            ``(1) the administering authority determines that a foreign 
        vessel has been sold directly or indirectly to one or more 
        United States buyers at less than its fair value, and
            ``(2) the Commission determines that--
                    ``(A) an industry in the United States--
                            ``(i) is or has been materially injured, or
                            ``(ii) is threatened with material injury,

                United States is or has been materially retarded,
        by reason of the sale of such vessel, then there shall be 
        imposed upon the foreign producer of the subject vessel an 
        injurious pricing charge, in an amount equal to the amount by 
        which the normal value exceeds the export price for the vessel. 
        For purposes of this subsection and section 805(b)(1), a 
        reference to the sale of a foreign vessel includes the creation 
        or transfer of an ownership interest in the vessel, except for 
        an ownership interest created or acquired solely for the 
        purpose of providing security for a normal commercial loan.
    ``(b) Foreign Vessels Not Merchandise.--No foreign vessel may be 
considered to be, or to be part of, a class or kind of merchandise for 
purposes of subtitle B of title VII.

``SEC. 802. PROCEDURES FOR INITIATING AN INJURIOUS PRICING 
              INVESTIGATION.

    ``(a) Initiation by Administering Authority.--
            ``(1) General rule.--Except in the case in which subsection 
        (d)(6) applies, an injurious pricing investigation shall be 
        initiated whenever the administering authority determines, from 
        information available to it, that a formal investigation is 
        warranted into the question of whether the elements necessary 
        for the imposition of a charge under section 801(a) exist, and 
        whether a producer described in section 861(17)(C) would meet 
        the criteria of subsection (b)(1)(B) for a petitioner.
            ``(2) Time for initiation by administering authority.--An 
        investigation may only be initiated under paragraph (1) within 
        6 months after the time the administering authority first knew 
        or should have known of the sale of the vessel. Any period in 
        which subsection (d)(6)(A) applies shall not be included in 
        calculating that 6-month period.
    ``(b) Initiation by Petition.--
            ``(1) Petition requirements.--(A) Except in a case in which 
        subsection (d)(6) applies, an injurious pricing proceeding 
        shall be initiated whenever an interested party, as defined in 
        subparagraph (C), (D), (E), or (F) of section 861(17), files a 
        petition with the administering authority, on behalf of an 
        industry, which alleges the elements necessary for the 
        imposition of an injurious pricing charge under section 801(a) 
        and the elements required under subparagraph (B), (C), (D), or 
        (E) of this paragraph, and which is accompanied by information 
        reasonably available to the petitioner supporting those 
        allegations and identifying the transaction concerned.
            ``(B)(i) If the petitioner is a producer described in 
        section 861(17)(C), and--
                    ``(I) if the vessel was sold through a broad 
                multiple bid, the petition shall include information 
                indicating that the petitioner was invited to tender a 
                bid on the contract at issue, the petitioner actually 
                did so, and the bid of the petitioner substantially met 
                the delivery date and technical requirements of the 
                bid,

                process other than a broad multiple bid and the

                at issue, the petition shall include information 
                indicating that the petitioner actually did so and the 
                bid of the petitioner substantially met the delivery 
                date and technical requirements of the bid, or

                sold through a broad multiple bid, if there is no 
                invitation to tender a bid, the petition shall include 
                information indicating that the petitioner was capable 
                of building the vessel concerned and, if the petitioner 
                knew or should have known of the proposed purchase, it 
                made demonstrable efforts to conclude a sale with the 
                United States buyer consistent with the delivery date 
                and technical requirements of the buyer.
            ``(ii) For purposes of clause (i)(III), there is a 
        rebuttable presumption that the petitioner knew or should have 
        known of the proposed purchase if it is demonstrated that--

                available from brokers, financiers, classification 
                societies, charterers, trade associations, or other 
                entities normally involved in shipbuilding transactions 
                with whom the petitioner had regular contacts or 
                dealings.

        section 861(17)(D), the petition shall include information 
        indicating that members of the union or group of workers 
        described in that section are employed by a producer that meets 
        the requirements of subparagraph (B) of this paragraph.

        section 861(17)(E), the petition shall include information 
        indicating that a member of the association described in that 
        section is a producer that meets the requirements of 
        subparagraph (B) of this paragraph.

        this paragraph.

        such conditions, as the administering authority and the

        investigation under either subsection (a) or (b), the 
        administering authority shall notify the government of the 
        exporting country of the investigation. In the case of the 
        initiation of an investigation under subsection (b), such 
        notification shall include a public version of the petition.

