of the request.
    (b) Allegation of Critical Circumstances.--An interested party

SEC. 322. DETERMINATION AND PROVISION OF RELIEF.

    (a) Determination.--
        (1) In general.--If a positive determination is made under 
    section 321(c), the President shall determine whether, as a result 
    of the reduction or elimination of a duty under the Agreement, an 
    Australian 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 described 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 to import competition.
        (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.

        (1) Presidential determination.--When a request filed under 
    section 321(a) contains an allegation of critical circumstances and 
    a request for provisional relief under section 321(b), the 
    President shall, not later than 60 days after the request is filed, 
    determine, on the basis of available information, whether--
            (A) there is clear evidence that--
                (i) imports from Australia have increased as the result 
            of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under the 
            Agreement; and
                (ii) such imports are causing serious damage, or actual 
            threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing an 
            article like or directly competitive with the imported 
            article; and
            (B) delay in taking action under this subtitle would cause 
        damage to that industry that would be difficult to repair.
        (2) Extent of provisional relief.--If the determinations under 
    subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) are affirmative, the 
    President shall determine the extent of provisional relief that is 
    necessary to remedy or prevent the serious damage. The nature of 
    the provisional relief available shall be the relief described in 
    subsection (b)(2). Within 30 days after making affirmative 
    determinations under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1), 
    the President, if the President considers provisional relief tobe 
warranted, shall provide, for a period not to exceed 200 days, such 
provisional relief that the President considers necessary to remedy or 
prevent the serious damage.
        (3) Suspension of liquidation.--If provisional relief is 
    provided under paragraph (2), the President shall order the 
    suspension of liquidation of all imported articles subject to the 
    affirmative determinations under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of 
    paragraph (1) that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for 
    consumption, on or after the date of the determinations.
        (4) Termination of provisional relief.--
            (A) In general.--Any provisional relief implemented under 
        this subsection with respect to an imported article shall 
        terminate on the day on which--
                (i) the President makes a negative determination under 
            subsection (a) regarding serious damage or actual threat 
            thereof by imports of such article;
                (ii) action described in subsection (b) takes effect 
            with respect to such article;
                (iii) a decision by the President not to take any 
            action under subsection (b) with respect to such article 
            becomes final; or
                (iv) the President determines that, because of changed 
            circumstances, such relief is no longer warranted.
            (B) Suspension of liquidation.--Any suspension of 
        liquidation ordered under paragraph (3) with respect to an 
        imported article shall terminate on the day on which 
        provisional relief is terminated under subparagraph (A) with 
        respect to the article.
            (C) Rates of duty.--If an increase in, or the imposition 
        of, a duty that is provided under subsection (b) on an imported 
        article is different from a duty increase or imposition that 
        was provided for such an article under this subsection, then 
        the entry of any such article for which liquidation was 
        suspended under paragraph (3) shall be liquidated at whichever 
        of such rates of duty is lower.
            (D) Rate of duty if provisional relief.--If provisional 
        relief is provided under this subsection with respect to an 
        imported article and neither a duty increase nor a duty 
        imposition is provided under subsection (b) for such article, 
        the entry of any such article for which liquidation was 
        suspended under paragraph (3) shall be liquidated at the rate 
        of duty that applied before the provisional relief was 
        provided.

        or prevent serious damage and to facilitate adjustment by the 
        domestic industry to import competition; and

        positive adjustment to import competition.
