A bill to improve certain maritime programs of the Department of Transportation and the Department of Commerce.

Summary

Amends the Merchant Marine Act, 1936 to declare that an assumption of an obligation by the Secretary of Transportation does not affect the validity of the guarantee of such obligation. Makes a vessel or fishery facility for which obligations were accelerated and paid after default, eligible for a loan guarantee. Sets forth factors to be considered by the Secretary prior to making a loan guarantee. Authorizes the Secretary, in the event of a default, to assume the obligor's rights and duties under a loan or other security agreement guaranteed by the Secretary. Eliminates the authority of the Federal Maritime Commission to initiate investigations.
