Such authority shall be exercised by the Secretary of the Treasury, upon direction by the Special Representative, on consultation with representatives of the member agencies of the Trade Policy Staff Committee. (5) In exercising the authority delegated in paragraphs (3) and (4) above, the Special Representative shall, in addition to other necessary actions, institute the following actions. (a) Statistics on imports from the Republic of Korea and Taiwan and from other sources of articles covered by the agreements shall be collected on a monthly basis. Should the effectiveness of the orderly marketing agreements be disrupted, the Special Representative, after consultation with representatives of member agencies of the Trade Policy Staff Committee, may make a determination that for the purposes of section 203(e)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(3)) the orderly marketing agreements do not continue to be effective. (b) Beginning on February 1, 1979, if during any restraint period the quantity of imports of the articles covered by the agreements, from countries other than Taiwan and the Republic of Korea, appear likely to disrupt the effectiveness of the provisions of the orderly marketing agreements described in paragraph (1) above, the Special Representative may initiate consultations with those countries responsible for such disruptions and may prevent further entry of such articles for the remainder of that restraint period or may otherwise moderate or restrict imports of such articles from such countries pursuant to section 203(g)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(g)(2)). Before exercising this authority, the Special Representative shall consult with representatives of the member agencies of the Trade Policy Staff Committee.
