    (a) The danger zone. A circular area with a radius of 1.5 nautical 

miles, having its center just easterly of Seal Island at latitude 

43[deg]53[min]00[sec] and longitude 68[deg]44[min]00[sec].

    (b) The regulations. (1) No aerial bombing practice will take place 

in the danger zone after 5:00 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, at any 

time on Sundays, or during foggy or inclement weather.

    (2) Vessels or other watercraft will be allowed to enter the danger 

zone any time there are no aerial bombing exercises being conducted.

    (3) No live ammunition or explosives will be dropped in the area.

    (4) Suitable Notice to Mariners, by appropriate methods, will be 

issued by the Commander, First Coast Guard District, Boston, 

Massachusetts; upon request of the Commandant, First Naval District, 

Boston, Massachusetts, or his designated agent.

    (5) Prior to the conducting of each bombing practice, the area will 

be patrolled by a naval aircraft or surface vessel to ensure that no 

persons or watercraft are within the danger zone. Vessels may be

made only when the area is clear. The patrol aircraft will employ the 

method of warning known as ``buzzing'' which consists of low flight by 

the airplane and repeated opening and closing of the throttle.

leave the designated area and, until the conclusion of the practice,
