                        Article 4 of the Understanding on Rules and 
                        Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes 
                        referred to in section 101(d)(16) (hereafter in 
                        this subsection referred to as the ``Dispute 
                        Settlement Understanding'') concerning whether 
                        the law of a State is inconsistent with the 
                        obligations undertaken by the United States in 
                        any of the Uruguay Round Agreements, the Trade 
                        Representative shall notify the Governor of the 
                        State or the Governor's designee, and the chief 
                        legal officer of the jurisdiction whose law is 
                        the subject of the consultations, as soon as 
                        possible after the request is received, but in 
                        no event later than 7 days thereafter.
                            (ii) Not later than 30 days after receiving 
                        such a request for consultations, the Trade 
                        Representative shall consult with 
                        representatives of the State concerned 
                        regarding the matter. If the consultations 
                        involve the laws of a large number of States, 
                        the Trade Representative may consult with an 
                        appropriate group of representatives of the 
                        States concerned, as determined by those 
                        States.
                            (iii) The Trade Representative shall make 
                        every effort to ensure that the State concerned 
                        is involved in the development of the position 
                        of the United States at each stage of the 
                        consultations and each subsequent stage of 
                        dispute settlement proceedings regarding the 
                        matter. In particular, the Trade Representative 
                        shall--
                                    (I) notify the State concerned not 
                                later than 7 days after a WTO member 
                                requests the establishment of a dispute 
                                settlement panel or gives notice of the 
                                WTO member's decision to appeal a 
                                report by a dispute settlement panel 
                                regarding the matter; and
                                    (II) provide the State concerned 
                                with the opportunity to advise and 
                                assist the Trade Representative in the 
                                preparation of factual information and 
                                argumentation for any written or oral 
                                presentations by the United States in 
                                consultations or in proceedings of a 
                                panel or the Appellate Body regarding 
                                the matter.
                            (iv) If a dispute settlement panel or the 
                        Appellate Body finds that the law of a State is 
                        inconsistent with any of the Uruguay Round 
                        Agreements, the Trade Representative shall 
                        consult with the State concerned in an effort 
                        to develop a mutually agreeable response to the 
                        report of the panel or the Appellate Body and 
                        shall make every effort to ensure that the 
                        State concerned is involved in the development 
                        of the United States position regarding the 
                        response.
                    (D) Notice to states regarding consultations on 
                foreign subcentral government laws.--
                            (i) Subject to clause (ii), the Trade 
                        Representative shall, at least 30 days before 
                        making a request for consultations under 
                        Article 4 of the Dispute Settlement 
                        Understanding regarding a subcentral government 
                        measure of another WTO member, notify, and 
                        solicit the views of, appropriate 
                        representatives of each State regarding the 
                        matter.

                        Representative shall notify the appropriate 
                        representatives of each State not later than 3 
                        days after making the request for consultations

            (2) Legal challenge.--
                    (A) In general.--No State law, or the application 
                of such a State law, may be declared invalid as to any 
                person or circumstance on the ground that the provision 
                or application is inconsistent with any of the Uruguay 
                Round Agreements, except in an action brought by the 
                United States for the purpose of declaring such law or 
                application invalid.
                    (B) Procedures governing action.--In any action 
                described in subparagraph (A) that is brought by the

                        or the Appellate Body convened under the 
                        Dispute Settlement Understanding regarding the 
                        State law, or the law of any political 
                        subdivision thereof, shall not be considered as 
                        binding or otherwise accorded deference;
                            (ii) the United States shall have the 
                        burden of proving that the law that is the 
                        subject of the action, or the application of 
                        that law, is inconsistent with the agreement in 
                        question;
                            (iii) any State whose interests may be 
                        impaired or impeded in the action shall have 
                        the unconditional right to intervene in the 
                        action as a party, and the United States shall 
                        be entitled to amend its complaint to include a 
                        claim or cross-claim concerning the law of a 
                        State that so intervenes; and
                            (iv) any State law that is declared invalid 
                        shall not be deemed to have been invalid in its 
                        application during any period before the 
                        court's judgment becomes final and all timely 
                        appeals, including discretionary review, of 
                        such judgment are exhausted.
                    (C) Reports to congressional committees.--At least 
                30 days before the United States brings an action 
                described in subparagraph (A), the Trade Representative 
                shall provide a report to the Committee on Ways and 
                Means of the House of Representatives and the Committee

                        State concerned by other means; and
                            (iii) if the State law was the subject of 
                        consultations under the Dispute Settlement 
                        Understanding, certifying that the Trade 
                        Representative has substantially complied with 
                        the requirements of paragraph (1)(C) in 
                        connection with the matter.
        Following the submission of the report, and before the action

        matter.

        of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2192(b), (d), (e), and (f))

        resolution has been referred has not reported it by the close 
        of the 45th day after its introduction (excluding any day 
        described in section 154(b) of the Trade Act of 1974), such 
        committee shall be automatically discharged from further 
        consideration of the joint resolution and it shall be placed on 
        the appropriate calendar.
            (D) It is not in order for--
                    (i) the Senate to consider any joint resolution 
                unless it has been reported by the Committee on Finance 
                or the committee has been discharged under subparagraph 
                (C); or
                    (ii) the House of Representatives to consider any

        intention to do so.
            (3) Consideration of second resolution not in order.--It 
        shall not be in order in either the House of Representatives or 
        the Senate to consider a joint resolution (other than a joint 
        resolution received from the other House), if that House has 
        previously adopted a joint resolution under this section.
    (d) Rules of House of Representatives and Senate.--This section is 
enacted by the Congress--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of 
        Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and as such is 
        deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, and 
        such procedures supersede other rules only to the extent that 
        they are inconsistent with such other rules; and
            (2) with the full recognition of the constitutional right 
        of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedures of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
        to the same extent as any other rule of that House.

SEC. 126. INCREASED TRANSPARENCY.

    The Trade Representative shall seek the adoption by the Ministerial 
Conference and General Council of procedures that will ensure broader 
application of the principle of transparency and clarification of the

open and equitable procedures in trade matters by the Ministerial 
Conference and the General Council, and by the dispute settlement 
panels and the Appellate Body under the Dispute Settlement 
Understanding.

        disclosure any information contained in such submissions 
        identified by the provider of the information as proprietary 
        information or information treated as confidential by a foreign 
        government;

SEC. 129. ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION FOLLOWING WTO PANEL REPORTS.