        communication from any person other than an interested party 
        described in section 861(17)(C), (D), (E), or (F) before the 
        administering authority makes its decision whether to initiate 
        an investigation pursuant to a petition, except for inquiries 
        regarding the status of the administering authority's 
        consideration of the petition or a request for consultation by 
        the government of the exporting country.

        administering authority and the Commission shall not disclose

    ``(a) Export Price.--For purposes of this title, the term `export 
price' means the price at which the subject vessel is first sold (or 
agreed to be sold) by or for the account of the foreign producer of the 
subject vessel to an unaffiliated United States buyer. The term `sold 
(or agreed to be sold) by or for the account of the foreign producer' 
includes any transfer of an ownership interest, including by way of 
lease or long-term bareboat charter, in conjunction with the original 
transfer from the producer, either directly or indirectly, to a United 
States buyer.
    ``(b) Adjustments to Export Price.--The price used to establish 
export price shall be--

    ``(a) Determination.--In determining under this title whether a 
subject vessel has been sold at less than fair value, a fair comparison 
shall be made between the export price and normal value of the subject 
vessel. In order to achieve a fair comparison with the export price, 
normal value shall be determined as follows:

        intended to establish a fictitious market, shall be taken into 
        account in determining normal value.

        authority determines that the normal value of the subject

        recovery of all costs within 5 years, such sale may be 
        disregarded in the determination of normal value. Whenever such

subject vessel by reference to the normal value at which a foreign like 
vessel is sold from one or more facilities outside the exporting

                        commercial production levels have been 
                        achieved, the administering authority shall 
                        consider factors unrelated to startup 
                        operations that might affect the volume of 
                        production processed, such as demand,

                        unit production costs incurred with respect to 
                        the vessel at the end of the startup period for 
                        the unit production costs incurred during the 
                        startup period. If the startup period extends 
                        beyond the period of the investigation under 
                        this title, the administering authority shall 
                        use the most recent cost of production data 
                        that it reasonably can obtain, analyze, and 
                        verify without delaying the timely completion 
                        of the investigation. For purposes of this 
                        subparagraph, the startup period ends at the 
                        point at which the level of commercial 
                        production that is characteristic of the 
                        vessel, the producer, or the industry is 
                        achieved.
                    ``(D) Costs due to extraordinary circumstances not 
                included.--Costs shall not include actual costs which 
                are due to extraordinary circumstances (including, but 
                not limited to, labor disputes, fire, and natural 
                disasters) and which are significantly over the cost 
                increase which the shipbuilder could have reasonably 
                anticipated and taken into account at the time of sale.
            ``(2) Transactions disregarded.--A transaction directly or 
        indirectly between affiliated persons may be disregarded if, in 
        the case of any element of value required to be considered, the 
        amount representing that element does not fairly reflect the 
        amount usually reflected in sales of a like vessel in the 
        market under consideration. If a transaction is disregarded 
        under the preceding sentence and no other transactions are 
        available for consideration, the determination of the amount 
        shall be based on the information available as to what the 
        amount would have been if the transaction had occurred between 
        persons who are not affiliated.
            ``(3) Major input rule.--If, in the case of a transaction 
        between affiliated persons involving the production by one of 
        such persons of a major input to the subject vessel, the 
        administering authority has reasonable grounds to believe or 
        suspect that an amount represented as the value of such input 
        is less than the cost of production of such input, then the 
        administering authority may determine the value of the major 
        input on the basis of the information available regarding such 
        cost of production, if such cost is greater than the amount 
        that would be determined for such input under paragraph (2).

``SEC. 823. CURRENCY CONVERSION.

    ``(a) In General.--In an injurious pricing proceeding under this 
title, the administering authority shall convert foreign currencies 
into United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect on the 
date of sale of the subject vessel, except that if it is established 
that a currency transaction on forward markets is directly linked to a 
sale under consideration, the exchange rate specified with respect to 
such foreign currency in the forward sale agreement shall be used to 
convert the foreign currency.
    ``(b) Date of Sale.--For purposes of this section, `date of sale' 
means the date of the contract of sale or, where appropriate, the date 
on which the material terms of sale are otherwise established. If the 
material terms of sale are significantly changed after such date, the 
date of sale is the date of such change. In the case of such a change 
in the date of sale, the administering authority shall make appropriate 
adjustments to take into account any unreasonable effect on the 
injurious pricing margin due only to fluctuations in the exchange rate 
between the original date of sale and the new date of sale.

