# §1540.5. Submission of recommendations.


If the Secretary has reason to believe that the perishable product which is the subject of a petition under [§ 1540.4](/cfr/7/1540.4.md) of this subpart is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing a perishable product like or directly competitive with the imported perishable product and that emergency action is warranted, the Secretary, within 14 days after the filing of the petition under [§ 1540.4](/cfr/7/1540.4.md) of this subpart, shall recommend to the President that the President take emergency action. If the Secretary determines not to recommend the imposition of emergency action, the Secretary shall publish a notice of such determination and will so advise the petitioner within 14 days after the filing of the petition.
