(A) the President, after consultation with the Congress under paragraph (1), notifies the House of Representatives and the Senate of his determination and publishes notice of that determination in the Federal Register,
(B) the President transmits a document to the House of Representatives and to the Senate containing a copy of the text of such requirement, amendment, or recommendation, together with—

(C) the bill submitted by the President is enacted into law.
(3) **Recommendations as to application** — The President may make the same type of recommendations, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions, to the Congress with respect to the application of any such requirement, amendment, or recommendation as he may make, under [section 2112(f) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title19-section2112/f&num=0&edition=prelim), with respect to a trade agreement.
