(a) To reduce the risk of an oil spill as a result of fuel, cargo, and lube oil transfers, the administrator shall develop and implement a screening mechanism and a comprehensive risk-based monitoring program for inspecting the bunkering and lightering operations of vessels at anchor and alongside a dock. This program shall identify those bunkering and lightering operations that pose the highest risk of a pollution incident.
(b) The administrator shall ensure that all bunkering and lightering operations that, pursuant to subdivision (a), pose the highest risk of a pollution incident are routinely monitored and inspected. The administrator shall coordinate the monitoring and inspection program with the United States Coast Guard.
(c) The administrator shall establish regulations to provide for the best achievable protection during bunkering and lightering operations in the marine environment.
(d) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2015, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends that date.
