Final Results of Full Sunset Review: Brass Sheet and Strip From
Canada

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Full Sunset Review: Brass Sheet and
Strip from Canada.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On August 26, 1999, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published a notice of preliminary results of the full
sunset review of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip
from Canada (64 FR 46642) pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). We provided interested parties an
opportunity to comment on our preliminary results. We did not receive
comments from any interested parties. As a result of this review, the
Department finds that revocation of this order would be likely to lead
to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the
Final Results of Review section of this notice.

Effective Date: November 24, 1999.

For Further Information Contact: Scott E. Smith or Melissa G. Skinner,
Office of Policy for Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
6397 or (202) 482-1560, respectively.

Statute and Regulations

This review was conducted pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of
the Act. The Department's procedures for the conduct of sunset reviews
are set forth in Procedures for Conducting Five-year (``Sunset'')
Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 63 FR 13516
(March 20, 1998) (``Sunset Regulations'') and in 19 CFR Part 351 (1998)
in general. Guidance on methodological or analytical issues relevant to
the Department's conduct of sunset reviews is set forth in the
Department's Policy Bulletin 98:3--Policies Regarding the Conduct of
Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Orders; Policy Bulletin, 63 FR 18871 (April 16, 1998) (``Sunset Policy
Bulletin'').

Scope

Imports covered by this order are shipments of brass sheet and
strip, other than leaded or tinned, from Canada. The chemical
composition of the subject merchandise is defined in the Copper
Development Association (C.D.A.) 200 Series or the Unified Numbering
System (U.N.S.) C2000 Series. This order does not cover products the
chemical compositions of which are defined by other C.D.A. or U.N.S.
series. In physical dimensions, the products covered by this order have
a solid rectangular cross section over 0.006 inches (0.15 millimeters)
through 0.188 inches (4.8 millimeters) in finished thickness or gauge,
regardless of width. Coiled, wound-on-reels (traverse wound), and cut-
to-length products are included. The merchandise is currently
classifiable under item numbers 7409.21.00 and 7409.29.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). The HTSUS
item numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes only.
The written description remains dispositive.

Background

On August 26, 1999, the Department issued the Preliminary Results
of Full Sunset Review: Brass Sheet and Strip from Canada (64 FR 46642)
(``Preliminary Results''). In our preliminary results, we found that
revocation of the order would likely result in the continuation or
recurrence of dumping. In addition, we preliminarily determined that
the magnitude of the margin of dumping likely to prevail if the order
were revoked was 11.54 percent for Wolverine Tube, Inc. (``Wolverine'')
(formerly Noranda Metals, Inc.) and 8.10 for all other producers and/or
exporters of the subject merchandise. No interested party commented on
our Preliminary Results.

Final Results of Review

As a result of this review, the Department finds that revocation of
the antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping for the reasons set forth in our Preliminary
Results of review. Furthermore, for the reasons set forth in our
Preliminary Results of review, we find that the margins calculated in
the original investigation are probative of the behavior of Canadian
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise. As such, the Department
will report to the Commission the company-specific and all others rates
from the original investigation listed below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margin
Manufacturer/exporter (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wolverine.................................................. 11.54
All Other Producers/Exporters.............................. 8.10
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 of the Department's regulations.
Timely

[[Page 66166]]

notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This five-year (``sunset'') review and notice are in accordance
with sections 751(c), 752, and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: November 18, 1999.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
