(a) In general

    (1)(A) After receiving a report under section 2252(f) of this title 
containing an affirmative finding regarding serious injury, or the 
threat thereof, to a domestic industry, the President shall take all 
appropriate and feasible action within his power which the President 
determines will facilitate efforts by the domestic industry to make a 
positive adjustment to import competition and provide greater economic 
and social benefits than costs.
    (B) The action taken by the President under subparagraph (A) shall 
be to such extent, and for such duration, subject to subsection (e)(1) 
of this section, that the President determines to be appropriate and 
feasible under such subparagraph.
    (C) The interagency trade organization established under section 
1872(a) of this title shall, with respect to each affirmative 
determination reported under section 2252(f) of this title, make a 
recommendation to the President as to what action the President should 
take under subparagraph (A).
    (2) In determining what action to take under paragraph (1), the 
President shall take into account--
        (A) the recommendation and report of the Commission;
        (B) the extent to which workers and firms in the domestic 
    industry are--
            (i) benefitting from adjustment assistance and other 
        manpower programs, and
            (ii) engaged in worker retraining efforts;

        (C) the efforts being made, or to be implemented, by the 
    domestic industry (including the efforts included in any adjustment 
    plan or commitment submitted to the Commission under section 2252(a) 
    of this title) to make a positive adjustment to import competition;
        (D) the probable effectiveness of the actions authorized under 
    paragraph (3) to facilitate positive adjustment to import 
    competition;
        (E) the short- and long-term economic and social costs of the 
    actions authorized under paragraph (3) relative to their short- and 
    long-term economic and social benefits and other considerations 
    relative to the position of the domestic industry in the United 
    States economy;
        (F) other factors related to the national economic interest of 
    the United States, including, but not limited to--
            (i) the economic and social costs which would be incurred by 
        taxpayers, communities, and workers if import relief were not 
        provided under this part,
            (ii) the effect of the implementation of actions under this 
        section on consumers and on competition in domestic markets for 
        articles, and
            (iii) the impact on United States industries and firms as a 
        result of international obligations regarding compensation;

        (G) the extent to which there is diversion of foreign exports to 
    the United States market by reason of foreign restraints;
        (H) the potential for circumvention of any action taken under 
    this section;
        (I) the national security interests of the United States; and
        (J) the factors required to be considered by the Commission 
    under section 2252(e)(5) of this title.

    (3) The President may, for purposes of taking action under paragraph 
(1)--
        (A) proclaim an increase in, or the imposition of, any duty on 
    the imported article;
        (B) proclaim a tariff-rate quota on the article;

    restriction on the importation of the article into the United

        (E) negotiate, conclude, and carry out agreements with foreign 
    countries limiting the export from foreign countries and the import 
    into the United States of such article;
        (F) proclaim procedures necessary to allocate among importers by 
    the auction of import licenses quantities of the article that are

    underlying cause of the increase in imports of the article or 
    otherwise to alleviate the injury or threat thereof;
        (H) submit to Congress legislative proposals to facilitate the 
    efforts of the domestic industry to make a positive adjustment to 
    import competition;
        (I) take any other action which may be taken by the President

information from the Commission. The Commission shall, as soon as 
practicable but in no event more than 30 days after the date on which it 
receives the President's request, furnish additional information with 
respect to the industry in a supplemental report.

(b) Reports to Congress

    (1) On the day the President takes action under subsection (a)(1) of 
this section, the President shall transmit to Congress a document

recommended by the Commission under section 2252(e)(1) of this title, 
the President shall state in detail the reasons for the difference.
    (2) On the day on which the President decides that there is no

in subsection (d)(2) of this section) upon the enactment of a joint 
resolution described in section 2192(a)(1)(A) of this title within the 
90-day period beginning on the date on which the document referred to in

(d) Time for taking effect of certain relief

    (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), any action described in 
subsection (a)(3)(A), (B), or (C) of this section, that is taken under 
subsection (a)(1) of this section shall take effect within 15 days after 
the day on which the President proclaims the action, unless the 
President announces, on the date he decides to take such action, his 
intention to negotiate one or more agreements described in subsection 
(a)(3)(E) of this section in which case the action under subsection 
(a)(3)(A), (B), or (C) of this section shall be proclaimed and take 
effect within 90 days after the date of such decision.
    (2) If the contingency set forth in subsection (c) of this section

(e) Limitations on actions

    (1)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the duration of the period in 
which an action taken under this section may be in effect shall not 
exceed 4 years. Such period shall include the period, if any, in which 
provisional relief under section 2252(d) of this title was in effect.
    (B)(i) Subject to clause (ii), the President, after receiving an 
affirmative determination from the Commission under section 2254(c) of 
this title (or, if the Commission is equally divided in its 
determination, a determination which the President considers to be an 
affirmative determination of the Commission), may extend the effective 
period of any action under this section if the President determines 
that--
        (I) the action continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy 
    the serious injury; and
        (II) there is evidence that the domestic industry is making a 
    positive adjustment to import competition.