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

corroborate that information from independent sources that are

        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,

        forms in which such party is able to submit the information,

        be) shall consider the ability of the interested party to 
        submit the information in the requested form and manner and may

        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 under this title, and shall provide to such 
        interested parties any assistance that is practicable in 
        supplying such information.
    ``(c) 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--

may, subject to subsection (d), disregard all or part of the original 
and subsequent responses.
    ``(d) Use of Certain Information.--In reaching a determination 
under section 803, 805, or 807, 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--

        established for its submission,

        serve as a reliable basis for reaching the applicable 
        determination,

        to the best of its ability in providing the information and

        difficulties.

or the Commission declines to accept into the record any information 
submitted in an investigation 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.
    ``(f) 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 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 805 or 807, 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.
    ``(g) Verification.--The administering authority shall verify all 
information relied upon in making a final determination under section 
805.

        foreign countries, political subdivisions, dependent 
        territories, or possessions of countries into a customs union 
        outside the United States.
            ``(4) Industry.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Except as used in section 808, 
                the term `industry' means the producers as a whole of a 
                domestic like vessel, or those producers whose 
                collective capability to produce a domestic like vessel 
                constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic 
                capability to produce a domestic like vessel.
                    ``(B) Producer.--A `producer' of a domestic like 
                vessel includes an entity that is producing the 
                domestic like vessel and an entity with the capability 
                to produce the domestic like vessel.
                    ``(C) Capability to produce a domestic like 
                vessel.--A producer has the `capability to produce a 
                domestic like vessel' if it is capable of producing a 
                domestic like vessel with its present facilities or 
                could adapt its facilities in a timely manner to 
                produce a domestic like vessel.

                under this title, if a producer of a domestic like 
                vessel and the foreign producer, seller (other than the 
                foreign producer), or United States buyer of the 
                subject vessel are related parties, or if a producer of 
                a domestic like vessel is also a United States buyer of 
                the subject vessel, the domestic producer may, in 
                appropriate circumstances, be excluded from the 
                industry.

                        indirectly controls the foreign producer,

                        indirectly controls the domestic producer and 
                        the foreign producer, seller, or United States 
                        buyer, or

                        party and there is reason to believe that the 
                        relationship causes the producer to act 
                        differently than a nonrelated producer.
                For purposes of this subparagraph, a party shall be 
                considered to directly or indirectly control another 
                party if the party is legally or operationally in a 
                position to exercise restraint or direction over the 
                other party.
                    ``(E) Product lines.--In an investigation under 
                this title, the effect of the sale of the subject 
                vessel shall be assessed in relation to the United 
                States production (or production capability) of a 
                domestic like vessel if available data permit the 
                separate identification of production (or production 
                capability) in terms of such criteria as the production 
                process or the producer's profits. If the domestic 
                production (or production capability) of a domestic 
                like vessel has no separate identity in terms of such 
                criteria, then the effect of the sale shall be assessed 
                by the examination of the production (or production 
                capability) of the narrowest group or range of vessels, 
                which includes a domestic like vessel, for which the 
                necessary information can be provided.
            ``(5) Buyer.--The term `buyer' means any person who 
        acquires an ownership interest in a vessel, including by way of 
        lease or long-term bareboat charter, in conjunction with the 
        original transfer from the producer, either directly or 
        indirectly, including an individual or company which owns or 
        controls a buyer. There may be more than one buyer of any one 
        vessel.
            ``(6) United states buyer.--The term `United States buyer' 
        means a buyer that is any of the following:
                    ``(A) A United States citizen.
                    ``(B) A juridical entity, including any 
                corporation, company, association, or other 
                organization, that is legally constituted under the 
                laws and regulations of the United States or a 
                political subdivision thereof, regardless of whether 
                the entity is organized for pecuniary gain, privately 
                or government owned, or organized with limited or 
                unlimited liability.

                controlled by nationals or entities described in

                        ability to have substantial influence on 
                        corporate behavior, and control is presumed to 
                        exist where there is at least a 25 percent 
                        interest.
                If ownership of a company is established under clause 
                (i), other control is presumed not to exist unless it 
                is otherwise established.
            ``(7) Ownership interest.--An `ownership interest' in a 
        vessel includes any contractual or proprietary interest which 
        allows the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such interest to 
        take advantage of the operation of the vessel in a manner 
        substantially comparable to the way in which an owner may 
        benefit from the operation of the vessel. In determining 
        whether such substantial comparability exists, the 
        administering authority shall consider--
                    ``(A) the terms and circumstances of the 
                transaction which conveys the interest,
                    ``(B) commercial practice,

                is integrated into the operations of the beneficiary or 
                beneficiaries, and
                    ``(D) whether in practice there is a likelihood 
                that the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such interests 
                will take advantage of and the risk for the operation 
                of the vessel for a significant part of the life-time 
                of the vessel.