    (a) Action by United States International Trade Commission.--
            (1) Advisory report.--If a dispute settlement panel finds 
        in an interim report under Article 15 of the Dispute Settlement 
        Understanding, or the Appellate Body finds in a report under 
        Article 17 of that Understanding, that an action by the 
        International Trade Commission in connection with a particular 
        proceeding is not in conformity with the obligations of the 
        United States under the Antidumping Agreement, the Safeguards 
        Agreement, or the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing 
        Measures, the Trade Representative may request the Commission 
        to issue an advisory report on whether title VII of the Tariff 
        Act of 1930 or title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as the case 
        may be, permits the Commission to take steps in connection with 
        the particular proceeding that would render its action not 
        inconsistent with the findings of the panel or the Appellate 
        Body concerning those obligations. The Trade Representative 
        shall notify the congressional committees of such request.
            (2) Time limits for report.--The Commission shall transmit 
        its report under paragraph (1) to the Trade Repre-sentative--
                    (A) in the case of an interim report described in 
                paragraph (1), within 30 calendar days after the Trade 
                Representative requests the report; and
                    (B) in the case of a report of the Appellate Body, 
                within 21 calendar days after the Trade Representative 
                requests the report.
            (3) Consultations on request for commission 
        determination.--If a majority of the Commissioners issues an 
        affirmative report under paragraph (1), the Trade 
        Representative shall consult with the congressional committees 
        concerning the matter.
            (4) Commission determination.--Notwithstanding any 
        provision of the Tariff Act of 1930 or title II of the Trade 
        Act of 1974, if a majority of the Commissioners issues an 
        affirmative report under paragraph (1), the Commission, upon 
        the written request of the Trade Representative, shall issue a 
        determination in connection with the particular proceeding that 
        would render the Commission's action described in paragraph (1) 
        not inconsistent with the findings of the panel or Appellate 
        Body. The Commission shall issue its determination not later 
        than 120 days after the request from the Trade Representative 
        is made.
            (5) Consultations on implementation of commission 
        determination.--The Trade Representative shall consult with the 
        congressional committees before the Commission's determination 
        under paragraph (4) is implemented.
            (6) Revocation of order.--If, by virtue of the Commission's 
        determination under paragraph (4), an antidumping or 
        countervailing duty order with respect to some or all of the 
        imports that are subject to the action of the Commission 
        described in paragraph (1) is no longer supported by an 
        affirmative Commission determination under title VII of the 
        Tariff Act of 1930 or this subsection, the Trade Representative 
        may, after consulting with the congressional committees under 
        paragraph (5), direct the administering authority to revoke the 
        antidumping or countervailing duty order in whole or in part.
            (7) Modification of action under title ii of trade act of 
        1974.--Section 204(b) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
        2254(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
        paragraph:
            ``(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the President may, 
        after receipt of a Commission determination under section 
        129(a)(4) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act and consulting 
        with the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
        Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate, 
        reduce, modify, or terminate action taken under section 203.''.
    (b) Action by Administering Authority.--
            (1) Consultations with administering authority and 
        congressional committees.--Promptly after a report by a dispute 
        settlement panel or the Appellate Body is issued that contains 
        findings that an action by the administering authority in a 
        proceeding under title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 is not in 
        conformity with the obligations of the United States under the 
        Antidumping Agreement or the Agreement on Subsidies and 
        Countervailing Measures, the Trade Representative shall consult 
        with the administering authority and the congressional 
        committees on the matter.
            (2) Determination by administering authority.--
        Notwithstanding any provision of the Tariff Act of 1930, the 
        administering authority shall, within 180 days after receipt of 
        a written request from the Trade Representative, issue a 
        determination in connection with the particular proceeding that 
        would render the administering authority's action described in 
        paragraph (1) not inconsistent with the findings of the panel 
        or the Appellate Body.
            (3) Consultations before implementation.--Before the 
        administering authority implements any determination under 
        paragraph (2), the Trade Representative shall consult with the 
        administering authority and the congressional committees with 
        respect to such determination.
            (4) Implementation of determination.--The Trade 
        Representative may, after consulting with the administering 
        authority and the congressional committees under paragraph (3), 
        direct the administering authority to implement, in whole or in 
        part, the determination made under paragraph (2).
    (c) Effects of Determinations; Notice of Implementation.--
            (1) Effects of determinations.--Determinations concerning 
        title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 that are implemented under 
        this section shall apply with respect to unliquidated entries 
        of the subject merchandise (as defined in section 771 of that 
        Act) that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
        consumption on or after--
                    (A) in the case of a determination by the 
                Commission under subsection (a)(4), the date on which 
                the Trade Representative directs the administering 
                authority under subsection (a)(6) to revoke an order 
                pursuant to that determination, and
                    (B) in the case of a determination by the 
                administering authority under subsection (b)(2), the 
                date on which the Trade Representative directs the 
                administering authority under subsection (b)(4) to 
                implement that determination.
            (2) Notice of implementation.--
                    (A) The administering authority shall publish in 
                the Federal Register notice of the implementation of 
                any determination made under this section with respect 
                to title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930.
                    (B) The Trade Representative shall publish in the

negotiating objective of the United States in the extended negotiations

                        such orders are issued. A review of all

                transition orders as it deems appropriate to promote 
                administrative efficiency. To the extent practicable, 
                older orders shall be reviewed first.

                of this section, the term `transition order' means--
                            ``(i) a countervailing duty order under 
                        this title or under section 303,

                        title or a finding under the Antidumping Act, 
                        1921, or
                            ``(iii) a suspension of an investigation 
                        under section 704 or 734,
                which is in effect on the date the WTO Agreement enters 
                into force with respect to the United States.
                    ``(D) Issue date for transition orders.--For 
                purposes of this subsection, a transition order shall 
                be treated as issued on the date the WTO Agreement 
                enters into force with respect to the United States, if 
                such order is based on an investigation conducted by 
                both the administering authority and the Commission.
    ``(d) Revocation of Order or Finding; Termination of Suspended 
Investigation.--
            ``(1) In general.--The administering authority may revoke, 
        in whole or in part, a countervailing duty order or an 
        antidumping duty order or finding, or terminate a suspended 
        investigation, after review under subsection (a) or (b). The 
        administering authority shall not revoke, in whole or in part, 
        a countervailing duty order or terminate a suspended 
        investigation on the basis of any export taxes, duties, or 
        other charges levied on the export of the subject merchandise 
        to the United States which are specifically intended to offset 
        the countervailable subsidy received.
            ``(2) Five-year reviews.--In the case of a review conducted 
        under subsection (c), the administering authority shall revoke 
        a countervailing duty order or an antidumping duty order or 
        finding, or terminate a suspended investigation, unless--
                    ``(A) the administering authority makes a 
                determination that dumping or a countervailable 
                subsidy, as the case may be, would be likely to 
                continue or recur, and
                    ``(B) the Commission makes a determination that 
                material injury would be likely to continue or recur as 
                described in section 752(a).

