                of a beneficial precedent; and

                as part of trade negotiations with other countries, and

is 21 days after the date on which a report is submitted to the

seeks consultations under subsection (b) and a satisfactory resolution

Representative shall initiate under section 302(b)(1) an investigation

consultations with a foreign country that the Trade Representative is 
required to request under section 303(a) with respect to an 
investigation initiated by reason of subsection (c), the Trade 
Representative shall seek to negotiate an agreement that provides for 
the elimination of the practices that are the subject of the 
investigation as quickly as possible or, if elimination of the 
practices is not feasible, an agreement that provides for compensatory 
trade benefits.

semiannual report required by section 309(3) a report on the status of 
any investigations initiated pursuant to subsection (c) and, where 
appropriate, the extent to which such investigations have led to 
increased opportunities for the export of products and services of the 
United States.

Congressional Trade Enforcer established under section 102 of the Trade

                bilateral or regional trade agreement to which the 
                United States is a party.
                    (B) Submission of indictments.--The Congressional

        small business'' means any business concern which, in the

with a view to using most effectively the information, services, and 
capabilities of all such agencies in carrying out the responsibilities 
assigned to each, the Congressional Trade Enforcer is authorized to 
obtain information, data, estimates, and statistics developed by the

771(5)(E) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677(5)(E)) is amended

                nonmarket economy country under paragraph (18) of this 
                section, the administering authority shall use 
                methodologies to identify and calculate the amount of 
                the benefit that take into account the possibility that 
                terms and conditions prevailing in China may not always 
                be available as appropriate benchmarks. In applying 
                such methodologies, where practicable, the 
                administering authority should take into account and 
                adjust terms and conditions prevailing in China before 
                using terms and conditions prevailing outside of China. 
                If the administering authority has determined that 
                China is a nonmarket economy country under paragraph 
                (18) of this section, the administering authority shall 
                presume that special difficulties exist in calculating 
                the amount of a benefit under clauses (i) through (iv) 
                with respect to an investigation or review involving 
                China and that it is not practicable to take into 
                account and adjust terms and conditions prevailing in 
                China, and the administering authority shall use terms 
                and conditions prevailing outside of China.''.
    (d) Subsidies Provided to State-Owned Enterprises in the People's 
Republic of China.--Section 771(5A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1677(5A)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
        ``For purposes of this paragraph, subsidies provided to state-
        owned enterprises in the People's Republic of China shall be 
        deemed to be specific if, inter alia, state-owned enterprises 
        are the predominant recipients of such subsidies or state-owned 
        enterprises receive disproportionately large amounts of such 
        subsidies.''.
    (e) Antidumping Provisions Not Affected.--The amendments made by 
this section shall not affect the status of a country as a nonmarket 
economy country for the purposes of any matter relating to antidumping 
duties under subtitle B of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1673 et seq.).
    (f) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section apply to

amended--
            (1) by redesignating subparagraphs (D) and (E) as

            (2) by inserting after subparagraph (C) the following:
                    ``(D) Treatment of individual business 
                enterprises.--The administering authority shall not 
                consider requests for market economy treatment at the 
                individual business enterprise level in an antidumping 
                proceeding involving a foreign country determined to be