        information available to it, that a formal investigation is 
        warranted into the question of whether the elements necessary 
        for the imposition of a charge under section 801(a) exist, and 
        whether a producer described in section 861(17)(C) would meet 
        the criteria of subsection (b)(1)(B) for a petitioner.

        investigation may only be initiated under paragraph (1) within

        (E) of this paragraph, and which is accompanied by information

price' means the price at which the subject vessel is first sold (or 
agreed to be sold) by or for the account of the foreign producer of the 
subject vessel to an unaffiliated United States buyer. The term `sold 
(or agreed to be sold) by or for the account of the foreign producer'

    ``(a) Determination.--In determining under this title whether a 
subject vessel has been sold at less than fair value, a fair comparison

normal value shall be determined as follows:

        intended to establish a fictitious market, shall be taken into 
        account in determining normal value.

        authority determines that the normal value of the subject

        cost of production and was not at a price which permits 
        recovery of all costs within 5 years, such sale may be 
        disregarded in the determination of normal value. Whenever such 
        a sale is disregarded, normal value shall be based on another 
        sale of a foreign like vessel in the ordinary course of trade.

        For purposes of subparagraph (A), if the normal value is based 
        on the price of the foreign like vessel sold in a country other 
        than the exporting country, the cost of materials shall be 
        determined without regard to any internal tax in the exporting

        higher than the normal value of the foreign like vessel 
        produced in the facilities located in the exporting country,
the administering authority shall determine the normal value of the 
subject vessel by reference to the normal value at which a foreign like 
vessel is sold from one or more facilities outside the exporting 
country. The administering authority, in making any determination under 
this subsection, shall make adjustments for the difference between the 
costs of production (including taxes, labor, materials, and overhead) 
of the foreign like vessel produced in facilities outside the exporting 
country and costs of production of the foreign like vessel produced in

        the producer of the subject vessel or, absent such sales, to 
        export sales by other producers of a foreign like vessel or the 
        same general category of vessel as the subject vessel in the

        regard to any internal tax in the exporting country imposed on 
        such materials or their disposition which are remitted or 
        refunded upon exportation of the subject vessel produced from 
        such materials.

                costs, including that which is made available by the 
                foreign producer on a timely basis, if such allocations 
                have been historically used by the foreign producer, in

of the startup period. In determining whether commercial production 
levels have been achieved, the administering authority shall consider 
factors unrelated to startup operations that might affect the volume of 
production processed, such as demand, seasonality, or business cycles.

                        point at which the level of commercial 
                        production that is characteristic of the 
                        vessel, the producer, or the industry is

                increase which the shipbuilder could have reasonably 
                anticipated and taken into account at the time of sale.

        indirectly between affiliated persons may be disregarded if, in 
        the case of any element of value required to be considered, the 
        amount representing that element does not fairly reflect the 
        amount usually reflected in sales of a like vessel in the 
        market under consideration. If a transaction is disregarded 
        under the preceding sentence and no other transactions are 
        available for consideration, the determination of the amount 
        shall be based on the information available as to what the

        suspect that an amount represented as the value of such input 
        is less than the cost of production of such input, then the 
        administering authority may determine the value of the major 
        input on the basis of the information available regarding such 
        cost of production, if such cost is greater than the amount 
        that would be determined for such input under paragraph (2).

``SEC. 823. CURRENCY CONVERSION.

    ``(a) In General.--In an injurious pricing proceeding under this 
title, the administering authority shall convert foreign currencies 
into United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect on the 
date of sale of the subject vessel, except that if it is established 
that a currency transaction on forward markets is directly linked to a 
sale under consideration, the exchange rate specified with respect to 
such foreign currency in the forward sale agreement shall be used to 
convert the foreign currency.
    ``(b) Date of Sale.--For purposes of this section, `date of sale' 
means the date of the contract of sale or, where appropriate, the date 
on which the material terms of sale are otherwise established. If the 
material terms of sale are significantly changed after such date, the 
date of sale is the date of such change. In the case of such a change 
in the date of sale, the administering authority shall make appropriate 
adjustments to take into account any unreasonable effect on the 
injurious pricing margin due only to fluctuations in the exchange rate 
between the original date of sale and the new date of sale.

