3. Research submersibles may be used in the 

 conduct of scientific research otherwise author- 

 ized, even if they will not navigate on the surface,

 the time, place and manner of their use suffi- 

 ciently in advance so that it may assure safety of 

 navigation.

 coastal State's territorial waters and provision shall
