(a) A person may conduct an activity prohibited by Sec. 922.72(a)(3) through (10), (a)(12), and (a)(13), and Sec. 922.73, if such activity is specifically authorized by, and conducted in accordance with the scope, purpose, terms, and conditions of, a permit issued under Sec. 922.48 and this section.
(b) The Director, at his or her sole discretion, may issue a permit, subject to terms and conditions as he or she deems appropriate, to conduct an activity prohibited by Sec. 922.72(a)(3) through (10), (a)(12), and (a)(13), and Sec. 922.73, if the Director finds that the activity:
(1) Is appropriate research designed to further understanding of Sanctuary resources and qualities;
(2) Will further the educational value of the Sanctuary;
(3) Will further salvage or recovery operations in or near the Sanctuary in connection with a recent air or marine casualty;
(4) Will assist in managing the Sanctuary; or
(5) Will further salvage or recovery operations in connection with an abandoned shipwreck in the Sanctuary title to which is held by the State of California.

(7) The proposed activity will be conducted in a manner compatible with the value of the Sanctuary as a source of recreation and as a source of educational and scientific information, considering the extent to which the conduct of the activity may result in conflicts between different users of the Sanctuary and the duration of such effects;
(8) It is necessary to conduct the proposed activity within the Sanctuary;
(9) The reasonably expected end value of the proposed activity furthers Sanctuary goals and purposes and outweighs any potential adverse effects on Sanctuary resources and qualities from the conduct of the activity; and
(10) Any other matters the Director deems appropriate do not make the issuance of a permit for the proposed activity inappropriate.
(d) Applications. (1) Applications for permits should be addressed to the Director, Office of National Marine Sanctuaries; ATTN: Manager, Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, 113 Harbor Way, Santa Barbara, CA 93109.
