§ 107.4. Public safety light.
(a) Vessels engaged in government sanctioned public safety activities, and commercial vessels performing similar functions, may display an alternately flashing red and yellow light signal. The identification light signal shall be located so that it will not interfere with the visibility of the vessel’s navigation lights. The identification light signal may be used only as an identification signal and conveys no special privilege. Vessels using the identification light signal during public safety activities shall abide by the Inland Navigation Rules, and may not presume that the light or the exigency gives them precedence or right-of-way.
(b) Public safety activities include patrolling marine parades, regattas or special water celebrations; traffic control; salvage; firefighting; medical assistance; assisting disabled vessels; and search and rescue.
