        person.
    (h) Packaging Materials and Containers for Retail Sale.--Packaging 
materials and containers in which a good is packaged for retail sale, 
if classified with the good, shall be disregarded in determining 
whether all nonoriginating materials used in the production of the good 
undergo the applicable change in tariff classification set out in Annex 
4.1 of the Agreement, and, if the good is subject to a regional value-
content requirement, the value of such packaging materials and 
containers shall be taken into account as originating or nonoriginating 
materials, as the case may be, in calculating the regional value-
content of the good.
    (i) Packing Materials and Containers for Shipment.--Packing

            (2) the good satisfies a regional value-content 
        requirement.

to be an originating material without regard to where it is produced.
    (k) Transit and Transshipment.--A good that has undergone 
production necessary to qualify as an originating good under subsection 
(a) shall not be considered to be an originating good if, subsequent to 
that production, the good undergoes further production or any other 
operation outside the territory of Chile or the United States, other 
than unloading, reloading, or any other process necessary to preserve

Agreement, textile and apparel goods classifiable as goods put up in 
sets for retail sale as provided for in General Rule of Interpretation 
3 of the Harmonized System shall not be considered to be originating

percent of the value of the set determined for purposes of assessing 
customs duties.

                is to terminate, the Commission shall conduct an 
                investigation to determine whether action under this 
                section continues to be necessary to remedy or prevent 
                serious injury and whether there is evidence that the 
                industry is making a positive adjustment to import 
                competition.

SEC. 322. DETERMINATION AND PROVISION OF RELIEF.

    (a) Determination.--
            (1) In general.--If a positive determination is made under 
        section 321(b), the President shall determine whether, as a 
        result of the elimination of a duty under the Agreement, a 
        Chilean textile or apparel article is being imported into the 
        United States in such increased quantities, in absolute terms 
        or relative to the domestic market for that article, and under 
        such conditions as to cause serious damage, or actual threat 
        thereof, to a domestic industry producing an article that is 
        like, or directly competitive with, the imported article.
            (2) Serious damage.--In making a determination under 
        paragraph (1), the President--
                    (A) shall examine the effect of increased imports 
                on the domestic industry, as reflected in changes in 
                such relevant economic factors as output, productivity, 
                utilization of capacity, inventories, market share, 
                exports, wages, employment, domestic prices, profits, 
                and investment, none of which is necessarily decisive; 
                and
                    (B) shall not consider changes in technology or 
                consumer preference as factors supporting a 
                determination of serious damage or actual threat 
                thereof.
    (b) Provision of Relief.--
            (1) In general.--If a determination under subsection (a) is 
        affirmative, the President may provide relief from imports of 
        the article that is the subject of such determination, as 
        provided in paragraph (2), to the extent that the President 
        determines necessary to remedy or prevent the serious damage 
        and to facilitate adjustment by the domestic industry.
            (2) Nature of relief.--The relief that the President is 
        authorized to provide under this subsection with respect to 
        imports of an article is an increase in the rate of duty 
        imposed on the article to a level that does not exceed the 
        lesser of--
                    (A) the column 1 general rate of duty imposed under 
                the HTS on like articles at the time the import relief 
                is provided; or
                    (B) the column 1 general rate of duty imposed under 
                the HTS on like articles on the day before the date on 
                which the Agreement enters into force.

SEC. 323. PERIOD OF RELIEF.

    (a) In General.--The import relief that the President is authorized 
to provide under section 322, including any extensions thereof, may 
not, in the aggregate, exceed 3 years.
    (b) Extension.--If the initial period for any import relief 
provided under this section is less than 3 years, the President may 
extend the effective period of any import relief provided under this 
section, subject to the limitation set forth in subsection (a), if the 
President determines that--
            (1) the import relief continues to be necessary to remedy 
        or prevent serious damage and to facilitate adjustment; and
            (2) there is evidence that the industry is making a 
        positive adjustment to import competition.

 SEC. 324. ARTICLES EXEMPT FROM RELIEF.

    The President may not provide import relief under this subtitle 
with respect to any article if import relief previously has been 
provided under this subtitle with respect to that article.

SEC. 325. RATE AFTER TERMINATION OF IMPORT RELIEF.

    When import relief under this subtitle is terminated with respect 
to an article, the rate of duty on that article shall be duty-free.

SEC. 326. TERMINATION OF RELIEF AUTHORITY.

    No import relief may be provided under this subtitle with respect 
to any article after the date that is 8 years after the date on which 
duties on the article are eliminated pursuant to the Agreement.

SEC. 327. COMPENSATION AUTHORITY.

    For purposes of section 123 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 
2133), any import relief provided by the President under this subtitle 
shall be treated as action taken under chapter 1 of title II of that 
Act.

