After receipt by the Commission of an application under section 7 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, as amended, properly filed, an investigation will be promptly instituted. The application, except for confidential material, will then be available for public inspection at the office of the Commission in Washington, D. C., or in the New York office of the Tariff Commission, Customhouse, New York 4, N. Y., where it may be read and copied by persons interested. Notice of such investigation will be given in the manner prescribed in § 201.10 of this chapter. (b) Public hearings. Hearings are required by law in investigations under section 7 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, as amended, whenever the Commission finds evidence of serious injury or threat of serious injury or whenever so directed by resolution of either the Committee on Finance of the Senate or the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives. No recommendations to the President for action under section 7 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, as amended, may be made unless a hearing has been held. The Commission will order a public hearing whenever a hearing is required by law or in any other case when in its judgment there is good and sufficient reason therefor. Public notice of hearings ordered will be given in the manner prescribed in § 201.10 of this chapter. § 207.6 Briefs. Briefs of the evidence produced at the hearings and arguments thereon may be presented to the Commission by parties interested who have entered an appearance.

CROSS REFERENCE: For rules regarding briefs of evidence given by deposition, see 201.17 (b) of this chapter. § 207.7 Reports-(a) Findings and recommendations to the President. If, as a result of an investigation and hearing under section 7 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951, as amended, the Commission finds that an article on which a trade-agreement concession has been granted is, as a result, in whole or in part, of the duty or other customs treatment reflecting such concession, being imported in such increased quantities, actual or relative, as to cause or threaten serious injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles, it will report its findings to the President with appropriate recommendations for the withdrawal or modification of the concession, its suspension in whole or in part, or the establishment of import quotas, to the extent and for the time necessary to prevent or remedy such injury. (b) Findings and conclusions in absence of recommendation to the President. If after investigation, either with or without hearing, the Commission determines that no sufficient reason exists for a recommendation to the President for action of any kind specified in paragraph (a) of this section, it will make and publish a report stating its findings and conclusions.
