast Guard understands the commenters' concern of the need for a
safe refuge for transiting recreational vessels during storms or other
dangerous conditions. Thus, we are proposing a smaller anchorage as an
option for mariners.
    The Coast Guard received eight comments for a public hearing and
additional time for public comment. We held a public meeting in Marina
Del Rey on November 20, 2014 and considered comments received until
January 5, 2015.
    The Coast Guard received nine comments in support of removing the
anchorage. Some of those comments indicated that vessels anchoring in
the existing anchorage in the main channel create an unsafe situation.
Other comments reported mariners rarely use the anchorage and there is
little knowledge of its existence. The special anchorage is clearly
marked on the chart with reference to the applicable regulation. A copy
of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of
Coast Survey Chart number 18744 has been posted to the docket to
illustrate this point. The Coast Guard has determined the current
special anchorage area encompassing the entire channel width at the
north end of the harbor could cause an unsafe situation. In this SNPRM,
the Coast Guard is proposing a smaller special anchorage area which
will allow vessel traffic to pass safely on all sides.
    The Coast Guard received two comments and questions at the public

meeting in November concerning proposed projects located outside of the
anchorage area. The Coast Guard indicated these comments addressed
areas and subjects outside the anchorage that would not impact the
existing anchorage and were beyond the scope of the proposed
rulemaking.

III. Discussion of SNPRM Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule would decrease the size of the current anchorage
in Marina del Rey harbor. Currently, it is a trapezoid-shaped anchorage
of approximately 0.48 square nautical miles. The Coast Guard proposes
to change the shape of the anchorage from a trapezoid to a rectangle
and decrease its size from approximately 0.48 to 0.11 square nautical
miles. The revised anchorage would be moved to the middle of the
channel across from Burton Chace Park, with its northern boundary line
approximately from the midpoint of basin G extending south to the
midpoint of Basin H. The anchorage dimensions would be 1154 feet in
length and 365 feet in width. The distance from the closest shore side
dock to the anchorage boundary would be approximately 243 feet. The
anchorage boundaries are described, using precise coordinates, in the
proposed regulatory text at the end of this document.
    This proposed rule would also amend the note section for 33 CFR
110.111 to clarify the purpose of the anchorage, as well as the types
of vessels eligible to use the anchorage. It would also reflect that
the Marina del Rey Harbor Master, Los Angeles County, prescribes local
regulations for mooring and boating activities in this harbor, rather
than the Director, Department of Small Craft Harbors, Los Angeles
County, which is obsolete. This updated note will clarify the role of
the Marina del Rey Harbor Master in the administration of the special
anchorage.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule would not be
significant to the maritime and local community. The existing anchorage
is currently used only in emergency circumstances, and this proposed
change will not significantly reduce the number of vessels using the
anchorage.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This proposed rule may affect the following entities,
some of which might be small entities: The owners or operator of
recreational vessels that have a need to anchor in Marina del Rey
special anchorage.
    This proposed rule would not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities. Although this rule would decrease
the size of the special anchorage area, the proposed dimensions provide
sufficient space for vessels to anchor when authorized by the Harbor
Master, without presenting a hazard to vessels transiting in the
channel.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States or
local governments and would either preempt State law or impose a
substantial direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this
rule under that Order and determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a
preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves the
amendment of a currently-existing anchorage area. Normally such actions
are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(f) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction M16475.1D. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-10013-97-Region 4]

Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the
Commonwealth of Kentucky

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intended approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Commonwealth of Kentucky is
revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Kentucky
has adopted drinking water regulations for the Interim Enhanced Surface
Water Treatment Rule, Lead and Copper Rule Minor Revisions, Filter
Backwash Recycling Rule, and Revised Total Coliform Rule. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that Kentucky's
regulations are no less stringent than these federal rules and the
revisions otherwise meet applicable Safe Drinking Water Act
requirements. Therefore, the EPA intends to approve these revisions to
the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Public Water System Supervision Program.

DATES: Any interested person may request a public hearing. A request
for a public hearing must be submitted by September 28, 2020, to the
Regional Administrator at the following address: U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 4, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street
SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. The Regional Administrator may deny
frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing. However, if a
substantial request for a public hearing is made by September 28, 2020,
a public hearing will be held. If no timely and appropriate request for
a hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not elect to
hold a hearing on her own motion, this determination shall become final
and effective on September 28, 2020. Any request for a public hearing
shall include the following information: The name, address, and
telephone number of the individual, organization, or other entity
requesting a hearing; a brief statement of the requesting person's
interest in the Regional Administrator's determination and a brief
statement of the information that the requesting person intends to
submit at such hearing; and the signature of the individual making the
request, or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the
organization or other entity.

