        traffic in United States waters, including an assessment of 
        whether there are methods to bypass those rules in such 
        waterways and adjacent Canadian waters;

        oil transported in tankers or barges in United States waters,

        those rules in such waterways and adjacent Canadian waters;

            (7) the agreement between the United States and Canada that 
        outlines requirements for laden tank vessels to be escorted by 
        tug boats;
            (8) whether oil extracted from oil sands has different 
        properties from other types of oil, including toxicity and 
        other properties, which may require different maritime clean up 
        technologies;
            (9) a risk assessment of the increasing supertanker, 
        tanker, and barge traffic associated with Canadian oil sands 
        development or expected to be associated with Canadian oil 
        sands development; and
            (10) the potential costs and benefits to the U.S. public 
        and the private sector of maritime transportation of oil sands
