SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The International Trade

Administration’s Advocacy Center

marshals federal resources to assist U.S.

firms competing for foreign government

procurements worldwide. The

Advocacy Center is under the umbrella

of the Trade Promotion Coordination

Committee (TPCC), which is chaired by

the Secretary of Commerce and includes

19 federal agencies involved in export

promotion. The TPCC is tasked with

assessing the U.S. Government (USG)

advocacy in order to achieve a

maximum increase in exports and to

maximize job creation for American

workers. The purpose of the

questionnaire is to collect the necessary

information to make an evaluation as to

whether a U.S. firm qualifies for USG

advocacy assistance. There are clear,

well-established USG Advocacy

Guidelines that describe the various

situations in which the USG can

provide advocacy support for a U.S.

firm. The questionnaire was developed

to collect only the information

necessary to determine if the U.S. firm

meets the conditions set forth in the

guidelines. The Advocacy Center,

appropriate ITA officials, our U.S.

Embassies worldwide, and other federal

government agencies that provide

advocacy support to U.S. firms

(Advocacy Network), will request U.S.

firm(s) seeking USG advocacy support

to complete the questionnaire. Without

this information we will be unable to

determine if a U.S. firm is eligible for

U.S. Government advocacy assistance.

II. Method of Collection

Form ITA–4133P is sent to U.S. firms

that request USG advocacy assistance.

IV. Request for Comments

Comments are invited on (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

Brass Sheet and Strip From Canada:

Final Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review and Notice of

Intent Not To Revoke Order in Part

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review and Notice of Intent Not to

Revoke Order in Part.

SUMMARY: In response to a request by the

respondent, the Department of

Commerce is conducting an

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on brass sheet

and strip from Canada. The review

covers one manufacturer/exporter of

this merchandise to the United States,

Wolverine Tube (Canada), Inc. The

period covered is January 1, 1996

through December 31, 1996. As a result

of the review, the Department

preliminarily determined that no

dumping margins existed for this

respondent. However, upon

consideration of petitioner’s and

respondent’s case briefs and rebuttal

briefs, we have now determined that a

dumping margin does exist. Therefore,

we are not revoking the order with

respect to brass sheet and strip from

Canada manufactured by Wolverine

Tube (Canada), Inc.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 17, 1998.