        determination under this section to revoke an order or finding 
        or terminate a suspended investigation shall apply with respect 
        to unliquidated entries of the subject merchandise which are 
        entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
        after the date determined by the administering authority.
    ``(e) Hearings.--Whenever the administering authority or the 
Commission conducts a review under this section, it shall, upon the 
request of an interested party, hold a hearing in accordance with 
section 774(b) in connection with that review.
    ``(f) Determination That Basis for Suspension No Longer Exists.--If 
the determination of the Commission under subsection (b)(2)(B) is 
negative, the suspension agreement shall be treated as not accepted, 
beginning on the date of publication of the Commission's determination, 
and the administering authority and the Commission shall proceed, under 
section 704(i) or 734(i), as if the suspension agreement had been 
violated on that date, except that no duty under any order subsequently 
issued shall be assessed on merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption before that date.
    ``(g) Correction of Ministerial Errors.--The administering 
authority shall establish procedures for the correction of ministerial 
errors in final determinations within a reasonable time after the 
determinations are issued under this section. Such procedures shall 
ensure opportunity for interested parties to present their views 
regarding any such errors. As used in this subsection, the term 
`ministerial error' includes errors in addition, subtraction, or other 
arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, 
duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error 
which the administering authority considers ministerial.''.
    (b) Review of Determinations.--
            (1) In general.--Section 516A(a)(1) (19 U.S.C. 1516A(a)(1)) 
        is amended by striking ``or'' at the end of subparagraph (B), 
        by inserting ``or'' at the end of subparagraph (C), and by 
        inserting immediately after subparagraph (C) the following new 
        subparagraph:

        1516a(b)(1)) is amended--
                    (A) in subparagraph (A), by striking ``under 
                paragraph (1) of subsection (a)'' and inserting ``under 
                subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of subsection (a)(1)'',

                            (i) by striking ``(B) in an action'' and 
                        inserting ``(B)(i) in an action'',

                        (1)(D) of subsection (a), to be arbitrary, 
                        capricious, an abuse of discretion, or 
                        otherwise not in accordance with law.''.
    (c) Conforming Amendment.--Section 504 (19 U.S.C. 1504) is 
amended--
            (1) in subsection (a), by inserting ``except as provided in 
        section 751(a)(3),'' before ``an entry of merchandise not 
        liquidated'', and
            (2) in subsection (d), by striking ``When a suspension'' 
        and inserting ``Except as provided in section 751(a)(3), when a 
        suspension''.

SEC. 221. REVIEW DETERMINATIONS.

    (a) In General.--Chapter 1 of subtitle C of title VII (19 U.S.C. 
1675) is amended by adding at the end the following new section:

``SEC. 752. SPECIAL RULES FOR SECTION 751(b) AND 751(c) REVIEWS.

