cle—

United States Schedule to Annex 302.2 of the
Agreement is greater than 10 years; and

nation of the tariff, would have been in effect 1 year
after the initiation of the import relief action under
section 302; and
(2) the tariff treatment for that article after
December 31 of the year in which termination oc-
curs shall be, at the discretion of the President, ei-
ther—
(A) the rate of duty conforming to the ap-

PART 2—RELIEF FROM IMPORTS FROM ALL
COUNTRIES
SEC. 311. NAFTA ARTICLE IMPACT IN IMPORT RELIEF
CASES UNDER THE TRADE ACT OF 1974.
(a) IN GENERAL.—If, in any investigation initiated
under chapter 1 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974, the
International Trade Commission makes an affirmative de-
130
termination (or a determination which the President may
treat as an affirmative determination under such chapter
by reason of section 330(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930),
the International Trade Commission shall also find (and
report to the President at the time such injury determina-
tion is submitted to the President) whether—
(1) imports of the article from a NAFTA coun-
try, considered individually, account for a substan-
tial share of total imports; and
(2) imports of the article from a NAFTA coun-
try, considered individually or, in exceptional cir-
cumstances, imports from NAFTA countries consid-
ered collectively, contribute importantly to the seri-
ous injury, or threat thereof, caused by imports.
(b) FACTORS.—
(1) SUBSTANTIAL
IMPORT
SHARE.—In deter-
mining whether imports from a NAFTA country,
considered individually, account for a substantial
share of total imports, such imports normally shall
not be considered to account for a substantial share
of total imports if that country is not among the top
5 suppliers of the article subject to the investigation,
measured in terms of import share during the most
recent 3-year period.
131
(2) APPLICATION
OF
‘‘CONTRIBUTE
IMPOR-
TANTLY’’ STANDARD.—In determining whether im-
ports from a NAFTA country or countries contrib-
ute importantly to the serious injury, or threat
thereof, the International Trade Commission shall
consider such factors as the change in the import
share of the NAFTA country or countries, and the
level and change in the level of imports of such
country or countries. In applying the preceding sen-
tence, imports from a NAFTA country or countries
normally shall not be considered to contribute impor-
tantly to serious injury, or the threat thereof, if the
growth rate of imports from such country or coun-
tries during the period in which an injurious in-
crease in imports occurred is appreciably lower than
the growth rate of total imports from all sources
over the same period.
(c) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section and
section 312(a), the term ‘‘contribute importantly’’ refers
to an important cause, but not necessarily the most impor-
tant cause.
SEC. 312. PRESIDENTIAL ACTION REGARDING NAFTA IM-
PORTS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—In determining whether to take
action under chapter 1 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974
132
with respect to imports from a NAFTA country, the Presi-
dent shall determine whether—
(1) imports from such country, considered indi-
vidually, account for a substantial share of total im-
ports; or
(2) imports from a NAFTA country, considered
individually, or in exceptional circumstances imports
from NAFTA countries considered collectively, con-
tribute importantly to the serious injury, or threat
thereof, found by the International Trade Commis-
sion.
(b) EXCLUSION OF NAFTA IMPORTS.—In determin-
ing the nature and extent of action to be taken under
chapter 1 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974, the Presi-
dent shall exclude from such action imports from a
NAFTA country if the President makes a negative deter-
mination under subsection (a)(1) or (2) with respect to
imports from such country.
(c) ACTION AFTER EXCLUSION OF NAFTA COUN-
TRY IMPORTS.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—If the President, under sub-
section (b), excludes imports from a NAFTA coun-
try or countries from action under chapter 1 of title
II of the Trade Act of 1974 but thereafter deter-
mines that a surge in imports from that country or
133
countries is undermining the effectiveness of the ac-
tion—
(A) the President may take appropriate ac-
tion under such chapter 1 to include those im-
ports in the action; and
(B) any entity that is representative of an
industry for which such action is being taken
may request the International Trade Commis-
sion to conduct an investigation of the surge in
such imports.
(2) INVESTIGATION.—Upon receiving a request
under paragraph (1)(B), the International Trade
Commission shall conduct an investigation to deter-
mine whether a surge in such imports undermines
the effectiveness of the action. The International
Trade Commission shall submit the findings of its
investigation to the President no later than 30 days
after the request is received by the International
Trade Commission.
(3) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this sub-
section, the term ‘‘surge’’ means a significant in-
crease in imports over the trend for a recent rep-
resentative base period.
(d) CONDITION APPLICABLE TO QUANTITATIVE RE-
STRICTIONS.—Any action taken under this section pro-