title, upon the request of any party to the investigation, before 
making a final determination under section 805.
    ``(b) Procedures.--Any hearing required or permitted under this 
title shall be conducted after notice published in the Federal

        to section 844(c), use the facts otherwise available in 
        reaching the applicable determination under this title.
    ``(b) Adverse Inferences.--If the administering authority or the 
Commission (as the case may be) finds that an interested party has 
failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply 
with a request for information from the administering authority or the 
Commission, the administering authority or the Commission (as the case 
may be), in reaching the applicable determination under this title, may 
use an inference that is adverse to the interests of that party in 
selecting from among the facts otherwise available. Such adverse 
inference may include reliance on information derived from--
            ``(1) the petition, or
            ``(2) any other information placed on the record.
    ``(c) Corroboration of Secondary Information.--When the

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

information is accurate and complete to the best of that person's 
knowledge.
    ``(b) Difficulties in Meeting Requirements.--
            ``(1) Notification by interested party.--If an interested 
        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 under this title, and shall provide to such 
        interested parties any assistance that is practicable in 
        supplying such information.
    ``(c) 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

        time limits,
then the administering authority or the Commission (as the case may be) 
may, subject to subsection (d), disregard all or part of the original 
and subsequent responses.
    ``(d) Use of Certain Information.--In reaching a determination 
under section 803, 805, or 807, 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,
            ``(3) the information is not so incomplete that it cannot 
        serve as a reliable basis for reaching the applicable 
        determination,
            ``(4) the interested party has demonstrated that it acted 
        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,

        difficulties.
    ``(e) Nonacceptance of Submissions.--If the administering authority 
or the Commission declines to accept into the record any information 
submitted in an investigation 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.
    ``(f) 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 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 805 or 807, 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.
    ``(g) Verification.--The administering authority shall verify all 
information relied upon in making a final determination under section 
805.

        outside the United States.
            ``(4) Industry.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Except as used in section 808, 
                the term `industry' means the producers as a whole of a 
                domestic like vessel, or those producers whose 
                collective capability to produce a domestic like vessel

                capability to produce a domestic like vessel.
                    ``(B) Producer.--A `producer' of a domestic like 
                vessel includes an entity that is producing the 
                domestic like vessel and an entity with the capability 
                to produce the domestic like vessel.
                    ``(C) Capability to produce a domestic like 
                vessel.--A producer has the `capability to produce a 
                domestic like vessel' if it is capable of producing a

                could adapt its facilities in a timely manner to 
                produce a domestic like vessel.

                under this title, if a producer of a domestic like 
                vessel and the foreign producer, seller (other than the 
                foreign producer), or United States buyer of the

                a domestic like vessel is also a United States buyer of 
                the subject vessel, the domestic producer may, in 
                appropriate circumstances, be excluded from the 
                industry.

                        buyer directly or indirectly control a third 
                        party and there is reason to believe that the 
                        relationship causes the producer to act 
                        differently than a nonrelated producer.
                For purposes of this subparagraph, a party shall be 
                considered to directly or indirectly control another 
                party if the party is legally or operationally in a 
                position to exercise restraint or direction over the 
                other party.

                this title, the effect of the sale of the subject 
                vessel shall be assessed in relation to the United 
                States production (or production capability) of a 
                domestic like vessel if available data permit the 
                separate identification of production (or production 
                capability) in terms of such criteria as the production 
                process or the producer's profits. If the domestic 
                production (or production capability) of a domestic 
                like vessel has no separate identity in terms of such 
                criteria, then the effect of the sale shall be assessed 
                by the examination of the production (or production 
                capability) of the narrowest group or range of vessels, 
                which includes a domestic like vessel, for which the 
                necessary information can be provided.
            ``(5) Buyer.--The term `buyer' means any person who 
        acquires an ownership interest in a vessel, including by way of 
        lease or long-term bareboat charter, in conjunction with the 
        original transfer from the producer, either directly or 
        indirectly, including an individual or company which owns or 
        controls a buyer. There may be more than one buyer of any one 
        vessel.
            ``(6) United states buyer.--The term `United States buyer' 
        means a buyer that is any of the following:
                    ``(A) A United States citizen.
                    ``(B) A juridical entity, including any 
                corporation, company, association, or other 
                organization, that is legally constituted under the 
                laws and regulations of the United States or a 
                political subdivision thereof, regardless of whether 
                the entity is organized for pecuniary gain, privately 
                or government owned, or organized with limited or 
                unlimited liability.

                controlled by nationals or entities described in

                        ability to have substantial influence on 
                        corporate behavior, and control is presumed to 
                        exist where there is at least a 25 percent 
                        interest.
                If ownership of a company is established under clause 
                (i), other control is presumed not to exist unless it 
                is otherwise established.

