     "(1) The department of ecology must submit a report to the legislature by December 1, 2014. The report must include a recommendation on the merits of establishing additional tug escort requirements for oil tankers entering state waters.
     (2) The additional tug escort requirements to be evaluated in the department of ecology's report must include:
     (a) Whether there is a need for a second escort tug for oil tankers in waters where tug escort is already required by law;
     (b) Whether there is a need for tug escorts for oil tankers in waters where there are not currently tug escort requirements; and
     (c) Whether other tug escort requirements are needed for oil tankers entering state waters based on season, adverse weather conditions, and the type of oil being transported by the tanker as defined in RCW 90.56.010.
     (3) In developing recommendations to include in the report, the department of ecology must:
     (a) Seek the input of stakeholders, including maritime safety forums such as the Puget Sound, Grays Harbor, and lower Columbia region harbor safety committees;
     (b) Consider the net benefits to navigational safety of any new tug escort requirements;
     (c) Consider the data and findings of the 2014 vessel traffic risk assessment completed under the direction of the Puget Sound partnership and maritime experts in evaluating tug escort requirements for vessels in Puget Sound;
     (d) Consider the data and findings of any draft or final risk assessment studies being performed for vessel traffic on the Columbia river; and
     (e) Account for the differences between Puget Sound, Grays Harbor, and the Columbia river, including differences in the physical environment, vessel traffic, weather, and other relevant factors, and appropriately account for these unique local circumstances.
     (4)(a) If the governor approves, after January 1, 2014, a recommendation of the energy facility site evaluation council pursuant to RCW 80.50.100 to certify a facility meeting the criteria listed in RCW 80.50.020(12) (d) or (f), the department of ecology may adopt rules to require the escort of oil tankers by a tug or tugs in the areas listed in RCW 88.16.190(1).
     (b) The department of ecology may adopt rules to require the escort of oil tankers by a tug or tugs in the areas listed in RCW 88.16.190(1)(b)(ii) and (iii) if, after January 1, 2014, the state of Oregon or any local jurisdiction in Oregon makes a final determination or issues a final permit to site or expand a facility in the watershed of the Columbia river meeting the criteria listed in RCW 80.50.020(12) (d) or (f) and which would be required to receive a certification pursuant to RCW 80.50.100 if an identical facility were proposed in Washington.
     (c) In adopting rules pursuant to this subsection, the department of ecology must fulfill the requirements in subsection (3)(a) through (e) of this section."