the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677(1)) makes a final determination 
under section 771(18)(C)(i)(I) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (as added by 
subsection (a) of this section) to revoke the determination that a 
foreign country is a nonmarket economy country--
            (1) the President shall notify the Committee on Finance of 
        the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of 
        Representatives of the administering authority's final 
        determination not later than 10 days after the publication of 
        the final determination in the Federal Register;
            (2) the President shall transmit to the Congress a request 
        that a joint resolution be introduced pursuant to this section; 
        and
            (3) a joint resolution shall be introduced in the Congress 
        pursuant to this section.
    (c) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term ``joint 
resolution'' means only a joint resolution of the 2 Houses of the 
Congress, the matter after the resolving clause of which is as follows: 
``That the Congress approves the change of nonmarket economy status 
with respect to the products of _____ transmitted by the President to 
the Congress on _____.'', the first blank space being filled in with 
the name of the country with respect to which a determination has been 
made under section 771(18)(C)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1677(18)(C)(i)), and the second blank space being filled with the date 
on which the President notified the Committee on Finance of the Senate 
and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives 
under subsection (b)(1).
    (d) Introduction.--A joint resolution shall be introduced (by 
request) in the House of Representatives by the majority leader of the 
House, for himself, or by Members of the House designated by the 
majority leader of the House, and shall be introduced (by request) in 
the Senate by the majority leader of the Senate, for himself, or by 
Members of the Senate designated by the majority leader of the Senate.
    (e) Amendments Prohibited.--No amendment to a joint resolution 
shall be in order in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, 
and no motion to suspend the application of this subsection shall be in 
order in either House, nor shall it be in order in either House for the 
presiding officer to entertain a request to suspend the application of 
this subsection by unanimous consent.
    (f) Period for Committee and Floor Consideration.--
            (1) In general.--If the committee or committees of either 
        House to which a joint resolution has been referred have not 
        reported the joint resolution at the close of the 45th day 
        after its introduction, such committee or committees shall be 
        automatically discharged from further consideration of the 
        joint resolution and it shall be placed on the appropriate 
        calendar. A vote on final passage of the joint resolution shall 
        be taken in each House on or before the close of the 15th day 
        after the joint resolution is reported by the committee or 
        committees of that House to which it was referred, or after 
        such committee or committees have been discharged from further 
        consideration of the joint resolution. If, prior to the passage 
        by one House of a joint resolution of that House, that House 
        receives the same joint resolution from the other House, then--
                    (A) the procedure in that House shall be the same 
                as if no joint resolution had been received from the 
                other House, but
                    (B) the vote on final passage shall be on the joint 
                resolution of the other House.
            (2) Computation of days.--For purposes of paragraph (1), in 
        computing a number of days in either House, there shall be 
        excluded any day on which that House is not in session.
    (g) Floor Consideration in the House.--
            (1) Motion privileged.--A motion in the House of 
        Representatives to proceed to the consideration of a joint 
        resolution shall be highly privileged and not debatable. An 
        amendment to the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be 
        in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is 
        agreed to or disagreed to.
            (2) Debate limited.--Debate in the House of Representatives 
        on a joint resolution shall be limited to not more than 20 
        hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring 
        and those opposing the joint resolution. A motion further to 
        limit debate shall not be debatable. It shall not be in order 
        to move to recommit a joint resolution or to move to reconsider 
        the vote by which a joint resolution is agreed to or disagreed 
        to.
            (3) Motions to postpone.--Motions to postpone, made in the 
        House of Representatives with respect to the consideration of a 
        joint resolution, and motions to proceed to the consideration 
        of other business, shall be decided without debate.
            (4) Appeals.--All appeals from the decisions of the Chair 
        relating to the application of the Rules of the House of 
        Representatives to the procedure relating to a joint resolution 
        shall be decided without debate.
            (5) Other rules.--Except to the extent specifically 
        provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection, 
        consideration of a joint resolution shall be governed by the 
        Rules of the House of Representatives applicable to other bills 
        and resolutions in similar circumstances.
    (h) Floor Consideration in the Senate.--
            (1) Motion privileged.--A motion in the Senate to proceed 
        to the consideration of a joint resolution shall be privileged 
        and not debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in 
        order, nor shall it be in order to move to reconsider the vote 
        by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.
            (2) Debate limited.--Debate in the Senate on a joint 
        resolution, and all debatable motions and appeals in connection 
        therewith, shall be limited to not more than 20 hours. The time 
        shall be equally divided between, and controlled by, the 
        majority leader and the minority leader or their designees.
            (3) Control of debate.--Debate in the Senate on any 
        debatable motion or appeal in connection with a joint 
        resolution shall be limited to not more than 1 hour, to be 
        equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the 
        manager of the joint resolution, except that in the event the 
        manager of the joint resolution is in favor of any such motion 
        or appeal, the time in opposition thereto shall be controlled 
        by the minority leader or his designee. Such leaders, or either 
        of them, may, from time under their control on the passage of a 
        joint resolution, allot additional time to any Senator during 
        the consideration of any debatable motion or appeal.
            (4) Other motions.--A motion in the Senate to further limit 
        debate is not debatable. A motion to recommit a joint 
        resolution is not in order.
    (i) Rules of House of Representatives and Senate.--Subsections (c) 
through (h) are enacted by the Congress--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the House of 
        Representatives and the Senate, respectively, and as such 
        subsections (c) through (h) are deemed a part of the rules of 
        each House, respectively, but applicable only with respect to 
        the procedure to be followed in that House in the case of joint 
        resolutions described in subsection (c), and subsections (c) 
        through (h) supersede other rules only to the extent that they 
        are inconsistent therewith; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to 
        the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

