Permits the President to allocate a share of permissible imports to any country. Permits the President to eliminate the import restriction on articles covered by this Act upon a finding that such importation does not threaten domestic employment or is in the national interest. Directs the President to impose such import restrictions where necessary to prevent regional market disruptions. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to promulgate regulations to carry out this Act. Sets forth conditions under which the import restrictions of this Act shall be terminated.
