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

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

area from November 15, 2021, from 12:01 a.m., until November 19, 2021,

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

    In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal
