Summary

Maritime Administration Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 - Authorizes appropriations for FY 2001 to the Secretary of Transportation for the Maritime Administration. Amends the Merchant Marine Act, 1936 to declare that certain restrictions concerning a vessel built in a foreign country shall not apply to a drybulk or breakbulk vessel over 7,500 deadweight tons that has been delivered from a foreign shipyard or contracted for construction in a foreign shipyard before the earlier of specified dates. Deems U.S.-built any vessel timely contracted for or delivered and documented under U.S. law, if certain conditions are met. Names vessels of the National Defense Reserve Fleet that may be scrapped in foreign countries under terms and conditions prescribed by the Secretary. Authorizes the scrapping of additional vessels in the Fleet if the Secretary determines that they will become hazards to navigation or the environment.
