SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 3, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 73 FR 11389 (March 3, 2008), for the March 7, 
2007, through February 29, 2008, administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip from Germany. On March 
28, 2008, the Department received a timely filed request for review 
from Wieland-Werke AG (``Wieland''). On April 25, 2008, the Department 
published in the Federal Register the Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 73 FR 22337 (April 25, 2008), in which the Department 
initiated the administrative review of brass sheet and strip from 
Germany.

Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review

    On July 9, 2008, we received a timely filed submission from Wieland 
withdrawing its request for an administrative review. Wieland filed its 
withdrawal request within the deadline established by section 
351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations. No other parties have 
requested a review of Wieland or any other producer or exporter of the 
subject merchandise. Therefore, we are rescinding the above-cited 
administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
the company for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties 
shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated 
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). 
The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly 
to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a 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 Regarding APOs

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (``APOs'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 14, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
