Abstract
The Department of Commerce is revising its regulation on the ``Effect of Imported Articles on the National Security'' (47 FR 14693, April 6, 1982; redesignated at 54 FR 601, January 6, 1989; and amended at 54 FR 19355, May 5, 1989 (15 C.F.R. Part 705)) to reflect amendments to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. These amendments include requirements for additional action to be taken by the Secretary of Commerce upon commencing, conducting, and completing an investigation, and reporting the disposition of an investigation to the Congress. The amendments also specify action to be taken by the President in making a determination to take action to adjust the imports of the article which is the subject of the investigation.
