                within the explosive arc. The safety zone is open to all persons and
                vessels for transitory use, but vessel operators desiring to anchor or
                otherwise loiter within the safety zone must obtain the permission of
                the Captain of the Port San Francisco or a designated representative.
                All persons and vessels operating within the safety zone must comply
                with all directions given to them by the Captain of the Port (COTP) San
                Francisco or a designated representative.

                periods, as reflected in Sec. 165.1198(d), if you are the operator of
                a vessel in the regulated area you must comply with the instructions of
                the COTP or the designated on-scene patrol personnel. Vessel operators
                desiring to anchor or otherwise loiter within the safety zone must
