To provide for the revocation of certain exclusions from the safeguard 
measures imposed by the President on imports of certain steel products.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REVIEW AND REVOCATION OF CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS FROM SAFEGUARD 
              MEASURES ON CERTAIN STEEL PRODUCTS.

    The President shall take the necessary steps to--
            (1) review each exclusion of a product, granted before the 
        enactment of this Act, from the imposition of safeguard 
        measures imposed under Proclamation 7529 of March 5, 2002, on 
        imports of certain steel products;
            (2) revoke any exclusion described in paragraph (1)--
                    (A) to which an objection was submitted pursuant to 
                notice published by the Office of the United States 
                Trade Representative in the Federal Register, but not 
                within the time period prescribed in such notice; and
                    (B) that would have been denied if the objection 
                had been timely filed; and
            (3) revoke any exclusion described in paragraph (1) if the 
        person requesting the exclusion is found to have submitted any 
        materially false or misleading information, in connection with 
        the request, regarding the availability of a competing domestic 
        product.
