                The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with all

                the borders of the United States, including portions of 
                pipelines, use materials and equipment produced in the 
                United States, to the maximum extent possible and to 
                the extent permitted by law. The Secretary shall submit 
                the plan to the President within 180 days of the date

(ii) Steel or iron material or products manufactured abroad from semi-
finished steel or iron from the United States are not ``produced in the 
United States'' for purposes of this memorandum.

(iii) Steel or iron material or products manufactured in the United States 
from semi-finished steel or iron of foreign origin are not ``produced in 
the United States'' for purposes of this memorandum.

                The Secretary of Commerce is hereby authorized and 
                directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal 
                Register.
