Brass Sheet and Strip From Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, 
Germany, and Japan: Amended Notice of Continuation of Antidumping Duty 
Orders and Countervailing Duty Orders

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

ACTION: Amended Notice of Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders and 
Countervailing Duty Orders: Brass Sheet and Strip From Brazil, Canada, 
France, Italy, Germany, and Japan.

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

SUMMARY: On May 1, 2000, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, as amended 
(``the Act''), published continuation of the antidumping duty orders on 
brass sheet and strip from Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, and 
Canada, and the countervailing duty orders on brass sheet and strip 
from Brazil and France (65 FR 25304). Subsequent to the issuance of the 
continuation notice, we discovered a ministerial error. As a result, we 
are correcting the next sunset review date of these orders listed in 
the determination section of the notice of continuation of the above 
orders from ``not later than March 2005'' to ``not later than April 
2005.''

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 23, 2000.

of Policy for Import Administration, International Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 1, 2000, the Department issued the continuation of 
antidumping duty orders and countervailing duty orders: brass sheet and 
strip from Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, and Japan. (65 FR 
25304). Subsequent to the publication of the continuation notice, we 
discovered a ministerial error.

Clerical Error

    In our continuation notice, we indicated that we intend to initiate 
the next five-year reviews of these orders not later than March 2005. 
However, because the Department's determination to continue the above 
orders was published on May 1, 2000, pursuant to section 751(c)(2) and 
751(c)(6) of the Act, the Department intends to initiate the next five-
year reviews of these orders not later than April 2005.
    Because we inadvertently listed the wrong initiation month in the 
determination section of our continuation notice, we are amending that 
notice to correct the ministerial error.

Amended Continuation Notice

    We are correcting the month listed in the determination section of 
our continuation notice as follows:
    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(2) and 751 (c)(6) of the Act, the 
Department intends to initiate the next five-year review of these 
orders not later than April 2005.
    This amendment is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(h) and 777(i) of the Act.

    May 16, 2000.
Troy H. Cribb,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