    ``(a) Determination of Likelihood of Continuation or Recurrence of 
Material Injury.--
            ``(1) In general.--In a review conducted under section 751 
        (b) or (c), the Commission shall determine whether revocation 
        of an order, or termination of a suspended investigation, would 
        be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material 
        injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. The Commission 
        shall consider the likely volume, price effect, and impact of 
        imports of the subject merchandise on the industry if the order 
        is revoked or the suspended investigation is terminated. The 
        Commission shall take into account--
                    ``(A) its prior injury determinations, including 
                the volume, price effect, and impact of imports of the 
                subject merchandise on the industry before the order 
                was issued or the suspension agreement was accepted,
                    ``(B) whether any improvement in the state of the 
                industry is related to the order or the suspension 
                agreement,
                    ``(C) whether the industry is vulnerable to 
                material injury if the order is revoked or the 
                suspension agreement is terminated, and
                    ``(D) in an antidumping proceeding under section 
                751(c), the findings of the administering authority 
                regarding duty absorption under section 751(a)(4).
            ``(2) Volume.--In evaluating the likely volume of imports 
        of the subject merchandise if the order is revoked or the 
        suspended investigation is terminated, the Commission shall 
        consider whether the likely volume of imports of the subject 
        merchandise would be significant if the order is revoked or the 
        suspended investigation is terminated, either in absolute terms 
        or relative to production or consumption in the United States. 
        In so doing, the Commission shall consider all relevant 
        economic factors, including--
                    ``(A) any likely increase in production capacity or 
                existing unused production capacity in the exporting 
                country,
                    ``(B) existing inventories of the subject 
                merchandise, or likely increases in inventories,
                    ``(C) the existence of barriers to the importation 
                of such merchandise into countries other than the 
                United States, and
                    ``(D) the potential for product-shifting if 
                production facilities in the foreign country, which can 
                be used to produce the subject merchandise, are 
                currently being used to produce other products.
            ``(3) Price.--In evaluating the likely price effects of 
        imports of the subject merchandise if the order is revoked or 
        the suspended investigation is terminated, the Commission shall 
        consider whether--
                    ``(A) there is likely to be significant price 
                underselling by imports of the subject merchandise as 
                compared to domestic like products, and
                    ``(B) imports of the subject merchandise are likely 
                to enter the United States at prices that otherwise 
                would have a significant depressing or suppressing 
                effect on the price of domestic like products.
            ``(4) Impact on the industry.--In evaluating the likely 
        impact of imports of the subject merchandise on the industry if 
        the order is revoked or the suspended investigation is 
        terminated, the Commission shall consider all relevant economic 
        factors which are likely to have a bearing on the state of the 
        industry in the United States, including, but not limited to--
                    ``(A) likely declines in output, sales, market 
                share, profits, productivity, return on investments, 
                and utilization of capacity,
                    ``(B) likely negative effects on cash flow, 
                inventories, employment, wages, growth, ability to 
                raise capital, and investment, and
                    ``(C) likely negative effects on the existing 
                development and production efforts of the industry, 
                including efforts to develop a derivative or more 
                advanced version of the domestic like product.
        The Commission shall evaluate all relevant economic factors 
        described in this paragraph within the context of the business 
        cycle and the conditions of competition that are distinctive to 
        the affected industry.
            ``(5) Basis for determination.--The presence or absence of 
        any factor which the Commission is required to consider under 
        this subsection shall not necessarily give decisive guidance 
        with respect to the Commission's determination of whether 
        material injury is likely to continue or recur within a 
        reasonably foreseeable time if the order is revoked or the 
        suspended investigation is terminated. In making that 
        determination, the Commission shall consider that the effects 
        of revocation or termination may not be imminent, but may 
        manifest themselves only over a longer period of time.
            ``(6) Magnitude of margin of dumping and net 
        countervailable subsidy; nature of countervailable subsidy.--In 
        making a determination under section 751 (b) or (c), the 
        Commission may consider the magnitude of the margin of dumping 
        or the magnitude of the net countervailable subsidy. If a 
        countervailable subsidy is involved the Commission shall 
        consider information regarding the nature of the 
        countervailable subsidy and whether the subsidy is a subsidy 
        described in Article 3 or 6.1 of the Subsidies Agreement.
            ``(7) Cumulation.--For purposes of this subsection, the 
        Commission may cumulatively assess the volume and effect of 
        imports of the subject merchandise from all countries with 
        respect to which reviews under section 751 (b) or (c) were 
        initiated on the same day, if such imports would be likely to 
        compete with each other and with domestic like products in the 
        United States market. The Commission shall not cumulatively 
        assess the volume and effects of imports of the subject 
        merchandise in a case in which it determines that such imports 
        are likely to have no discernible adverse impact on the 
        domestic industry.
            ``(8) Special rule for regional industries.--In a review 
        under section 751 (b) or (c) involving a regional industry, the 
        Commission may base its determination on the regional industry 
        defined in the original investigation under this title, another 
        region that satisfies the criteria established in section 
        771(4)(C), or the United States as a whole. In determining if a 
        regional industry analysis is appropriate for the determination 
        in the review, the Commission shall consider whether the 
        criteria established in section 771(4)(C) are likely to be 
        satisfied if the order is revoked or the suspended 
        investigation is terminated.
    ``(b) Determination of Likelihood of Continuation or Recurrence of 
a Countervailable Subsidy.--
            ``(1) In general.--In a review conducted under section 
        751(c), the administering authority shall determine whether 
        revocation of a countervailing duty order or termination of a 
        suspended investigation under section 704 would be likely to 
        lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable 
        subsidy. The administering authority shall consider--
                    ``(A) the net countervailable subsidy determined in 
                the investigation and subsequent reviews, and
                    ``(B) whether any change in the program which gave 
                rise to the net countervailable subsidy described in 
                subparagraph (A) has occurred that is likely to affect 
                that net countervailable subsidy.
            ``(2) Consideration of other factors.--If good cause is 
        shown, the administering authority shall also consider--
                    ``(A) programs determined to provide 
                countervailable subsidies in other investigations or 
                reviews under this title, but only to the extent that 
                such programs--
                            ``(i) can potentially be used by the 
                        exporters or producers subject to the review 
                        under section 751(c), and
                            ``(ii) did not exist at the time that the 
                        countervailing duty order was issued or the 
                        suspension agreement was accepted, and
                    ``(B) programs newly alleged to provide 
                countervailable subsidies but only to the extent that 
                the administering authority makes an affirmative 
                countervailing duty determination with respect to such 
                programs and with respect to the exporters or producers 
                subject to the review.
            ``(3) Net countervailable subsidy.--The administering 
        authority shall provide to the Commission the net 
        countervailable subsidy that is likely to prevail if the order 
        is revoked or the suspended investigation is terminated. The 
        administering authority shall normally choose a net 
        countervailable subsidy that was determined under section 705 
        or subsection (a) or (b)(1) of section 751.
            ``(4) Special rule.--
                    ``(A) Treatment of zero and de minimis rates.--A 
                net countervailable subsidy described in paragraph 
                (1)(A) that is zero or de minimis shall not by itself 
                require the administering authority to determine that 
                revocation of a countervailing duty order or 
                termination of a suspended investigation would not be 
                likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a 
                countervailable subsidy.
                    ``(B) Application of de minimis standards.--For 
                purposes of this paragraph, the administering authority 
                shall apply the de minimis standards applicable to 
                reviews conducted under subsections (a) and (b)(1) of 
                section 751.
    ``(c) Determination of Likelihood of Continuation or Recurrence of 
Dumping.--
            ``(1) In general.--In a review conducted under section 
        751(c), the administering authority shall determine whether 
        revocation of an antidumping duty order or termination of a 
        suspended investigation under section 734 would be likely to 
        lead to continuation or recurrence of sales of the subject 
        merchandise at less than fair value. The administering 
        authority shall consider--
                    ``(A) the weighted average dumping margins 
                determined in the investigation and subsequent reviews, 
                and

                merchandise for the period before and the period after 
                the issuance of the antidumping duty order or 
                acceptance of the suspension agreement.

    (a) Industry.--
            (1) In general.--Subparagraphs (A) and (B) of section 
        771(4) (19 U.S.C. 1677(4) (A) and (B)) are amended to read as 
        follows:

                producers as a whole of a domestic like product, or 
                those producers whose collective output of a domestic 
                like product constitutes a major proportion of the 
                total domestic production of the product.

                            ``(i) If a producer of a domestic like 
                        product and an exporter or importer of the 
                        subject merchandise are related parties, or if 
                        a producer of the domestic like product is also 
                        an importer of the subject merchandise, the 
                        producer may, in appropriate circumstances, be 
                        excluded from the industry.

                        producer and an exporter or importer shall be

                                relationship causes the producer to act 
                                differently than a nonrelated producer.

                        shall be considered to directly or indirectly

                        or operationally in a position to exercise 
                        restraint or direction over the other party.''.
            (2) Regional industry.--Section 771(4)(C) (19 U.S.C. 
        1677(4)(C)) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
        sentence: ``The term `regional industry' means the domestic 
        producers within a region who are treated as a separate 
        industry under this subparagraph.''.
    (b) Impact on Affected Domestic Industry.--
            (1) In general.--Section 771(7)(C)(iii) (19 U.S.C. 
        1677(7)(C)(iii)) is amended--
                    (A) by striking ``and'' at the end of subclause 
                (III), and
                    (B) by striking the period at the end of subclause 
                (IV) and inserting ``, and

                                subtitle B, the magnitude of the margin 
                                of dumping.''.
            (2) Captive production.--Section 771(7)(C) (19 U.S.C. 
        1677(7)(C)) is amended by striking clause (iv) and inserting 
        the following:

                        focus primarily on the merchant market for the

            (3) Technical correction.--Section 771(7)(C)(iii) is 
        amended by striking ``subparagraph (B)(iii)'' and inserting 
        ``subparagraph (B)(i)(III)''.
    (c) Determination of Threat of Injury.--Clauses (i) and (ii) of 
section 771(7)(F) (19 U.S.C. 1677(7)(F) (i) and (ii)) are amended to 
read as follows:

                        sales for importation) of the subject

SEC. 224. NORMAL VALUE.