ADDRESSES: Documents relating to this determination are available for
inspection between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday (excluding legal holidays), at the following location: The main
lobby of the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet (KEEC), 300 Sower
Boulevard, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. Due to COVID-19, those intending
to view documents at this location should contact Ms. Alicia Jacobs,
KEEC, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER> at least 30 minutes prior to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale Froneberger, EPA Region 4, Safe
Drinking Water Branch, by mail at the Atlanta street address given
above, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commonwealth of Kentucky has submitted
requests that the EPA approve revisions to the Commonwealth's Safe
Drinking Water Act Public Water System Supervision Program to include
the authority to implement and enforce the Interim Enhanced Surface
Water Treatment Rule, Lead and Copper Rule Minor Revisions, Filter
Backwash Recycling Rule, and Revised Total Coliform Rule. For the
requests to be approved, the EPA must find the commonwealth regulations
codified at Title 401 KAR chapter 8 to be no less stringent than the
federal rules codified at 40 CFR part 141. The EPA reviewed Kentucky's
applications using the federal statutory provisions (Section 1413 of
the Safe Drinking Water Act), federal regulations

(at 40 CFR parts 141 and 142), commonwealth regulations, commonwealth
policies and procedures for implementing the rules, regulatory
crosswalks, and the EPA regulatory guidance to determine whether the
requests for revision are approvable. The EPA determined that the
Kentucky regulations are no less stringent than the corresponding
federal rules and the revisions otherwise meet applicable Safe Drinking
Water Act requirements. Therefore, the EPA intends to approve these
revisions. If the EPA does not receive a timely and appropriate request
for a hearing and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a
hearing on her own motion, this approval shall become final and
effective on September 28, 2020.

    Authority: Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as
amended (1996), and 40 CFR part 142.

    Dated: August 21, 2020.

21 CFR Part 558

[Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0003]

New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Monensin

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug
application (NADA) filed by Elanco Animal Health, A Division of Eli
Lilly & Co. The supplemental NADA revises a manufacturing specification
for monensin free-choice Type C medicated feed for growing cattle on
pasture or in dry lot.

DATES: This rule is effective December 21, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew A. Lucia, Center for
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-128), Food and Drug Administration, 7500
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elanco Animal Health, A Division of Eli
Lilly & Co., Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, IN 46285, filed a
supplement to NADA 95-735 that provides for use of RUMENSIN 90
(monensin, USP) Type A medicated article in a free-choice Type C
medicated feed for growing cattle on pasture or in dry lot (stocker and
feeder cattle and dairy and beef replacement heifers). The supplement
revises the percent monensin Type A medicated article in the codified
free-choice feed specifications to reflect use of a product containing
90.7 grams of monensin per pound. The supplemental NADA is approved as
of May 24, 2011, and the regulations in 21 CFR 558.355 are amended to
reflect the approval.
    Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of
additional safety or effectiveness data or information. Therefore, a
freedom of information summary is not required.
    The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is of
a type

that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment
nor environmental impact statement is required.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.''
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 558

    Animal drugs, Animal feeds.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and
redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 558 is
amended as follows:

PART 558--NEW ANIMAL DRUGS FOR USE IN ANIMAL FEEDS

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0435]

Certificate of Alternative Compliance for the Ferry RODANTHE

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of issuance of a certificate of alternative
compliance.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces that the Fifth District, Chief of
Prevention Division has issued a certificate of alternative compliance
from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea,
1972 (72 COLREGS), for the North Carolina's Department of
Transportation ferry RODANTHE, Official Number (O.N.) 1285078,
Bollinger Hull Number: 693. We are issuing this notice because its
publication is required by statute. Due to the construction and
placement of the pilothouse offset to the starboard side of the vessel,
the ferry RODANTHE cannot fully comply with the light, shape, or sound
signal provisions of the 72 COLREGS without interfering with the
vessel's design and construction. This notification of issuance of a
certificate of alternative compliance promotes the Coast Guard's marine
safety mission.

DATES: The Certificate of Alternative Compliance was issued on June 1,
2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information or questions about
this notice call or email LCDR Ronaydee M. Marquez, District Five,
Chief, Inspections and Investigations, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone:
757-398-6682, email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States is signatory to the
International Maritime Organization's International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), as amended. The
special construction or purpose of some vessels makes them

unable to comply with the light, shape, or sound signal provisions of
the 72 COLREGS. Under statutory law, however, specified 72 COLREGS
provisions are not applicable to a vessel of special construction or
purpose if the Coast Guard determines that the vessel cannot comply
fully with those requirements without interfering with the special
function of the vessel.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 33 U.S.C. 1605.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The owner, builder, operator, or agent of a special construction or
purpose vessel may apply to the Coast Guard District Office in which
the vessel is being built or operated for a determination that
compliance with alternative requirements is justified,\2\ and the Chief
of the Prevention Division would then issue the applicant a certificate
of alternative compliance (COAC) if he or she determines that the
vessel cannot comply fully with 72 COLREGS light, shape, and sound
signal provisions without interference with the vessel's special
function.\3\ If the Coast Guard issues a COAC, it must publish notice
of this action in the Federal Register.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 33 CFR 81.5.
    \3\ 33 CFR 81.9.
    \4\ 33 U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33 CFR 81.18.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fifth District, Chief of Prevention Division, U.S. Coast Guard,
certifies that the RODANTHE, O.N. 1285078 is a vessel of special
construction or purpose, and that, with respect to the position of the
masthead light and sidelights, it is not possible to comply fully with
the requirements of the provisions enumerated in the 72 COLREGS,
without interfering with the normal operation, construction, or design
of the vessel. The design and configuration of the pilothouse offset to
the starboard side of the vessel allows an open deck to carry large
vehicles. There are no structures on the fore and aft centerline or
left of the centerline on which a masthead light or sidelights could be
affixed. Instead, the masthead light is located on the top center of
the pilothouse and the port sidelight is located on the port side of
the pilothouse, which is offset to the starboard side of the vessel.
The Fifth District, Chief of Prevention Division further finds and
certifies that the masthead light and sidelights are in the closet
possible compliance with the applicable provisions of the 72
COLREGS.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 33 U.S.C. 1605(a); 33 CFR 81.9.

CFR 81.18.