SEC. 204. WTO APPELLATE BODY RULINGS REQUIRING OFFSETS FOR NON-DUMPED 
              COMPARISONS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Contracting Parties of the General Agreements on 
        Tariffs and Trade agreed in 1947, and the Members of the World 
        Trade Organization (WTO) reaffirmed in 1994, that dumping, by 
        which products of one country are introduced into the commerce 
        of another country at less than fair value, ``is to be 
        condemned'' if it causes or threatens material injury to, or 
        materially retards the establishment of, a domestic industry.
            (2) Since the adoption of the first United States 
        antidumping law in 1921, the United States has treated groups 
        of sales that are above ``fair value'' as not dumped (i.e., 
        having a dumping margin of zero). Virtually every other 
        government that applies antidumping measures has used a similar 
        practice of ``zeroing'' sales above fair value.
            (3) In a series of recent dispute settlement proceedings, 
        the WTO Appellate Body has repeatedly overturned the rulings of 
        several panels of antidumping experts that have found that the 
        longstanding practice of zeroing is not inconsistent with the 
        WTO agreements. The WTO Appellate Body has found that the 
        United States is required to recognize ``negative dumping'' 
        (the amount by which certain groups of sales may exceed ``fair 
        value'') and thereby imposed a new mandate that the United 
        States must offset dumped sales.
            (4) The United States has described these decisions of the 
        WTO Appellate Body as ``devoid of legal merit,'' ``fatally 
        flawed,'' and ``very troubling.''
            (5) Despite these criticisms, the U.S. Department of 
        Commerce implemented the recommendations of the WTO Appellate 
        Body by creating mandatory offsets for dumping with respect to 
        certain comparisons made in antidumping investigations, 
        effective February 22, 2007. The Department of Commerce did not 
        make any other modifications to its methodologies to ensure 
        that dumping is addressed fully and in all instances under 
        United States antidumping law.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) in negotiations and dispute settlement proceedings at 
        the WTO, the United States should--
                    (A) restore the balance between rights and 
                obligations that was struck during the Uruguay Round of 
                Multilateral Trade Negotiations, as reflected in the 
                Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the 
                General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994, including 
                by eliminating the requirement to offset dumped sales 
                with non-dumped sales; and
                    (B) preserve the ability of the United States to 
                enforce rigorously its trade laws, including the 
                antidumping, countervailing duty, and safeguard laws;
            (2) the Department of Commerce should revisit its decision 
        to modify its methodology in antidumping investigations with 
        respect to the calculation of the weighted-average dumping 
        margin, effective February 22, 2007;
            (3) a revised modification should seek to ensure that 100 
        percent of dumping is addressed under United States antidumping 
        duty law and practice, while also ensuring that the United 
        States complies with its WTO obligations.
    (c) Requirements for Agency Action.--
            (1) Changes in antidumping methodology.--The Department of 
        Commerce may not implement any revised methodology in 
        antidumping investigations with respect to the calculation of 
        weighted-average dumping margins unless and until the 
        procedures set forth in section 123(g)(1) of the Uruguay Round 
        Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3533(g)(1)) have been followed and 
        completed.
            (2) Effective date of modification.--A final rule or other 
        modification to which paragraph (1) applies may not go into 
        effect before the end of the 60-day period beginning on the 
        date on which consultations under section 123(g)(1)(E) of the 
        Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3533(g)(1)(E)) begin.
            (3) Vote by congressional committees.--During the 60-day 
        period described in paragraph (2), the Committee on Ways and 
        Means of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
        Finance of the Senate may vote to indicate the agreement or 
        disagreement of the committee with the proposed contents of the 
        final rule or other modification. Any such vote shall not be 
        binding on the department or agency which is implementing the 
        rule or other modification.
    (d) Grace Period for Original Modification.--The final modification 
announced in ``Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin During an Antidumping Investigation; Final 
Modification,'' 71 Fed. Reg. 77722 (December 27, 2006) shall remain in 
force until March 1, 2009. On that date, the Department of Commerce 
shall return to the methodology it applied before adopting the Final 
Modification, unless or until it issues a Revised Modification, in 
accordance with the procedures described in subsection (c).

