SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On March 6, 1987, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) 

issued antidumping duty orders on 

imports of brass sheet and strip from 

France, Germany, and Italy (52 FR 6995; 

Italy amended at 52 FR 11299 (April 8, 

1987)). On August 12, 1988, Commerce 

issued an antidumping duty order on 

imports of brass sheet and strip from 

Japan (53 FR 30454). Following first 

five-year reviews by Commerce and the 

Commission, effective May 1, 2000, 

Commerce issued a continuation of the 

antidumping duty orders on imports of 

brass sheet and strip from France, 

Germany, Italy, and Japan (65 FR 

25304). Following second five-year 

reviews by Commerce and the 

Commission, effective April 3, 2006, 

Commerce issued a continuation of the 

antidumping duty orders on imports of 

brass sheet and strip from France, 

Germany, Italy, and Japan (71 FR 

16552). The Commission is now 

conducting third reviews to determine 

whether revocation of the orders would 

be likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to the 

domestic industry within a reasonably 

foreseeable time. It will assess the 

adequacy of interested party responses 

to this notice of institution to determine 

whether to conduct full reviews or 

expedited reviews. The Commission’s 

determinations in any expedited 

reviews will be based on the facts 

available, which may include 

information provided in response to this 

notice. 

Definitions.—The following 

definitions apply to these reviews: 

(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or 

kind of merchandise that is within the 

scope of the five-year reviews, as 

defined by the Department of 

Commerce. 

(2) The Subject Countries in these 

reviews are France, Germany, Italy, and 

Japan. 

(3) The Domestic Like Product is the 

domestically produced product or 

products which are like, or in the 

absence of like, most similar in 

characteristics and uses with, the 

Subject Merchandise. In its original 

antidumping duty determinations 

concerning brass sheet and strip from 

France, Germany, and Italy, the 

Commission defined the Domestic Like 

Product to include brass material to be 

rerolled (reroll) and finished brass sheet 

and strip (finished products). In its 

original antidumping duty 

determination and the remand 

determination concerning brass sheet 

and strip from Japan, the Commission 

defined the Domestic Like Product to be 

all Unified Numbering System (‘‘UNS’’) 

C20000 domestically produced brass 

sheet and strip. One Commissioner 

defined the Domestic Like Product 

differently. In its full first and second 

five-year review determinations, the 

Commission defined the Domestic Like 

Product as all UNS C20000 series brass 

sheet and strip. For purposes of this 

notice, the Domestic Like Product is all 

UNS C20000 series brass sheet and 

strip. 

(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. 

producers as a whole of the Domestic 

Like Product, or those producers whose 

collective output of the Domestic Like 

Product constitutes a major proportion 

of the total domestic production of the 

product. In its original antidumping 

duty determinations concerning brass 

sheet and strip from France, Germany, 

and Italy, the Commission defined the 

Domestic Industry to include primary 

mills with casting capabilities and 

rerollers. In its original antidumping 

duty determination and the remand 

determination concerning brass sheet 

and strip from Japan, the Commission 

defined the Domestic Industry as 

producers of the corresponding 

Domestic Like Product. One 

Commissioner defined the Domestic 

Industry differently. In its full first and 

second five-year review determinations, 

the Commission defined the Domestic 

Industry to consist of the domestic 

producers of UNS C20000 series brass 

sheet and strip. For purposes of this 

notice, the Domestic Industry is all 

domestic producers of UNS C20000 

series brass sheet and strip. 

(5) An Importer is any person or firm 

engaged, either directly or through a 

parent company or subsidiary, in 

importing the Subject Merchandise into 

the United States from a foreign 

manufacturer or through its selling 

agent.

Participation in the reviews and 

public service list.—Persons, including 

industrial users of the Subject 

Merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in the reviews as parties 

must file an entry of appearance with 

the Secretary to the Commission, as 

provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the 

Commission’s rules, no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. The Secretary will 

maintain a public service list containing 

the names and addresses of all persons, 

or their representatives, who are parties 

to the reviews. 

Former Commission employees who 

are seeking to appear in Commission 

five-year reviews are advised that they 

may appear in a review even if they 

participated personally and 

substantially in the corresponding 

underlying original investigation. The 

Commission’s designated agency ethics 

official has advised that a five-year 

review is not considered the ‘‘same 

particular matter’’ as the corresponding 

underlying original investigation for 

purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post 

employment statute for Federal 

employees, and Commission rule 

201.15(b)(19 CFR 201.15(b)), 73 FR 

24609 (May 5, 2008). This advice was 

developed in consultation with the 

Office of Government Ethics. 

Consequently, former employees are not 

required to seek Commission approval 

to appear in a review under Commission 

rule 19 CFR § 201.15, even if the 

corresponding underlying original 

investigation was pending when they 

were Commission employees. For 

further ethics advice on this matter, 

contact Carol McCue Verratti, Deputy 

Agency Ethics Official, at 202–205– 

3088.

rules, the Secretary will make BPI 

submitted in these reviews available to 

authorized applicants under the APO

application is made no later than 21 

days after publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Authorized 

applicants must represent interested 

parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), 

who are parties to the reviews. A 

separate service list will be maintained 

by the Secretary for those parties 

authorized to receive BPI under the 

APO.

207.3 of the Commission’s rules, any 

person submitting information to the 

Commission in connection with these 

reviews must certify that the 

information is accurate and complete to 

the best of the submitter’s knowledge. In 

making the certification, the submitter 

will be deemed to consent, unless 

otherwise specified, for the 

Commission, its employees, and 

contract personnel to use the 

information provided in any other 

reviews or investigations of the same or 

comparable products which the 

Commission conducts under Title VII of 

the Act, or in internal audits and 

investigations relating to the programs 

and operations of the Commission 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3. 

Written submissions.—Pursuant to 

section 207.61 of the Commission’s 

rules, each interested party response to 

this notice must provide the information 

specified below. The deadline for filing 

such responses is March 31, 2011. 

Pursuant to section 207.62(b) of the 

Commission’s rules, eligible parties (as 

specified in Commission rule 

207.62(b)(1)) may also file comments 

concerning the adequacy of responses to 

the notice of institution and whether the 

Commission should conduct expedited 

or full reviews. The deadline for filing 

such comments is May 16, 2011. All 

written submissions must conform with 

the provisions of sections 201.8 and 

207.3 of the Commission’s rules and any 

submissions that contain BPI must also 

conform with the requirements of 

sections 201.6 and 207.7 of the 

Commission’s rules. The Commission’s 

rules do not authorize filing of 

submissions with the Secretary by 

facsimile or electronic means, except to 

the extent permitted by section 201.8 of 

the Commission’s rules, as amended, 67 

FR 68036 (November 8, 2002). Also, in 

accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 

207.3 of the Commission’s rules, each 

document filed by a party to the reviews 

must be served on all other parties to 

the reviews (as identified by either the 

public or APO service list as 

appropriate), and a certificate of service 

must accompany the document (if you 

are not a party to the reviews you do not 

need to serve your response). 

Inability to provide requested 

information.—Pursuant to section 

207.61(c) of the Commission’s rules, any 

interested party that cannot furnish the 

information requested by this notice in 

the requested form and manner shall 

notify the Commission at the earliest 

possible time, provide a full explanation 

of why it cannot provide the requested 

information, and indicate alternative 

forms in which it can provide 

equivalent information. If an interested 

party does not provide this notification 

(or the Commission finds the 

explanation provided in the notification 

inadequate) and fails to provide a 

complete response to this notice, the 

Commission may take an adverse 

inference against the party pursuant to 

section 776(b) of the Act in making its 

determinations in the reviews.
