I. Background
In the Federal Register of August 26,
2009 (74 FR 43134), FDA published a
notice with a 90-day comment period to
request comments and scientific data
and information on acrylamide in food.
Comments on practices that
manufacturers have used to reduce
acrylamide in food and the reductions
they have been able to achieve in
acrylamide levels will assist in FDA’s
development of guidance for industry
on reduction of acrylamide levels in
food products, should FDA decide to
issue guidance on this topic.
The agency has received a request for
a 60-day extension of the comment
period for this notice. FDA has

entitled ‘‘Acrylamide in Food; Request
for Comments and for Scientific Data

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose
The offshore supply vessel TERREL
TIDE will be used for offshore supply
operations. The horizontal distance
between the forward and aft masthead
lights may be 25′–9″. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The offshore supply vessel GRANT
CANDIES will be used for offshore
supply operations. Full compliance
with 72 COLREGS and Inland Rules Act
will hinder the vessel’s ability to
maneuver within close proximity of
offshore platforms and conduct
helicopter operations. The forward
masthead light may be located forward
of the helideck 10.37 meters above the
hull. Placing the forward masthead light
at the height as required by Annex I,
paragraph 2(a) of the 72 COLREGS
would result in a masthead light
location that would interfere with
helideck operations.
In addition, the horizontal distance
between the forward and aft masthead
lights may be 32.845 meters. 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 would result in
an aft masthead light location directly
over the aft cargo deck where it would
interfere with loading and unloading
operations.
Furthermore, the sidelights may be
placed 2.417 meters above the forward
masthead light. Placing the sidelights
lower than the forward masthead light
as required by Annex I, paragraph 2(g)
of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, paragraph
84.03(g) of the Inland Rules Act, would
subject them to interference from the
deck lights and obstruction by the
helideck.
The Certificate of Alternative
Compliance allows for the vertical
placement of the forward masthead light
to deviate from requirements set forth in
Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of 72 COLREGS.
In addition, 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. Furthermore, the
Certificate of Alternative Compliance
allows for the placement of the
sidelights to deviate from requirements
set forth in Annex I, paragraph 2(g) of
72 COLREGS and Annex I, paragraph
84.03(g) of the Inland Rules Act.
