Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14 § 852
The regulations in this subchapter set forth tank vessel escort requirements for the San Diego Harbor. Escort tugs shall be available to influence the speed and direction of travel of a tank vessel in the event of a casualty, or a steering or propulsion failure, thereby reducing the possibility of a grounding or collision and the risk of an oil spill.
The Administrator shall periodically review the tug/tank vessel matching criteria and other requirements of this subchapter. The review will include a survey of the tank vessel-related incidents in U.S. waters to determine the type of failures that have occurred, an assessment of tug technology and any advances made in design and power, and the escort tug-related rules and policies that are implemented by other coastal states and maritime organizations. At the conclusion of the review, the Administrator will determine whether it is necessary to modify the tug/tank vessel match criteria or any other requirements of this subchapter.
