Abstract
The New Carissa's 1999 groundings and oil spills on the Oregon coast tested state, federal, and international laws, regulations, and procedures designed to prevent such incidents or, when they do occur, to provide effective responses. This report evaluates the adequacy of that legal framework and recommends changes at the state, federal, and international levels.
