the United States Department of

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (‘‘the Act’’), are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

Agreements Act. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

regulations at 19 CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

On January 28, 2000, Olin

Corporation, Outokumpu American

Brass, Revere Copper Products, Inc., the

International Association of Machinists

and Aerospace Workers, the United

Auto Workers (Local 2367) and the

United Steelworkers of America (AFL–

CIO/CLC) (collectively, petitioners), in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b),

requested an administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on brass

sheet and strip from Canada covering

Wolverine Tube (Canada), Inc. On

February 17, 2000, in accordance with

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an

administrative review of this order for

the period January 1, 1999 through

December 31, 1999 (65 FR 10466,

February 28, 2000). On September 19,

2000, the petitioners withdrew their

request for this review. Additionally, on

October 2, 2000, Wolverine Tube

(Canada), Inc. and Wolverine Ratcliffs

Inc. informed the Department that they

do not object to the termination of the

current administrative review.

Recission of Review

The Department’s regulations at 19

CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that the

Department will rescind an

administrative review if the party that

requested the review withdraws its

request for review within 90 days of the

date of publication of the notice of

initiation of the requested review, or

withdraws its request at a later date if

the Department determines that it is

reasonable to extend the time limit for

withdrawing the request. The

petitioners withdrew their request for

review after the 90 day period.

However, the Department has granted

the request to rescind the review

because the petitioners were the only

party to request the review, and it is

otherwise reasonable to rescind the

review based on the petitioners’

withdrawal of their request.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with section

751 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675) and 19

CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Dated: October 18, 2000.

Holly A. Kuga,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import

Administration.
