SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone in the navigable

on-loading to Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO). This safety zone 
is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment 
from potential explosion 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 San Francisco or a designated representative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone 
in 33 CFR 165.1198 for the Military Ocean Terminal Concord regulated 
area from December 17, 2021 from 12:01 a.m., until December 21, 2021, 
at 11:59 p.m., or as announced via marine local broadcasts. This safety 
zone is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine 
environment from potential explosion within the explosive arc. Our 
regulation for this safety zone, Sec.  165.1198, specifies the location 
of the safety zone which encompasses the navigable waters in the area 
between 500 yards of MOTCO Pier 2 in position 38[deg]03'30'' N, 
122[deg]01'14'' W and 3,000 yards of the pier. During the enforcement 
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 
contact Sector San Francisco Vessel Traffic Service at 415-556-2760 or 
VHF Channel 14 to obtain permission.
    In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal 
Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this 
enforcement period via the Local Notice to Mariners, and marine
