Negotiated Shipbuilding Contracting Act of 1976

Summary

Amends the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, to extend until June 30, 1979, (presently exists until June 30, 1976) the authority of the Secretary of Commerce to accept bids for ship construction. Eliminates the requirement that such approval be based upon the existence of a construction-differential subsidy.