SEC. 328. BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

    The President may not release information which the President 
considers to be confidential business information unless the party 
submitting the confidential business information had notice, at the 
time of submission, that such information would be released by the 
President, or such party subsequently consents to the release of the 
information. To the extent business confidential information is 
provided, a nonconfidential version of the information shall also be 
provided, in which the business confidential information is summarized 
or, if necessary, deleted.

             TITLE IV--TEMPORARY ENTRY OF BUSINESS PERSONS.

SEC. 401. NONIMMIGRANT TRADERS AND INVESTORS.

    Upon a basis of reciprocity secured by the Agreement, an alien who 
is a national of Chile (and any spouse or child (as defined in section 
101(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(b)(1)) 
of such alien, if accompanying or following to join the alien) may, if 
otherwise eligible for a visa and if otherwise admissible into the 
United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 
et seq.), be considered to be classifiable as a nonimmigrant under 
section 101(a)(15)(E) of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(E)) if entering 
solely for a purpose specified in clause (i) or (ii) of such section 
101(a)(15)(E). For purposes of this section, the term ``national'' has 
the meaning given such term in article 14.9 of the Agreement.

SEC. 402. NONIMMIGRANT PROFESSIONALS; LABOR ATTESTATIONS.

    (a) Nonimmigrant Professionals.--
            (1) Definitions.--Section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the 
        Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b)) 
        is amended by striking ``212(n)(1), or (c)'' and inserting 
        ``212(n)(1), or (b1) who is entitled to enter the United States 
        under and in pursuance of the provisions of an agreement listed 
        in section 214(g)(8)(A), who is engaged in a specialty 
        occupation described in section 214(i)(3), and with respect to 
        whom the Secretary of Labor determines and certifies to the 
        Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of State that 
        the intending employer has filed with the Secretary of Labor an 
        attestation under section 212(t)(1), or (c)''.
            (2) Admission of nonimmigrants.--Section 214 of the 
        Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1184) is amended--
                    (A) in subsection (i)--
                            (i) in paragraph (1), by striking ``For 
                        purposes'' and inserting ``Except as provided 
                        in paragraph (3), for purposes''; and
                            (ii) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(3) For purposes of section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1), the term 
`specialty occupation' means an occupation that requires--
            ``(A) theoretical and practical application of a body of 
        specialized knowledge; and
            ``(B) attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in the 
        specific specialty (or its equivalent) as a minimum for entry 
        into the occupation in the United States.''; and
                    (B) in subsection (g), by adding at the end the 
                following:
    ``(8)(A) The agreement referred to in section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1) 
is the United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement.
    ``(B)(i) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish annual 
numerical limitations on approvals of initial applications by aliens 
for admission under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1).
    ``(ii) The annual numerical limitations described in clause (i) 
shall not exceed 1,400 for nationals of Chile for any fiscal year. For 
purposes of this clause, the term `national' has the meaning given such 
term in article 14.9 of the United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement.
    ``(iii) The annual numerical limitations described in clause (i) 
shall only apply to principal aliens and not to the spouses or children 
of such aliens.
    ``(iv) The annual numerical limitation described in paragraph 
(1)(A) is reduced by the amount of the annual numerical limitations 
established under clause (i). However, if a numerical limitation 
established under clause (i) has not been exhausted at the end of a 
given fiscal year, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall adjust 
upwards the numerical limitation in paragraph (1)(A) for that fiscal 
year by the amount remaining in the numerical limitation under clause 
(i). Visas under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) may be issued pursuant to 
such adjustment within the first 45 days of the next fiscal year to 
aliens who had applied for such visas during the fiscal year for which 
the adjustment was made.
    ``(C) The period of authorized admission as a nonimmigrant under 
section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1) shall be 1 year, and may be extended, but 
only in 1-year increments. After every second extension, the next 
following extension shall not be granted unless the Secretary of Labor 
had determined and certified to the Secretary of Homeland Security and 
the Secretary of State that the intending employer has filed with the 
Secretary of Labor an attestation under section 212(t)(1) for the 
purpose of permitting the nonimmigrant to obtain such extension.
    ``(D) The numerical limitation described in paragraph (1)(A) for a 
fiscal year shall be reduced by one for each alien granted an extension 
under subparagraph (C) during such year who has obtained 5 or more 
consecutive prior extensions.''.
    (b) Labor Attestations.--Section 212 of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating the subsection (p) added by section 
        1505(f) of Public Law 106-386 (114 Stat. 1526) as subsection 
        (s); and

aggrieved person or organization (including bargaining

during the nonimmigrant's period of authorized employment, benefits and 
eligibility for benefits (including the opportunity to participate in 
health, life, disability, and other insurance plans; the opportunity to

