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

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces that the Chief, Prevention Division,

from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 
1972 (72 COLREGS), for the M/V SAMANTHA S (O.N. 1283014). We are 
issuing this notice because its publication is required by statute. Due 
to the construction and placement of the towing gear, deck equipment 
and required lights, the M/V SAMANTHA S 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 May 31, 
2018.

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 \1\ and Coast Guard regulation,\2\ the 
vessel's owner, builder, operator, or agent of those vessels may apply 
for a certificate of alternative compliance (COAC).\3\ 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 which must specify the required alternative installation. If 
the Coast Guard issues a COAC, under the governing statute \4\ and 
regulations,\5\ the Coast Guard must publish notice of this action. 
Once issued, a COAC remains valid until information supplied in the 
COAC application or the COAC terms become inapplicable to the vessel.

sidelights, are in the closest possible compliance with the applicable 
provisions of the 72 COLREGS.\6\
