If in the course of any such investigation the Commis- sion shall find with respect to any article on the list upon which a tariff concession has been granted that an increase in duty or additional import restriction is required to avoid serious injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles, the Commission shall promptly institute an investigation with respect to that article pursuant to section 1364 of this title. (2) In each such investigation the Commission shall, to the extent practicable and without ex- cluding other factors, ascertain for the last cal- endar year preceding the investigation the aver- age invoice price on a country-of-origin basis (converted into currency of the United States in accordance with the provisions of section 5151 of title 31) at which the foreign article was sold for export to the United States, and the average prices at which the like or directly competitive domestic articles were sold at wholesale in the principal markets of the United States. The Commission shall also, to the extent prac- ticable, estimate for each article on the list the maximum increase in annual imports which may occur without causing serious injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive articles. The Commission shall re- quest the executive departments and agencies for information in their possession concerning prices and other economic data from the prin- cipal supplier foreign country of each such arti- cle.
