Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the National Sea Grant College and Program Act of 1966 (80 Stat. 998), as amended (33 U.Si.C. 1121-1124), is further amended as follows: (1) In section 203(b)(1), after "the sum of $25,000,000", delete the word "and", and insert, after "for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1973, not to exceed the sum of $30,000,000," the following: "for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974, not to exceed the sum of $30,000,000, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975, not to exceed the sum of $40,000,000, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1976, not to exceed the sum of $50,000,000,". (2) I n section 204(a), delete subscript " (1) ", and delete all after "in any such fields", substituting a period therefor. (3) I n section 204(d)(1), after the first sentence, insert the following: "The Secretary may grant total payments that exceed such per centum with respect to those programs or portions of programs requested by the Secretary on his own initiative, upon his determination that the requirement for payments of 331/^ per centum of the cost thereof by the participant would be inequitable relative to the benefits which the participant would receive therefrom. The total amount of payments to be made by the Federal Government under all programs and portions of programs as to which the Secretary shall in any fiscal year exercise his authority under the preceding sentence to reduce or eliminate matching payments by the participant shall not exceed 1 per centum of the funds appropriated under this title for such fiscal year.".

(5) Except in section 204(g) and in section 205, delete "National Science Foundation" and "Foundation" wherever they appear in this title, substituting "Secretary of Commerce" and "Secretary", respectively; and make conforming changes by deleting "its" and substituting "his" wherever appropriate. (6) Amend section 204(g) to read as follows: " (g) Except as otherwise provided in this title, the Secretary, in carrying out his functions under this title, has the same powers and authority as has the National Science Foundation under the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended, to carry out its functions under that Act." (7) In section 204(i)(3), after "marine resources", insert "and which is so designated by the Secretary". (8) Amend section 205 to read as follows: "STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL MARINE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