    Section 773 (19 U.S.C. 1677b) is amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 773. NORMAL VALUE.

    ``(a) Determination.--In determining under this title whether 
subject merchandise is being, or is likely to be, sold at less than 
fair value, a fair comparison shall be made between the export price or

comparison with the export price or constructed export price, normal

        sale, and no sale or offer for sale intended to establish a 
        fictitious market, shall be taken into account in determining

        prices at which different forms of the foreign like product are 
        sold (or, in the absence of sales, offered for sale) in the 
        exporting country after the issuance of an antidumping duty

        the subject merchandise may be the constructed value of that 
        merchandise, as determined under subsection (e).

        sale through an affiliated party, the prices at which the 
        foreign like product is sold (or offered for sale) by such

SEC. 229. SAMPLING AND AVERAGING; DETERMINATION OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE 
              DUMPING MARGIN.

    (a) In General.--Section 777A (19 U.S.C. 1677f-1) is amended to 
read as follows:

``SEC. 777A. SAMPLING AND AVERAGING; DETERMINATION OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE 
              DUMPING MARGIN.

    ``(a) In General.--For purposes of determining the export price (or 
constructed export price) under section 772 or the normal value under 
section 773, and in carrying out reviews under section 751, the 
administering authority may--
            ``(1) use averaging and statistically valid samples, if 
        there is a significant volume of sales of the subject 
        merchandise or a significant number or types of products, and
            ``(2) decline to take into account adjustments which are 
        insignificant in relation to the price or value of the 
        merchandise.
    ``(b) Selection of Averages and Samples.--The authority to select 
averages and statistically valid samples shall rest exclusively with 
the administering authority. The administering authority shall, to the 
greatest extent possible, consult with the exporters and producers 
regarding the method to be used to select exporters, producers, or 
types of products under this section.
    ``(c) Determination of Dumping Margin.--
            ``(1) General rule.--In determining weighted average 
        dumping margins under section 733(d), 735(c), or 751(a), the 
        administering authority shall determine the individual weighted 
        average dumping margin for each known exporter and producer of 
        the subject merchandise.
            ``(2) Exception.--If it is not practicable to make 
        individual weighted average dumping margin determinations under 
        paragraph (1) because of the large number of exporters or 
        producers involved in the investigation or review, the 
        administering authority may determine the weighted average 
        dumping margins for a reasonable number of exporters or 
        producers by limiting its examination to--
                    ``(A) a sample of exporters, producers, or types of 
                products that is statistically valid based on the 
                information available to the administering authority at 
                the time of selection, or
                    ``(B) exporters and producers accounting for the 
                largest volume of the subject merchandise from the

                United States at less than fair value--

                        transactions for comparable merchandise.

                comparing the weighted average of the normal values to 
                the export prices (or constructed export prices) of 
                individual transactions for comparable merchandise,

        comparing export prices (or constructed export prices) of 
        individual transactions to the weighted average price of sales 
        of the foreign like product, the administering authority shall 
        limit its averaging of prices to a period not exceeding the 
        calendar month that corresponds most closely to the calendar 
        month of the individual export sale.''.
    (b) Dumping Margin; Weighted Average Dumping Margin.--Section 771 
(19 U.S.C. 1677), as amended by section 222(i), is amended by adding at 
the end the following new paragraph:

                    ``(A) Dumping margin.--The term `dumping margin'

administering authority has, under section 777A(c)(2) or section 
777A(e)(2)(A) (whichever is applicable), limited the number of 
exporters or producers examined, or determined a single country-wide 
rate, the administering authority shall establish an individual 
countervailable subsidy rate or an individual weighted average dumping 
margin for any exporter or producer not initially selected for 
individual examination under such sections who submits to the 
administering authority the information requested from exporters or 
producers selected for examination, if--
            ``(1) such information is so submitted by the date 
        specified--

        submitted such information is not so large that individual 
        examination of such exporters or producers would be unduly 
        burdensome and inhibit the timely completion of the 
        investigation.
    ``(b) Certification of Submissions.--Any person providing factual 
information to the administering authority or the Commission in 
connection with a proceeding under this title on behalf of the 
petitioner or any other interested party shall certify that such 
information is accurate and complete to the best of that person's 
knowledge.

        party, promptly after receiving a request from the 
        administering authority or the Commission for information, 
        notifies the administering authority or the Commission (as the 
        case may be) that such party is unable to submit the 
        information requested in the requested form and manner, 
        together with a full explanation and suggested alternative 
        forms in which such party is able to submit the information, 
        the administering authority or the Commission (as the case may 
        be) shall consider the ability of the interested party to 
        submit the information in the requested form and manner and may 
        modify such requirements to the extent necessary to avoid 
        imposing an unreasonable burden on that party.
            ``(2) Assistance to interested parties.--The administering 
        authority and the Commission shall take into account any 
        difficulties experienced by interested parties, particularly 
        small companies, in supplying information requested by the 
        administering authority or the Commission in connection with 
        investigations and reviews under this title, and shall provide 
        to such interested parties any assistance that is practicable 
        in supplying such information.
    ``(d) Deficient Submissions.--If the administering authority or the 
Commission determines that a response to a request for information 
under this title does not comply with the request, the administering 
authority or the Commission (as the case may be) shall promptly inform 
the person submitting the response of the nature of the deficiency and 
shall, to the extent practicable, provide that person with an 
opportunity to remedy or explain the deficiency in light of the time 
limits established for the completion of investigations or reviews 
under this title. If that person submits further information in 
response to such deficiency and either--
            ``(1) the administering authority or the Commission (as the 
        case may be) finds that such response is not satisfactory, or
            ``(2) such response is not submitted within the applicable 
        time limits,
then the administering authority or the Commission (as the case may be) 
may, subject to subsection (e), disregard all or part of the original 
and subsequent responses.
    ``(e) Use of Certain Information.--In reaching a determination 
under section 703, 705, 733, 735, 751, or 753 the administering 
authority and the Commission shall not decline to consider information 
that is submitted by an interested party and is necessary to the 
determination but does not meet all the applicable requirements 
established by the administering authority or the Commission, if--
            ``(1) the information is submitted by the deadline 
        established for its submission,
            ``(2) the information can be verified,

