2.        Availability of emergency medical services.

3.        Spectator control if there exists a danger that life or prop- erty is in jeopardy.

nate the regatta until the person in control or a person desig- nated by the one in control satisfactorily restores compliance.

C.      When a regatta applicant is informed in writing by the Coast Guard that a permit is not required, such regatta may take place, but shall not relieve the regatta sponsor of any responsi- bility for the public welfare or confer any exemption from state boating and watersports laws and rules.