``, except that, with respect to Export Credit Understanding vessels 
and Shipbuilding Agreement vessels, the Secretary may establish by 
rule, regulation, or procedure a uniform percentage that the Secretary 
determines to be consistent with obligations of the United States under

case may be.''.

SEC. 205. APPLICABILITY OF TITLE XI AMENDMENTS.

    (a) Effective Date.--
            (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any provision of the 
        Shipbuilding Agreement or the Export Credit Understanding, the 
        amendments made by paragraph (8) of section 204 shall not apply 
        with respect to any commitment to guarantee made under title XI 
        of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, before January 1, 1999, with 
        respect to a vessel delivered--
                    (A) before January 1, 2002, or
                    (B) in the case of unusual circumstances to which 
                paragraph (2) applies, as soon after January 1, 2002, 
                as is practicable.
            (2) Unusual circumstances.--This paragraph applies in a 
        case in which unusual circumstances beyond the control of the 
        parties concerned prevent the delivery of a vessel by January 
        1, 2002. As used in this paragraph, the term ``unusual 
        circumstances'' means acts of God (other than ordinary storms 
        or inclement weather conditions), labor strikes, acts of 
        sabotage, explosions, fires, or vandalism, and similar 
        circumstances.

SEC. 206. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE AGREEMENT.

    (a) Withdrawal.--
            (1) Notice.--The President shall give notice, under Article 
        14 of the Shipbuilding Agreement, of intent of the United 
        States to withdraw from the Shipbuilding Agreement, as soon as 
        is practicable after one or more Shipbuilding Agreement Parties 
        give notice, under such article, of intent to withdraw from the 
        Shipbuilding Agreement, if paragraph (2) applies.
            (2) Tonnage of new construction in withdrawing parties.--
        This paragraph applies if the combined gross tonnage of new 
        Shipbuilding Agreement vessels constructed in all Shipbuilding 
        Agreement Parties who have given notice to withdraw from the 
        Shipbuilding Agreement, which were delivered in the calendar 
        year preceding the calendar year in which the notice is given, 
        is 15 percent or more of the gross tonnage of new Shipbuilding 
        Agreement vessels that were constructed in all Shipbuilding 
        Agreement Parties and were delivered in the calendar year 
        preceding the calendar year in which the notice is given.
            (3) Termination of withdrawal.--If a Shipbuilding Agreement 
        Party described in paragraph (2) takes action to terminate its 
        withdrawal from the Shipbuilding Agreement, so that paragraph 
        (2) would not apply if that Party had not given the notice to 
        withdraw, the President may take the necessary steps to 
        terminate the notice of withdrawal of the United States from 
        the Shipbuilding Agreement.
    (b) Reinstatement of Laws.--If the United States withdraws from the 
Shipbuilding Agreement, on the date on which such withdrawal becomes 
effective, the amendments made by section 204 shall be deemed not to 
have been made, and the provisions of law amended by section 204 shall, 
on and after such date, be effective as if this Act had not been 
enacted.

SEC. 207. OTHER LAWS NOT AFFECTED.

    The Shipbuilding Agreement shall not affect, directly or 
indirectly, the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, the Act of June 19, 1886 (46 
U.S.C. App. 289), or any other provision of law set forth in 
Accompanying Note 2 to Annex II to the Shipbuilding Agreement, and 
shall not provide any mechanism to subject any producer of vessels in 
the United States to financial penalties, duties, bid restrictions, 
unfavorable bid preferences, or withdrawal of concessions under the 
GATT 1994 or other Uruguay Round Agreements, in the competition for 
international commercial vessel construction or reconstruction orders 
because of construction of vessels by United States shipbuilders for 
operation in the coastwise trade of the United States.

SEC. 208. PROTECTION OF UNITED STATES INTERESTS.

    Nothing in the Shipbuilding Agreement shall be construed to prevent 
the United States from taking any action which it considers necessary 
for the protection of essential security interests or from invoking its 
sovereign autority to define, for purposes of exclusion from coverage 
under the Shipbuilding Agreement and from any dispute or challenge 
based on Annex I to the Shipbuilding Agreement, ``military vessel'', 
``military reserve vessel'', or ``essential security interest'' on a 
case by case basis, as determined by the Secretary of Defense.
