§7361 . Naval salvage facilities: contracts for commercial facilities

(a) The Secretary of the Navy may provide, by contract or otherwise, necessary salvage facilities for public and private vessels upon such terms as he determines to be in the best interest of the United States.

(b) The Secretary shall submit to the Secretary of Transportation for recommendation and comment each proposed contract for salvage facilities that affects the interests of the Department of Transportation.

(c) Term contracts for salvage facilities may be made under this section only if-

(1) the Secretary of the Navy determines that available commercial salvage facilities are inadequate to meet the requirements of national defense; and

(2) public notice of the intention to enter into the contracts has been given in a manner and for a period that will, in the Secretary's judgment, provide the maximum competition for such contracts among commercial salvage organizations.

In subsection (a) the word "conditions" is omitted as included in the word "terms".

In subsection (b) the words "Secretary of Commerce" and "Department of Commerce" are substituted for the words "Maritime Commission" and "United States Maritime Commission" to reflect 1950 Reorganization Plan No. 21, effective May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3178, 64 Stat. 1273. That Plan abolished the Maritime Commission and established the Maritime Administration in the Department of Commerce. It also created the Federal Maritime Board, the Chairman of which is ex officio the Maritime Administrator and head of the Maritime Administration. Certain specified functions of the Maritime Commission and its Chairman were transferred to the Federal Maritime Board or its Chairman. None of the functions so transferred relate to the subject matter of this section. All other functions were transferred to the Secretary of Commerce.

Amendments

1981-Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 97–31 substituted "Transportation" for "Commerce" in two places.