        serve as a reliable basis for reaching the applicable 
        determination,

        to the best of its ability in providing the information and 
        meeting the requirements established by the administering 
        authority or the Commission with respect to the information, 
        and

        difficulties.
    ``(f) Nonacceptance of Submissions.--If the administering authority 
or the Commission declines to accept into the record any information 
submitted in an investigation or review under this title, it shall, to 
the extent practicable, provide to the person submitting the 
information a written explanation of the reasons for not accepting the 
information.
    ``(g) Public Comment on Information.--Information that is submitted 
on a timely basis to the administering authority or the Commission 
during the course of a proceeding under this title shall be subject to 
comment by other parties to the proceeding within such reasonable time 
as the administering authority or the Commission shall provide. The 
administering authority and the Commission, before making a final 
determination under section 705, 735, 751, or 753 shall cease 
collecting information and shall provide the parties with a final 
opportunity to comment on the information obtained by the administering 
authority or the Commission (as the case may be) upon which the parties 
have not previously had an opportunity to comment. Comments containing 
new factual information shall be disregarded.
    ``(h) Termination of Investigation or Revocation of Order for Lack 
of Interest.--The administering authority may--
            ``(1) terminate an investigation under subtitle A or B with 
        respect to a domestic like product if, prior to publication of 
        an order under section 706 or 736, the administering authority 
        determines that producers accounting for substantially all of 
        the production of that domestic like product have expressed a 
        lack of interest in issuance of an order; and
            ``(2) revoke an order issued under section 706 or 736 with 
        respect to a domestic like product, or terminate an 
        investigation suspended under section 704 or 734 with respect 
        to a domestic like product, if the administering authority 
        determines that producers accounting for substantially all of 
        the production of that domestic like product, have expressed a 
        lack of interest in the order or suspended investigation.
    ``(i) Verification.--The administering authority shall verify all 
information relied upon in making--
            ``(1) a final determination in an investigation,
            ``(2) a revocation under section 751(d), and
            ``(3) a final determination in a review under section 
        751(a), if--

                interested party as defined in section 771(9)(C), (D),

                subparagraph during the 2 immediately preceding reviews 
                and determinations under section 751(a) of the same 
                order, finding, or notice, except that this clause 
                shall not apply if good cause for verification is 
                shown.''.

may be), in reaching the applicable determination under this title, may 
use an inference that is adverse to the interests of that party in

information from independent sources that are reasonably at their 
disposal.''.

        countervailable subsidy with respect to the manufacture, 
        production, or export of a class or kind of merchandise 
        imported, or sold (or likely to be sold) for importation, into 
        the United States, and

        importation,
then there shall be imposed upon such merchandise a countervailing 
duty, in addition to any other duty imposed, equal to the amount of the 
net countervailable subsidy. For purposes of this subsection and 
section 705(b)(1), a reference to the sale of merchandise includes the 
entering into of any leasing arrangement regarding the merchandise that 
is equivalent to the sale of the merchandise.

                countervailable subsidy is de minimis if the 
                administering authority determines that the aggregate 
                of the net countervailable subsidies is less than 1 
                percent ad valorem or the equivalent specific rate for

SEC. 281. SUBSIDIES ENFORCEMENT.

