Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on Maine tanker regulations, which may be preempted by older, and in some cases, less stringent federal mandates as a result of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The ruling affects states' rights to regulate the operation of oil tankers in state waters. A revision of Maine's rules after a 1996 incident that spilled 180,000 gallons of oil into Portland Harbor were intended to supplement the federal regulations.
