vessel within this regulated area. A succession of sharp, short signals
by whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the area under the direction
of the PATCOM shall serve as a signal to stop. Vessels so signaled
shall stop and shall comply with the orders of the PATCOM. Failure to
do so may result in expulsion from the area, a Notice of Violation for
failure to comply, or both.
If it is deemed necessary for the protection of life and property,
the PATCOM may terminate at any time the marine event or the operation
of any vessel within the regulated area.

The rules in Sec. 100.901 do not apply to vessels participating in
