Certificate of Alternative Compliance for the TUG CLAYTON W MORAN

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces that a Certificate of Alternative 
Compliance (COAC) was issued for the TUG CLAYTON W MORAN. We are 
issuing this notice because its publication is required by statute.

DATES: The Certificate of Alternative Compliance was issued on January 
30th, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information or questions about 
this notice call or email Mr. Kevin Miller, First District Towing 
Vessel/Barge Safety Specialist, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone (617) 223-
8272, 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, and sound signal provisions of the 72 
COLREGS. Under statutory law \1\ and Coast Guard regulation,\2\ a 
vessel may instead meet alternative requirements and the vessel's 
owner, builder, operator, or agent may apply for a COAC. For vessels of 
special construction, the cognizant Coast Guard District Office 
determines whether the vessel for which the COAC is sought complies as 
closely as possible with the 72 COLREGS, and decides whether to issue 
the COAC. Once issued, a COAC remains valid until information supplied 
in the COAC application or the COAC terms become inapplicable to the 
vessel. Under the governing statute \3\ and regulation,\4\ the Coast 
Guard must publish notice of this action.

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

    The Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, certifies that the TUG CLAYTON W 
MORAN is a vessel of special construction or purpose, and that, with 
respect to the position of the navigation and towing lights, it is not 
possible to comply fully with the requirements of the provisions 
enumerated in the 72 COLREGS, without interfering with the normal 
operation of the vessel. The Commandant further finds and certifies 
that the sidelights (13' 5.25'' from the vessel's side mounted on the 
pilot house) and stern/towing lights (3' 5.75'' aft of frame 20 mounted 
on top of the pilot house) are in the closet possible compliance with 
the applicable provisions of the 72 COLREGS and that full compliance 
with the 72 COLREGS would not significantly enhance the safety of the 
vessel's operation.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33 
CFR. 81.

    Dated: February 6, 2017.

Chief, Prevention Department, First District, U.S. Coast Guard.
