    (a) Retroactive Assessment of Duties.--In any case in which

pursuant to subtitle B of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930, the 
Secretary of Commerce shall, in addition to assessing such duties on 
entries made after the effective date of the antidumping order imposing 
the duties, assess such duties on entries made prior to that effective 
date for such period as the dumping occurred prior to the issuance of 
the order, but in no case earlier than 1 year before the date on 
which--
            (1) the applicable petition was filed under section 732(b) 
        of the Tariff Act of 1930, or
            (2) the Secretary initiated the investigation under section 
        732(a) of that Act with respect to which the antidumping order 
        was issued,
as the case may be.
    (b) Applicability.--Subsection (a) applies to any antidumping 
proceeding initiated on or after September 1, 1998.
