‘‘Spawning SMZs’’. The amendment 

would also modify the framework 

procedure to allow modifications of 

and/or additional Spawning SMZs 

through the Snapper Grouper Fishery 

Management Plan for the South 

Atlantic. The amendment includes 

sample sites for Spawning SMZ sites 

and allows for the boundary of the 

existing Charleston Deep Artificial Reef 

MPA off the coast of South Carolina to 

be moved to accommodate recently 

deployed artificial reef material. Fishing 

for or possession of snapper grouper 

species would be prohibited within the 

Spawning SMZs, but fishermen would 

be allowed to troll for pelagic species 

(e.g., mackerels, billfish, tunas, etc.). 

The amendment also includes 

alternatives for transit and anchoring 

provisions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the 

antidumping duty order is brass sheet 

and strip, other than leaded brass and 

tin brass sheet and strip, from Germany, 

which is currently classified under 

subheading 7409.21.00.50, 

7409.21.00.75, 7409.21.00.90, 

7409.29.00.50, 7409.29.00.75, and 

7409.29.00.90 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise subject to the order is 

dispositive.5

Methodology 

In accordance with sections 776(a) 

and (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), we relied on facts 

available with an adverse inference with 

respect to Messingwerk, the sole 

company selected for individual 

examination in this review. Thus, we 

preliminarily assign a rate of 55.60 

percent as the dumping margin for 

Messingwerk. In making these findings, 

we relied on facts available because 

Messingwerk failed to respond to the 

Department’s antidumping duty 

questionnaire, and thus withheld 

requested information, failed to provide 

requested information by the 

established deadlines, and significantly 

impeded this proceeding. See sections 

776(a)(1) and (2)(A)–(C) of the Act. 

Furthermore, because we preliminarily 

determine that Messingwerk failed to 

cooperate by not acting to the best of its 

ability to comply with the Department’s 

requests for information, we drew an 

adverse inference in selecting from 

among the facts otherwise available. See 

section 776(b) of the Act. 

Additionally, as indicated in the 

‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’ section 

below, we preliminarily determine that 

a margin of 22.61 percent applies to the 

six firms not selected for individual 

review. We preliminarily determined to 

base the dumping margin for the six 

companies not selected for individual 

examination in this review on an 

average of the range of certain dumping 

margins contained in the underlying 

Petition.6 For further information, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

at ‘‘Rate for Non-Examined Companies.’’ 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included in the 

Appendix attached to this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is a public document and 

is on file electronically via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS).7

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov and to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at: http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

A list of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an Appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on our analysis of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) 

information and information provided 

by Schwermetall, ThyssenKrupp, and 

Wieland, we preliminarily determine 

that Schwermetall, ThyssenKrupp, and 

Wieland had no shipments of the 

subject merchandise, and, therefore, no 

reviewable transactions, during the 

POR. For a full discussion of this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following dumping margins on brass 

sheet and strip from Germany exist for 

the period March 1, 2013, through 

February 28, 2014 at the following rates: 

Producer and/or exporter Margin

11See Preliminary Decision Memorandum for 

additional details. 

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of the issues raised in any 

written briefs, not later than 120 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. If the preliminary results are 

unchanged for the final results we will 

instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem 

assessment rate of 55.60 percent to all 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR which were produced and/or 

exported by Messingwerk, and an ad 

valorem assessment rate of 22.61 

percent to all entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR which 

were produced and/or exported by the 

six aforementioned companies which 

were not selected for individual 

examination. 

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of brass sheet 

and strip from Germany entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit 

rates for the reviewed companies will be 

the rates established in the final results 

of this review; (2) for merchandise 

exported by manufacturers or exporters 

not covered in this review but covered 

in a prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the less-than-fair-value 

investigation but the manufacturer is, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the manufacturer of the 

merchandise; (4) if neither the exporter 

nor the manufacturer has its own rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be 7.30 

percent.11 These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notifications to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act.