    (a) Assistance Regarding Multilateral Subsidy Remedies.--The 
administering authority shall provide information to the public upon 
request, and, to the extent feasible, assistance and advice to 
interested parties concerning--
            (1) remedies and benefits available under relevant 
        provisions of the Subsidies Agreement, and
            (2) the procedures relating to such remedies and benefits.
    (b) Prohibited Subsidies.--
            (1) Notification of trade representative.--If the 
        administering authority determines pursuant to title VII of the 
        Tariff Act of 1930 that a class or kind of merchandise is 
        benefiting from a subsidy which is prohibited under Article 3 
        of the Subsidies Agreement, the administering authority shall 
        notify the Trade Representative and shall provide the Trade 
        Representative with the information upon which the 
        administering authority based its determination.
            (2) Request by interested party regarding prohibited 
        subsidy.--An interested party may request that the 
        administering authority determine if there is reason to believe 
        that merchandise produced in a WTO member country is benefiting 
        from a subsidy which is prohibited under Article 3 of the 
        Subsidies Agreement. The request shall contain such information 
        as the administering authority may require to support the 
        allegations contained in the request. If the administering 
        authority, after analyzing the request and other information 
        reasonably available to the administering authority, determines 
        that there is reason to believe that such merchandise is 
        benefiting from a subsidy which is prohibited under Article 3 
        of the Subsidies Agreement, the administering authority shall 
        so notify the Trade Representative, and shall include 
        supporting information with the notification.
    (c) Subsidies Actionable Under the Agreement.--
            (1) In general.--If the administering authority determines 
        pursuant to title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 that a class or 
        kind of merchandise is benefiting from a subsidy described in 
        Article 6.1 of the Subsidies Agreement, the administering 
        authority shall notify the Trade Representative, and shall 
        provide the Trade Representative with the information upon 
        which the administering authority based its determination.
            (2) Request by interested party regarding adverse 
        effects.--An interested party may request the administering 
        authority to determine if there is reason to believe that a 
        subsidy which is actionable under the Subsidies Agreement is 
        causing adverse effects. The request shall contain such 
        information as the administering authority may require to 
        support the allegations contained in the request. At the 
        request of the administering authority, the Commission shall 
        assist the administering authority in analyzing the information 
        pertaining to the existence of such adverse effects. If the 
        administering authority, after analyzing the request and other 
        information reasonably available to the administering 
        authority, determines that there is reason to believe that a 
        subsidy which is actionable under the Subsidies Agreement is 
        causing adverse effects, the administering authority shall so 
        notify the Trade Representative, and shall include supporting 
        information with the notification.
    (d) Initiation of Section 301 Investigation.--On the basis of the 
notification and information provided by the administering authority 
pursuant to subsection (b) or (c), such other information as the Trade 
Representative may have or obtain, and where applicable, after 
consultation with an interested party referred to in subsection (b)(2) 
or (c)(2), the Trade Representative shall, unless such interested party 
objects, determine as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with the 
procedures in section 302(b)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2412(b)(1)), whether to initiate an investigation pursuant to title III 
of that Act (19 U.S.C. 2411 et seq.). At the request of the Trade 
Representative, the administering authority and the Commission shall 
assist the Trade Representative in an investigation initiated pursuant 
to this subsection.
    (e) Nonactionable Subsidies.--
            (1) Compliance with article 8 of the subsidies agreement.--
                    (A) Monitoring.--In order to monitor whether a 
                subsidy meets the conditions and criteria described in 
                Article 8.2 of the Subsidies Agreement and is 
                nonactionable, the Trade Representative shall provide 
                the administering authority on a timely basis with any 
                information submitted or report made pursuant to 
                Article 8.3 or 8.4 of the Subsidies Agreement regarding 
                a notified subsidy program. The administering authority 
                shall review such information and reports, and where 
                appropriate, shall recommend to the Trade 
                Representative that the Trade Representative seek 
                pursuant to Article 8.3 or 8.4 of the Subsidies 
                Agreement additional information regarding the notified 
                subsidy program or a subsidy granted pursuant to the 
                notified subsidy program. If the administering 
                authority has reason to believe that a violation of 
                Article 8 of the Subsidies Agreement exists, the 
                administering authority shall so notify the Trade 
                Representative, and shall include supporting 
                information with the notification.
                    (B) Request by interested party regarding violation 
                of article 8.--An interested party may request the 
                administering authority to determine if there is reason 
                to believe that a violation of Article 8 of the 
                Subsidies Agreement exists. The request shall contain 
                such information as the administering authority may 
                require to support the allegations contained in the 
                request. If the administering authority, after 
                analyzing the request and other information reasonably 
                available to the administering authority, determines 
                that additional information is needed, the 
                administering authority shall recommend to the Trade 
                Representative that the Trade Representative seek, 
                pursuant to Article 8.3 or 8.4 of the Subsidies 
                Agreement, additional information regarding the 
                particular notified subsidy program or a subsidy 
                granted pursuant to the notified subsidy program. If 
                the administering authority determines that there is 
                reason to believe that a violation of Article 8 of the 
                Subsidies Agreement exists, the administering authority 
                shall so notify the Trade Representative, and shall 
                include supporting information with the notification.
                    (C) Action by trade representative.--
                            (i) If the Trade Representative, on the 
                        basis of the notification and information 
                        provided by the administering authority 
                        pursuant to subparagraph (A) or (B), and such 
                        other information as the Trade Representative 
                        may have or obtain, and after consulting with 
                        the interested party referred to in 
                        subparagraph (B) and appropriate domestic 
                        industries, determines that there is reason to 
                        believe that a violation of Article 8 of the 
                        Subsidies Agreement exists, the Trade 
                        Representative shall invoke the procedures of 
                        Article 8.4 or 8.5 of the Subsidies Agreement.
                            (ii) For purposes of clause (i), the Trade 
                        Representative shall determine that there is 
                        reason to believe that a violation of Article 8 
                        exists in any case in which the Trade 
                        Representative determines that a notified 
                        subsidy program or a subsidy granted pursuant 
                        to a notified subsidy program does not satisfy 
                        the conditions and criteria required for a 
                        nonactionable subsidy program under this Act, 
                        the Subsidies Agreement, and the statement of 
                        administrative action approved under section 
                        101(a).
                    (D) Notification of administering authority.--The 
                Trade Representative shall notify the administering 
                authority whenever a violation of Article 8 of the 
                Subsidies Agreement has been found to exist pursuant to 
                Article 8.4 or 8.5 of that Agreement.
            (2) Serious adverse effects.--
                    (A) Request by interested party.--An interested 
                party may request the administering authority to 
                determine if there is reason to believe that serious 
                adverse effects resulting from a program referred to in 
                Article 8.2 of the Subsidies Agreement exist. The 
                request shall contain such information as the 
                administering authority may require to support the 
                allegations contained in the request.
                    (B) Action by administering authority.--Within 90 
                days after receipt of the request described in 
                subparagraph (A), the administering authority, after 
                analyzing the request and other information reasonably 
                available to the administering authority, shall 
                determine if there is reason to believe that serious 
                adverse effects resulting from a program referred to in 
                Article 8.2 of the Subsidies Agreement exist. If the 
                determination of the administering authority is 
                affirmative, it shall so notify the Trade 
                Representative and shall include supporting information 
                with the notification. The Commission shall assist the 
                administering authority in analyzing the information 
                pertaining to the existence of such serious adverse 
                effects if the administering authority requests the 
                Commission's assistance. If the subsidy program that is 
                alleged to result in serious adverse effects has been 
                the subject of a countervailing duty investigation or 
                review under subtitle A or C of title VII of the Tariff 
                Act of 1930, the administering authority shall take 
                into account the determinations made by the 
                administering authority and the Commission in such 
                investigation or review and the administering authority 
                shall complete its analysis as expeditiously as 
                possible.
                    (C) Action by trade representative.--The Trade 
                Representative, on the basis of the notification and 
                information provided by the administering authority 
                pursuant to subparagraph (B), and such other 
                information as the Trade Representative may have or 
                obtain, shall determine as expeditiously as possible, 
                but not later than 30 days after receipt of the 
                notification provided by the administering authority, 
                if there is reason to believe that serious adverse 
                effects exist resulting from the subsidy program which 
                is the subject of the administering authority's 
                notification. The Trade Representative shall make an 
                affirmative determination regarding the existence of 
                such serious adverse effects unless the Trade 
                Representative finds that the notification of the 
                administering authority is not supported by the facts.
                    (D) Consultations.--If the Trade Representative 
                determines that there is reason to believe that serious 
                adverse effects resulting from the subsidy program 
                exist, the Trade Representative, unless the interested 
                party referred to in subparagraph (A) objects, shall 
                invoke the procedures of Article 9 of the Subsidies 
                Agreement, and shall request consultations pursuant to 
                Article 9.2 of the Subsidies Agreement with respect to 
                such serious adverse effects. If such consultations 
                have not resulted in a mutually acceptable solution 
                within 60 days after the request is made for such 
                consultations, the Trade Representative shall refer the 
                matter to the Subsidies Committee pursuant to Article 
                9.3 of the Subsidies Agreement.
                    (E) Determination by subsidies committee.--If the 
                Trade Representative determines that--
                            (i) the Subsidies Committee has been 
                        prevented from making an affirmative 
                        determination regarding the existence of 
                        serious adverse effects under Article 9 of the 
                        Subsidies Agreement by reason of the refusal of 
                        the WTO member country with respect to which 
                        the consultations have been invoked to join in 
                        an affirmative consensus--
                                    (I) that such serious adverse 
                                effects exist, or
                                    (II) regarding a recommendation to 
                                such WTO member country to modify the 
                                subsidy program in such a way as to 
                                remove the serious adverse effects, or
                            (ii) the Subsidies Committee has not 
                        presented its conclusions regarding the 
                        existence of such serious adverse effects 
                        within 120 days after the date the matter was 
                        referred to it, as required by Article 9.4 of 
                        the Subsidies Agreement,
                the Trade Representative shall, within 30 days after 
                such determination, make a determination under section 
                304(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
                2414(a)(1)) regarding what action to take under section 
                301(a)(1)(A) of that Act.
                    (F) Noncompliance with committee recommendation.--
                In the event that the Subsidies Committee makes a 
                recommendation under Article 9.4 of the Subsidies 
                Agreement and the WTO member country with respect to 
                which such recommendation is made does not comply with 
                such recommendation within 6 months after the date of 
                the recommendation, the Trade Representative shall make 
                a determination under section 304(a)(1) of the Trade 
                Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2414(a)(1)) regarding what

