proper request filed with the appropriate customs officer within 180
days after the date of the enactment of this Act--
(1) any entry listed in section 3 that was not reliquidated
as of such date of enactment shall be reliquidated so as to
reduce the amount of countervailing duty imposed on such entry
to the amount found by the Secretary of Commerce to be owed as
a result of final review under title VII of the Tariff Act of
1930 and a refund of any excess countervailing duty so found
shall be made to the importer of record; and
(2) interest on the amount of any excess countervailing
duty found as a result of--
(A) any reliquidation under paragraph (1); or
