Brass Sheet and Strip From France, 

Italy, Germany and Japan: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

(‘‘AD’’) orders on brass sheet and strip 

from France, Germany, Italy and Japan 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and the 

determinations by the International 

Trade Commission (the ‘‘ITC’’) that 

revocation of the AD orders would 

likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States, the 

Department is publishing this notice of 

the continuation of the AD orders. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 26, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 1 and 2, 2011, respectively, 

the Department and the ITC initiated the 

third sunset reviews of the antidumping 

duty orders on brass sheet and strip 

from France, Italy, Germany and Japan, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). 

See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) 

Review, 76 FR 11202 (March 1, 2011); 

and Brass Sheet and Strip from France, 

Germany, Italy, and Japan, 

Investigations Nos. 731–TA–313, 314, 

317, and 379 (Third Review), 76 FR 

11509 (March 2, 2011). As a result of 

this sunset review, the Department 

determined that revocation of the 

antidumping duty orders on brass sheet 

and strip from France, Italy, Germany 

and Japan would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and notified the ITC of the magnitude of 

the margins likely to prevail should the 

orders be revoked. See Brass Sheet and 

Strip from France, Italy and Japan: Final 

Results of the Expedited Third Sunset 

Reviews of the Antidumping Duty 

Orders, 76 FR 39849 (July 7, 2011); and 

Brass Sheet and Strip from Germany: 

Final Results of the Full Third Five-Year 

(‘‘Sunset’’) Review of the Antidumping 

Duty Order, 77 FR 4762, (January 31, 

2012). 

On April 19, 2012, pursuant to section 

752(a) of the Act, the ITC published its 

determination that revocation of the 

antidumping duty orders on brass sheet 

and strip from France, Germany, Italy 

and Japan would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. See Brass Sheet and Strip from 

France, Germany, Italy and Japan, 

Investigation Nos. 731 TA 313, 314, 317
