SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed for under Title 
33, Code of Federal Regulation, Parts 81 and 89, has been issued for 
the offshore supply vessel DWIGHT S. RAMSAY, O.N. 1225118. The 
horizontal distance between the forward and aft masthead lights may be 
20'-5''. Placing the aft masthead light at the horizontal distance from 
the forward masthead light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 
the 72 COLREGS, and Annex I, Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act, 
would result in an aft masthead light location directly over the cargo 
deck where it would interfere with loading and unloading operations.
    The Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the horizontal 
separation of the forward and aft masthead lights to deviate from the 
requirements of Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 72 COLREGS, and Annex I, 
Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c), and 33 
CFR 81.18.

    Dated: 15 July 2010.
R. S. Keister,
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Inspections & Investigations 
Branch, By Direction of the Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.