    (ii) The effective period of any action under this section, 
including any extensions thereof, may not, in the aggregate, exceed 8 
years.
    (2) Action of a type described in subsection (a)(3)(A), (B), or (C) 
of this section may be taken under subsection (a)(1) of this section, 
under section 2252(d)(1)(G) of this title, or under section 
2252(d)(2)(D) of this title only to the extent the cumulative impact of 
such action does not exceed the amount necessary to prevent or remedy 
the serious injury.
    (3) No action may be taken under this section which would increase a 
rate of duty to (or impose a rate) which is more than 50 percent ad 
valorem above the rate (if any) existing at the time the action is 
taken.
    (4) Any action taken under this section proclaiming a quantitative 
restriction shall permit the importation of a quantity or value of the 
article which is not less than the average quantity or value of such 
article entered into the United States in the most recent 3 years that 
are representative of imports of such article and for which data are 
available, unless the President finds that the importation of a 
different quantity or value is clearly justified in order to prevent or 
remedy the serious injury.
    (5) An action described in subsection (a)(3)(A), (B), or (C) of this 
section that has an effective period of more than 1 year shall be phased 
down at regular intervals during the period in which the action is in 
effect.

section, of--
        (i) subheadings 9802.00.60 or 9802.00.80 of the Harmonized 
    Tariff Schedule of the United States with respect to an article; and
        (ii) the designation of any article as an eligible article for 
    purposes of subchapter V of this chapter;

shall be treated as an increase in duty.
    (B) No proclamation providing for a suspension referred to in 
subparagraph (A) with respect to any article may be made by the 
President, nor may any such suspension be recommended by the Commission 
under section 2252(e) of this title, unless the Commission, in addition 
to making an affirmative determination under section 2252(b)(1) of this 
title, determines in the course of its investigation under section 
2252(b) of this title that the serious injury, or threat thereof, 
substantially caused by imports to the domestic industry producing a 
like or directly competitive article results from, as the case may be--
        (i) the application of subheading 9802.00.60 or subheading 
    9802.00.80 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States; 
    or
        (ii) the designation of the article as an eligible article for 
    the purposes of subchapter V of this chapter.

    (7)(A) If an article was the subject of an action under subparagraph 
(A), (B), (C), or (E) of subsection (a)(3) of this section, no new 
action may be taken under any of those subparagraphs with respect to 
such article for--
        (i) a period beginning on the date on which the previous action 
    terminates that is equal to the period in which the previous action 
    was in effect, or
        (ii) a period of 2 years beginning on the date on which the 
    previous action terminates,

whichever is greater.
    (B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), if the previous action under 
subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (E) of subsection (a)(3) of this section 
with respect to an article was in effect for a period of 180 days or 
less, the President may take a new action under any of those 
subparagraphs with respect to such article if--
        (i) at least 1 year has elapsed since the previous action went 
    into effect; and
        (ii) an action described in any of those subparagraphs has not 
    been taken with respect to such article more than twice in the 5-
    year period immediately preceding the date on which the new action 
    with respect to such article first becomes effective.

(f) Certain agreements

    (1) If the President takes action under this section other than the 
implemention of agreements of the type described in subsection (a)(3)(E) 
of this section, the President may, after such action takes effect, 
negotiate agreements of the type described in subsection (a)(3)(E) of 
this section, and may, after such agreements take effect, suspend or 
terminate, in whole or in part, any action previously taken.
    (2) If an agreement implemented under subsection (a)(3)(E) of this 
section is not effective, the President may, consistent with the 
limitations contained in subsection (e) of this section, take additional 
action under subsection (a) of this section.

(g) Regulations

    (1) The President shall by regulation provide for the efficient and 
fair administration of all actions taken for the purpose of providing 
import relief under this part.
    (2) In order to carry out an international agreement concluded under 
this part, the President may prescribe regulations governing the entry 
or withdrawal from warehouse of articles covered by such agreement. In 
addition, in order to carry out any agreement of the type described in 
subsection (a)(3)(E) of this section that is concluded under this part 
with one or more countries accounting for a major part of United States 
imports of the article covered by such agreement, including imports into 
a major geographic area of the United States, the President may issue 
regulations governing the entry or withdrawal from warehouse of like 
articles which are the product of countries not parties to such 
agreement.
    (3) Regulations prescribed under this subsection shall, to the 
extent practicable and consistent with efficient and fair 
administration, insure against inequitable sharing of imports by a 
relatively small number of the larger importers.
