- (c) **A separation zone bounded by a line connecting the following geographical positions—**
- (d) Precautionary area “SE,” which is contained within a circle of radius 0.62 miles, centered at 47°55.40′ N, 122°29.55′ W.
- (e) **A separation zone bounded by a line connecting the following geographical positions—**
- (f) Precautionary area “SF,” which is contained within a circle of radius 0.62 miles, centered at 47°45.90′ N, 122°26.25′ W.
- (g) **A separation zone bounded by a line connecting the following geographical positions—**

- (i) **A separation zone bounded by a line connecting the following geographical positions—**
- (j) Precautionary area “T,” which is contained within a circle of radius 0.62 miles, centered at 47°34.55′ N, 122°27.07′ W.
- (k) **A separation zone bounded by a line connecting the following geographical positions—**
- (l) Precautionary area “TC,” which is contained within a circle of radius 0.62 miles, centered at 47°19.48′ N, 122°27.38′ W.
- (m) A traffic lane for northbound traffic that connects with precautionary areas “SC,” “SE,” “SF,” “SG,” “T,” and “TC,” as described in paragraphs [(b)](#b), [(d)](#d), [(f)](#f), [(h)](#h), [(j)](#j), and [(k)](#k) of this section, respectively, and is located between the separation zones described in paragraphs [(a)](#a), [(c)](#c), [(e)](#e), [(g)](#g), [(i)](#i), and [(k)](#k) of this section, respectively, and a line connecting the following geographical positions:
- (n) A traffic lane for southbound traffic that connects with precautionary areas “SC,” “SE,” “SF,” “SG,” “T,” and “TC,” as described in paragraphs [(b)](#b), [(d)](#d), [(f)](#f), [(h)](#h), [(j)](#j), and [(k)](#k) of this section, respectively, and is located between the separation zones described in paragraphs [(a)](#a), [(c)](#c), [(e)](#e), [(g)](#g), [(i)](#i), and [(k)](#k) of this section, respectively, and a line connecting the following geographical positions:
