determines and certifies to the Congress that the application of that 
sanction against such country would have a serious adverse effect on 
vital United States interests. The President shall transmit with such 
certification a statement setting forth the specific reasons for the 
President's determination.

    (a) Determination.--
            (1) Imposition of sanctions.--If the President determines 
        that a person is materially violating United Nations sanctions,

sanctions under this section. Any person who relies in good faith on 
such an advisory opinion which states that the proposed activity would 
not subject a person to such sanctions, and any person who thereafter 
engages in such activity, shall not be made subject to such sanctions 
solely on account of such activity.
    (c) Sanctions.--
            (1) In general.--The sanctions to be imposed pursuant to

                        United States;
                            (ii) if the President determines that the 
                        sanctioned person is a sole source supplier of 
                        such articles or services, that such articles 
                        or services are essential, and that alternative 
                        sources are not readily or reasonably 
                        available; or
                            (iii) if the President determines that such 
                        articles or services are essential to the 
                        national security under defense coproduction 
                        agreements.

                published in the Federal Register pursuant to 
                subsection (a)(2).
                    (F) Procurement, exports, or imports of food or 
                other humanitarian items.
    (d) Consultation With and Actions by Foreign Government of 
Jurisdiction.--
            (1) Consultations.--If the President makes a determination 
        described in subsection (a) with respect to a foreign person, 
        the Congress urges the President to initiate consultations 
        immediately with the government with primary jurisdiction over 
        that foreign person with respect to the imposition of sanctions 
        pursuant to this section.
            (2) Actions by government of jurisdiction.--In order to 
        pursue such consultations with that government, the President 
        may delay imposition of sanctions pursuant to this section for 
        up to 90 days. Following these consultations, the President 
        shall impose sanctions unless the President determines and 
        certifies to the Congress that that government has taken 
        specific and effective actions, including appropriate 
        penalties, to terminate the involvement of the foreign person 
        in the violations described in subsection (a). If the President 
        determines and certifies to the Congress that that government 
        is in the process of taking such actions, the President may 
        delay the imposition of sanctions for up to an additional 90 
        days.
            (3) Report to congress.--Not later than 90 days after

        subsection and on the basis for any determination under 
        paragraph (2) of this subsection that such government has taken 
        specific corrective actions.
    (e) Waiver.--
            (1) Criterion for waiver.--After the end of the 12-month 
        period beginning on the date on which a sanction is imposed on 
        a sanctioned person under this section, the President may waive 
        the application of that sanction with respect to that person if 
        the President determines and certifies to the Congress that the 
        continued imposition of that sanction with respect to that 
        person would have a serious adverse effect on vital United 
        States interests.
            (2) Notification of and report to congress.--If the 
        President decides to exercise the waiver authority provided in 
        paragraph (1), the President shall so notify the Congress not 
        less than 30 days before the waiver takes effect. Such 
        notification shall include a report fully articulating the 
        rationale and circumstances which led the President to exercise 
        the waiver authority.
