1Opinion of the Court
PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:
Alaska Statute § 46.03.750(e) (1976)1 prohibits oil tankers from discharging ballast into the territorial waters of Alaska if that ballast has been stored in the vessel’s oil cargo tanks. On appellees’ motion for partial summary judgment, the district court invalidated this Alaska statute. The court ruled that the statute is preempted by Coast Guard regulations promulgated under Title II of the Ports and Waterways Safety Act of 1972, as amended by the Ports and Tanker Safety Act of 1978 (PWSA/PTSA), 46 U.S.C. § 391a (Supp. V 1981). We reverse.
