                UNITED STATES-MADE MOTOR VEHICLE PARTS.
  
      (a) In General.--On the 45th day after the date of the enactment of 
  this Act, any act, policy, or practice of a deficit foreign country 
  that adversely affects the access to such country's market of motor 
  vehicle parts produced by United States motor vehicle parts 
  manufacturers (including, but not limited to, any act, policy, or 
  practice utilized in such country's motor vehicle distribution system) 
  shall, for purposes of title III of the Trade Act of 1974, be 
  considered as an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country that is 
  unjustifiable and burdens or restricts United States commerce. The 
  Trade Representative shall immediately proceed to determine, in 
  accordance with section 304(a)(1)(B) of such Act, what action to take 
  under section 301(a) of such Act to obtain the elimination of such act, 
  policy, or practice.
      (b) Negotiation Agenda.--If the Trade Representative decides to 
  take action referred to in section 301(c)(1)(C) of the Trade Act of 
  1974 with respect to an act, policy, or practice referred to in 
  subsection (a), the agenda for negotiations shall include--
              (1) guarantees for sales in the deficit foreign country's 
          market of motor vehicle parts produced in the United States by 
          United States motor vehicle parts manufacturers in an aggregate 
          amount equal to the percentage of such market that would be 
          held by motor vehicle parts produced by United States motor 
          vehicle parts manufacturers if the unfair act, policy, or 
          practice did not exist;
              (2) the elimination or modification of the aspects of the 
          deficit foreign country's motor vehicle distribution system 
          (and any other act, policy, or practice) that act as a barrier 
          to the access to the foreign country's market of motor vehicle 
          parts produced in the United States by United States motor 
          vehicle parts manufacturers; and
              (3) the establishment of procedures for the exchange of 
          information between the appropriate agencies of the United 
          States and the deficit foreign country's government that will 
          permit an accurate assessment of bilateral trade in motor 
          vehicle parts, particularly with respect to the purchase of 
          motor vehicle parts produced in the United States by United 
          States motor vehicle parts manufacturers for use by foreign 
          sources in the foreign country's market.
      (c) Additional Estimates and Consequential Effect.--
              (1) Estimate.--If the Trade Representative decides to take 
          action under section 301(c)(1)(C) of the Trade Act of 1974, the 
          Trade Representative shall promptly estimate, on the basis of 
          the best information available--
                      (A) the percentage share of the deficit foreign 
                  country's market for motor vehicle parts that is 
                  currently accounted for by motor vehicle parts produced 
                  in the United States by United States motor vehicle 
                  parts manufacturers;
                      (B) the percentage share of the deficit foreign 
                  country's market for motor vehicle parts which would be 
                  accounted for by United States motor vehicle parts if 
                  an act, policy, or practice referred to in subsection 
                  (a) did not exist; and
                      (C) the dollar value of the difference between the 
                  percentage shares estimated under subparagraphs (A) and 
                  (B).
              (2) Subsequent action.--If the negotiations referred to in 
          subsection (b) are unsuccessful, any action subsequently taken 
          under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 in response to the 
          deficit foreign country's acts, policies, or practices shall be 
          substantially equivalent to the dollar value estimated under 
          paragraph (1)(C).
  
  SEC. 102. ANTIDUMPING INVESTIGATION REGARDING MOTOR VEHICLE PARTS OF 
                DEFICIT FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
  
      Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
  the Secretary shall commence an investigation under section 732(a) of 
  the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine if imports of motor vehicle parts 
  into the United States that are products of any deficit foreign 
  country, or sales (or the likelihood of sales) of such parts for 
  importation into the United States, constitute grounds for the 
  imposition of antidumping duties under section 731 of such Act.