paragraph (1) or to have made a willful misrepresentation of material 
fact in an attestation. The authority of the Secretary of Labor under 
this subparagraph shall not be construed to be subject to, or limited 
by, the requirements of subparagraph (A).
    ``(F) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as superseding 
or preempting any other enforcement-related authority under this Act 
(such as the authorities under section 274B), or any other Act.
    ``(4) For purposes of this subsection:
            ``(A) The term `area of employment' means the area within 
        normal commuting distance of the worksite or physical location 
        where the work of the nonimmigrant under section 
        101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1) is or will be performed. If such worksite 
        or location is within a Metropolitan Statistical Area, any 
        place within such area is deemed to be within the area of 
        employment.
            ``(B) In the case of an attestation with respect to one or 
        more nonimmigrants under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1) by an 
        employer, the employer is considered to `displace' a United 
        States worker from a job if the employer lays off the worker 
        from a job that is essentially the equivalent of the job for 
        which the nonimmigrant or nonimmigrants is or are sought. A job 
        shall not be considered to be essentially equivalent of another 
        job unless it involves essentially the same responsibilities, 
        was held by a United States worker with substantially 
        equivalent qualifications and experience, and is located in the 
        same area of employment as the other job.
            ``(C)(i) The term `lays off', with respect to a worker--
                    ``(I) means to cause the worker's loss of 
                employment, other than through a discharge for 
                inadequate performance, violation of workplace rules, 
                cause, voluntary departure, voluntary retirement, or 
                the expiration of a grant or contract; but
                    ``(II) does not include any situation in which the 
                worker is offered, as an alternative to such loss of 
                employment, a similar employment opportunity with the 
                same employer at equivalent or higher compensation and 
                benefits than the position from which the employee was 
                discharged, regardless of whether or not the employee 
                accepts the offer.
            ``(ii) Nothing in this subparagraph is intended to limit an 
        employee's rights under a collective bargaining agreement or 
        other employment contract.
            ``(D) The term `United States worker' means an employee 
        who--
                    ``(i) is a citizen or national of the United 
                States; or
                    ``(ii) is an alien who is lawfully admitted for 
                permanent residence, is admitted as a refugee under 
                section 207 of this title, is granted asylum under 
                section 208, or is an immigrant otherwise authorized, 
                by this Act or by the Secretary of Homeland Security, 
                to be employed.''.
    (c) Special Rule for Computation of Prevailing Wage.--Section 
212(p)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(p)(1)) 
is amended by striking ``(n)(1)(A)(i)(II) and (a)(5)(A)'' and inserting 
``(a)(5)(A), (n)(1)(A)(i)(II), and (t)(1)(A)(i)(II)''.
    (d) Fee.--
            (1) In general.--Section 214(c) of the Immigration and 
        Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(c)) is amended by adding at the 
        end the following:
    ``(11)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the Secretary of Homeland 
Security or the Secretary of State, as appropriate, shall impose a fee 
on an employer who has filed an attestation described in section 
212(t)--
            ``(i) in order that an alien may be initially granted 
        nonimmigrant status described in section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b1); 
        or
            ``(ii) in order to satisfy the requirement of the second 
        sentence of subsection (g)(8)(C) for an alien having such 
        status to obtain certain extensions of stay.
    ``(B) The amount of the fee shall be the same as the amount imposed 
by the Secretary of Homeland Security under paragraph (9), except that 
if such paragraph does not authorize such Secretary to impose any fee, 
no fee shall be imposed under this paragraph.
    ``(C) Fees collected under this paragraph shall be deposited in the 
Treasury in accordance with section 286(s).''.
            (2) Use of fee.--Section 286(s)(1) of the Immigration and 
        Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1356(s)(1)) is amended by striking 
        ``section 214(c)(9).'' and inserting ``paragraphs (9) and (11) 
        of section 214(c).''.

SEC. 403. LABOR DISPUTES.

    Section 214(j) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1184(j)) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``(j)'' and inserting ``(j)(1)'';
            (2) by striking ``this subsection'' each place such term 
        appears and inserting ``this paragraph''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following:
    ``(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act except 
section 212(t)(1), and subject to regulations promulgated by the 
Secretary of Homeland Security, an alien who seeks to enter the United 
States under and pursuant to the provisions of an agreement listed in 
subsection (g)(8)(A), and the spouse and children of such an alien if 
accompanying or following to join the alien, may be denied admission as 
a nonimmigrant under subparagraph (E), (L), or (H)(i)(b1) of section 
101(a)(15) if there is in progress a labor dispute in the occupational 
classification at the place or intended place of employment, unless 
such alien establishes, pursuant to regulations promulgated by the 
Secretary of Homeland Security after consultation with the Secretary of 
Labor, that the alien's entry will not affect adversely the settlement 
of the labor dispute or the employment of any person who is involved in 
the labor dispute. Notice of a determination under this paragraph shall 
be given as may be required by such agreement.''.

        nonimmigrant described in subparagraph (L) or (V) of section 
        101(a)(15), and other than a nonimmigrant described in any 
        provision of section 101(a)(15)(H)(i) except subclause (b1) of
