{"abstract":"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 TEXAS (SSN 775) 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.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE","name":"Defense Department","id":103,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/defense-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/103","parent_id":null,"slug":"defense-department"},{"raw_name":"Department of the Navy","name":"Navy Department","id":378,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/navy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/378","parent_id":103,"slug":"navy-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2006/04/06/06-3192.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":706,"title":32}],"citation":"71 FR 17346","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: March 20, 2006.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"06-3192","effective_on":"2006-03-20","end_page":17347,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2006/04/06/06-3192.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/04/06/06-3192/certifications-and-exemptions-under-the-international-regulations-for-preventing-collisions-at-sea","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/06-3192?publication_date=2006-04-06","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2006-04-06/06-3192/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":10,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-04-06/pdf/06-3192.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2006-04-06","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2006/04/06/06-3192.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T18:59:49Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":17346,"subtype":null,"title":"Certifications and Exemptions Under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972","toc_doc":"USS TEXAS","toc_subject":"Navigation, COLREGS compliance exemptions:","topics":["Marine safety","Navigation (water)","Vessels"],"type":"Rule","volume":71}