SEC. 205. ROLE OF WTO APPELLATE BODY RULINGS IN THE WTO DISPUTE 
              SETTLEMENT SYSTEM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States and other members of the World Trade 
        Organization made clear when they established the World Trade 
        Organization that the text of the WTO agreements, and not 
        interpretations of those agreements by the Appellate Body or 
        any other international tribunal, establishes the rights and 
        obligations of WTO members. The WTO members determined that 
        ``in their findings and recommendations, the panel and 
        Appellate Body cannot add to or diminish the rights and 
        obligations'' in the text of an agreement. Instead, a dispute 
        settlement panel is to make an ``objective assessment of the 
        matter before it, including an objective assessment of the 
        facts of the case and the applicability of and conformity with 
        the relevant covered agreements''. The WTO members themselves, 
        by a three-fourths majority, have the ``exclusive authority'' 
        to adopt binding interpretations of the WTO agreements.
            (2) Accordingly, in 1996, the WTO Appellate Body stated 
        that past dispute settlement decisions ``create legitimate 
        expectations among WTO Members, and, therefore, should be taken 
        into account where they are relevant to any dispute. However, 
        they are not binding, except with respect to resolving the 
        particular dispute between the parties to that dispute.''.
            (3) In 2008, however, the Appellate Body criticized a 
        dispute settlement panel for conducting its own objective 
        assessment of a legal issue and refusing to follow the 
        Appellate Body's past interpretations of provisions of WTO 
        agreements. The Appellate Body stated that it was ``deeply 
        concerned about the Panel's decision to depart from well-
        established Appellate Body jurisprudence clarifying the 
        interpretation of the same legal issues''.
            (4) The notion that a dispute settlement panel is obligated 
        to follow Appellate Body precedent, rather than its own 
        objective assessment of the relevant WTO agreements, is 
        inconsistent with the text of those agreements and ultimately 
        may have a chilling effect on future negotiations to further 
        open markets and strengthen the global trading system.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the 
United States should state unequivocally that--
            (1) it in inconsistent with the express mandate of limited 
        authority to the WTO Appellate Body under the Understanding on 
        Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes for 
        the Appellate Body to establish a new legal standard that 
        dispute settlement panels must apply in deciding cases; and
            (2) a dispute settlement panel is obligated to follow the 
        text of an agreement negotiated by the WTO members themselves, 
        and not the ``jurisprudence'' of the WTO Appellate Body.
    (c) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) WTO agreements.--The term ``WTO agreements'' means the 
        agreements approved by the Congress under section 101(a)(1) of 
        the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3511(a)(1)).
            (2) WTO member.--The term ``WTO member'' has the meaning 
        given that term in section 2 of the Uruguay Round Agreements 
        Act (19 U.S.C. 3501).
            (3) Appellate body; dispute settlement panel.--The terms 
        ``Appellate Body'' and ``dispute settlement panel'' have the 
        meanings given those terms in section 121 of the Uruguay Round 
        Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3531).
            (4) Understanding on rules and procedures governing the 
        settlement of disputes.--The term ``Understanding on Rules and 
        Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes'' means the 
        agreement described in section 101(d)(16) of the Uruguay Round 
        Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3511(d)(16)).

