activities and units, as directed by competent authority.''

where potentially hazardous conditions exist.
    (c) For prevention of interruption of the stated use of the base by 
the presence of any unauthorized person within the boundaries of 
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and prevention of injury to any such 
unsupervised person as a consequence of the dangerous conditions which 
exist, as well as for other reasons, it is essential to restrict entry 
upon Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to authorized persons only.