                effective in identifying and remedying violations of 
                the conditions and criteria described in Article 8.2 of 
                the Agreement, and
                    (C) the extent to which the provisions of Article 9

                programs described in Article 8.2 of the Agreement.
        Not later than 4 years and 6 months after the date of the

receives notice from the Trade Representative that a subsidy or subsidy 
program is in violation of Article 8 of the Subsidies Agreement, then 
the administering authority--
            ``(1) shall include the practice, subsidy, or subsidy 
        program in the proceeding if the practice, subsidy, or subsidy

                benefiting from the subsidy or subsidy program found to 
                have been in violation of Article 8 of the Subsidies

the information public or to authorize its disclosure in generalized or 
summarized form, the Commission may disregard the submission.''.
    (b) Administrative Protective Orders.--Section 202 of the Trade Act 
of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2252) is amended by adding at the end the following:

        imports of the article identified in the petition, the 
        Commission shall, not later than 60 days after the petition

                imports (either actual or relative to domestic 
                production) of the article are a substantial cause of 
                serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic 
                industry producing an article like or directly 
                competitive with the imported article; and
                    ``(ii) delay in taking action under this chapter 
                would cause damage to that industry that would be 
                difficult to repair.
            ``(B) If the determinations under subparagraph (A)(i) and 
        (ii) are affirmative, the Commission shall find the amount or 
        extent of provisional relief that is necessary to prevent or

        prevent or remedy the serious injury.
            ``(C) The Commission shall immediately report to the 
        President its determinations under subparagraph (A)(i) and (ii)

        subparagraph (B).

        Commission under subparagraph (C) containing an affirmative 
        determination under subparagraph (A)(i) and (ii), the 
        President, if he considers provisional relief to be warranted 
        and after taking into account the finding of the Commission 
        under subparagraph (B), shall proclaim, for a period not to 
        exceed 200 days, such provisional relief that the President 
        considers necessary to prevent or remedy the serious injury. 
        Such relief shall take the form of an increase in, or the 
        imposition of, a duty on imports, if such form of relief is 
        feasible and would prevent or remedy the serious injury.''.

        possession, and is the growth, product, or manufacture of that 
        country, territory, or insular possession, if--
                    (A) the product is wholly obtained or produced in 
                that country, territory, or possession;

                    (C) the product is a fabric, including a fabric 
                classified under chapter 59 of the HTS, and the 
                constituent fibers, filaments, or yarns are woven, 
                knitted, needled, tufted, felted, entangled, or 
                transformed by any other fabric-making process in that 
                country, territory, or possession; or

                product that is wholly assembled in that country, 
                territory, or possession from its component pieces.
            (2) Special rules.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(D)--

                growth, product, or manufacture of, the country, 
                territory, or possession in which it is knit.
            (3) Multicountry rule.--If the origin of a good cannot be

                the most important assembly or manufacturing process

                under subparagraph (A), the last country, territory, or 
                possession in which important assembly or manufacturing

        practices in effect immediately before the enactment of this 
        Act, would have originated in, or been the growth, product, or 
        manufacture of, a country that is a party to an agreement with 
        the United States establishing a free trade area, which entered 
        into force before January 1, 1987. For such purposes, such

        the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2); and

therein may file with the Copyright Office a notice of intent to 
enforce that person's copyright or exclusive right or may serve such a 
notice directly on a reliance party. Acceptance of a notice by the 
Copyright Office is effective as to any reliance parties but shall not 
create a presumption of the validity of any of the facts stated 
therein. Service on a reliance party is effective as to that reliance 
party and any other reliance parties with actual knowledge of such 
service and of the contents of that notice.

SEC. 521. DEFINITION OF ``ABANDONED''.

    Section 45 of the Act entitled ``An Act to provide for the 
registration and protection of trade-marks used in commerce, to carry 
out the provisions of certain international conventions, and for other 
purposes'', approved July 5, 1946 (15 U.S.C. 1127) (hereafter in this 
title referred to as the ``Trademark Act of 1946''), is amended by 
amending the paragraph defining ``abandoned'' to read as follows:
    ``A mark shall be deemed to be `abandoned' if either of the 
following occurs:
            ``(1) When its use has been discontinued with intent not to 
        resume such use. Intent not to resume may be inferred from 
        circumstances. Nonuse for 3 consecutive years shall be prima 
        facie evidence of abandonment. `Use' of a mark means the bona 
        fide use of such mark made in the ordinary course of trade, and 
        not made merely to reserve a right in a mark.
            ``(2) When any course of conduct of the owner, including 
        acts of omission as well as commission, causes the mark to 
        become the generic name for the goods or services on or in 
        connection with which it is used or otherwise to lose its 
        significance as a mark. Purchaser motivation shall not be a 
        test for determining abandonment under this paragraph.''.

              WINES AND SPIRITS.

1052(a)) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(a) Consists of or comprises immoral, deceptive, or scandalous 
matter; or matter which may disparage or falsely suggest a connection 
with persons, living or dead, institutions, beliefs, or national 
symbols, or bring them into contempt, or disrepute; or a geographical 
indication which, when used on or in connection with wines or spirits, 
identifies a place other than the origin of the goods and is first used 
on or in connection with wines or spirits by the applicant on or after 
one year after the date on which the WTO Agreement (as defined in 
section 2(9) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act) enters into force 
with respect to the United States.''.

demonstrates to the satisfaction of the corporation that the Social 
Security Administration has determined that the participant satisfies 
the definition of disability under title II or XVI of the Social 
Security Act, and the regulations thereunder. If a benefit payable by 
reason of disability is converted to an early or normal retirement
