report of the Commission in which the Commission’s de-
termination under section 312(a) is affirmative, or which

of section 330(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1330(d)(1)), the President, subject to subsection (b), shall 
provide relief from imports of the article that is the subject 
of such determination to the extent that the President de-
termines necessary to remedy or prevent the injury found 
by the Commission and to facilitate the efforts of the do-
mestic industry to make a positive adjustment to import 
competition. 
(b) EXCEPTION.—The President is not required to 
provide import relief under this section if the President 
determines that the provision of the import relief will not 
provide greater economic and social benefits than costs. 
(c) NATURE OF RELIEF.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—The import relief that the 
President is authorized to provide under this section 
with respect to imports of an article is as follows: 
(A) The suspension of any further reduc-
tion provided for under Annex 2–B of the 
Agreement in the duty imposed on such article. 
(B) An increase in the rate of duty im-
posed on such article to a level that does not 
exceed the lesser of— 
(i) the column 1 general rate of duty 
imposed under the HTS on like articles at 
the time the import relief is provided; or 
(ii) the column 1 general rate of duty 
imposed under the HTS on like articles on 
the day before the date on which the 
Agreement enters into force. 
(2) PROGRESSIVE LIBERALIZATION.—If the pe-
riod for which import relief is provided under this 
section is greater than 1 year, the President shall 
provide for the progressive liberalization of such re-
lief at regular intervals during the period in which 
the relief is in effect.

any import relief that the President provides under
this section may not, in the aggregate, be in effect 
for more than 3 years.

any import relief provided under this section is 
less than 3 years, the President, after receiving 
a determination from the Commission under 
subparagraph (B) that is affirmative, or which 
the President considers to be affirmative under 
paragraph (1) of section 330(d) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1330(d)(1)), may ex-
tend the effective period of any import relief 
provided under this section, subject to the limi-
tation under paragraph (1), if the President de-
termines that— 
(i) the import relief continues to be 
necessary to remedy or prevent serious in-
jury and to facilitate adjustment by the do-
mestic industry to import competition; and 
(ii) there is evidence that the industry 
is making a positive adjustment to import 
competition. 
(B) ACTION BY COMMISSION.— 
(i) INVESTIGATION.—Upon a petition 
on behalf of the industry concerned that is
filed with the Commission not earlier than 
the date which is 9 months, and not later 
than the date which is 6 months, before 
the date any action taken under subsection 
(a) is to terminate, the Commission shall 
conduct an investigation to determine 
whether action under this section continues 
to be necessary to remedy or prevent seri-
ous injury and to facilitate adjustment by 
the domestic industry to import competi-
tion and whether there is evidence that the 
industry is making a positive adjustment 
to import competition.
