Sec. 206.15  Institution of investigation.

    (a) In general. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, 
the Commission, after receipt of a petition under this Subpart B, 
properly filed, will promptly institute an appropriate investigation and 
will cause a notice thereof to be published in the Federal Register.
    (b) Exceptions--(1) Reinvestigation within one (1) year. Except for 
good cause determined by the Commission to exist, no new investigation 
will be made under section 202 of the Trade Act with respect to the same 
subject matter as a previous investigation under section 202 unless one 
(1) year has elapsed since the Commission made its report to the 
President of the results of such previous investigation.
    (2) Articles subject to prior action. No new investigation will be 
made under section 202 of the Trade Act with respect to an article that 
is or has been the subject of an action under section 203(a) (3)(A), 
(B), (C), or (E) of the Trade Act if the last day on which the President 
could take action under section 203 of the Trade Act in the new 
investigation is a date earlier than that permitted under section 
203(e)(7) of the Trade Act.
    (3) Articles subject to the Textiles Agreement. No investigation 
will be made under section 202 of the Trade Act with respect to an 
article that is the subject of the WTO Agreement on Textiles and 
Clothing unless the United States has integrated the article into GATT 
1994 and the Secretary of Commerce has published notice to such effect 
in the Federal Register.
    (4) Perishable agricultural product. An entity of the type described 
in Sec. 206.13 that represents a domestic industry producing a 
perishable agricultural product may petition for provisional relief with 
respect to such product only if such product has been subject to 
monitoring by the Commission for not less than 90 days as of the date 
the allegation of injury is included in the petition.
