SUBCHAPTER IV--GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRADE RELATIONS
Sec. 1354. Quotas on Philippine articles
(a) to (c) Omitted
(d) Investigations by International Trade Commission
The United States International Trade Commission shall at the
request of the President, upon resolution of either House of Congress or
concurrent resolution of both Houses of Congress, upon its own motion,
or when in its judgment there is good reason therefor, upon application
of any interested party, make an investigation to ascertain (1) whether
imports of a Philippine article (other than an article for which a quota
is established by part 2 of subchapter I of this chapter) are coming, or
are likely to come, into substantial competition with like articles
which are the product of the United States; (2) what is the greatest
amount of such article which may be entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, in the United States for consumption, without coming into
substantial competition with like articles which are the product of the
United States; and (3) the total amount of such article which (during
the twelve months ended on the last day of the month preceding the month
in which occurs the date of the beginning of the investigation) was
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, in the United States for
consumption. During the course of the investigation the Commission shall
hold a public hearing, of which reasonable public notice shall be given
and at which parties interested shall be afforded reasonable opportunity
to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard. The Commission
shall give precedence to such investigations. The Commission shall
report the results of its investigations to the President, and shall
send copies of such report to each House of the Congress.