SEC. 206. CLARIFICATION REGARDING MATERIAL INJURY BY REASON OF IMPORTS 
              OF SUBJECT MERCHANDISE.

    Section 771(7) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677(7)) is 
amended by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(J) Additional requirements.--In evaluating 
                whether there is material injury, or threat thereof, by 
                reason of imports of the subject merchandise, the 
                Commission shall make its determination without regard 
                to--
                            ``(i) whether other imports would have 
                        replaced or are likely to replace subject 
                        imports if an order were issued or a suspension 
                        agreement were accepted under this title; or
                            ``(ii) the effect of a potential order or 
                        suspension agreement on the domestic industry, 
                        except with respect to any finding required by 
                        subparagraph (F)(ii).''.

              DISRUPTION.

    Section 421 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2451) is amended--
            (1) in subsection (a)--
                    (A) by inserting ``any'' before ``increased 
                duties''; and
                    (B) by striking ``, to the extent and for such

                Commission'';

                        ``is to be considered''; and
                            (ii) by striking ``the Commission shall

                    (B) by striking ``on proposed remedies'' and 
                inserting ``for relief'';

                ``Recommended Relief and Report by Trade

United States or have been the subject of recalls in the United States

    (b) Sanctions.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary, acting through the 
        Commissioner, shall establish sanctions to be imposed on

        have been the subject of recalls in the United States and the 
        severity of the violation of law that was the basis for such 
        determination or recall. Such sanctions shall include the 
        following:
                    (A) In the case of a first occurrence, an increase 
                in the bond required to be posted for imports of the 
                products of the entity concerned.
                    (B) Increased inspection of up to 100 percent of 
                the products of the entity concerned, in the case of a 
                second occurrence of a violation within 6 months after 
                the first occurrence of the same violation; and
                    (C) A prohibition on imports of the products of an 
                entity whose products have repeatedly been the subject 
                of such a determination or recall, or in a case in 
                which the products concerned caused bodily injury or 
                death, for a period of time determined by the 
                Secretary, acting through the Commissioner, but 
                generally not less than 6 months or until the relevant 
                department or agency with the authority to determine 
                the admissibility of the products verifies that the 
                banned products are in compliance with the relevant 
                health or safety standards. Products subject to the 
                prohibition shall be the same type of products as those 
                determined to be inadmissible or subject to the recall, 
                and any other type of product that is subject to the 
                same standard as the one violated by the entity.
            (2) Determination of ``repeatedly''.--In determining under 
        paragraph (1)(C) whether the products of an entity have 
        ``repeatedly'' been the subject of a determination of 
        inadmissibility or recall, the Secretary, acting through the 
        Commissioner, shall take into account not only the number of 
        such determinations but the seriousness of the violation of 
        health or safety standards that gave rise to any such 
        determination.
    (c) Availability to Public.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary, acting through the 
        Commissioner, shall make public, including through the official

        importers of record, foreign manufacturers, foreign processing

        the prohibition, such appeal shall also be made public in 
        accordance with the preceding sentence.
            (2) Updating.--The information made public under paragraph 
        (1) shall be updated as frequently as necessary to keep the 
        information current.
