    Needs and Uses: The International Trade Administration's (ITA), 
Import Administration, AD/CVD Enforcement, implements the U.S.

Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, a domestic producer of 
an article that is like a component part of a downstream product may 
petition the Department of Commerce to designate the downstream product
