This section limits import relief to a total of three years. It allows an extension within that limit only when relief remains necessary and the domestic industry is adjusting positively.
(a) General rule. Subject to (b), import relief provided under section 4082(b) may be in effect for no more than 3 years in total.
(b) Extension. If the initial relief period is shorter than 3 years, the President may extend it, subject to the 3-year total limit, if the President finds that (1) relief is still necessary to remedy or prevent serious damage and help the domestic industry adjust to import competition, and (2) evidence shows the industry is making a positive adjustment.
Subject to subsection (b), any import relief that the President provides under subsection (b) of section 4082 of this title may not, in the aggregate, be in effect for more than 3 years.
If the initial period for any import relief provided under section 4082 of this title is less than 3 years, the President may extend the effective period of any import relief provided under that section, subject to the limitation set forth in subsection (a), if the President determines that—
the import relief continues to be necessary to remedy or prevent serious damage and to facilitate adjustment by the domestic industry to import competition; and
there is evidence that the industry is making a positive adjustment to import competition.
