AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 28, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of preliminary results of the full 
sunset review of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip 
(``BSS'') from Germany (70 FR 62093) pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). We provided interested 
parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results. We did 
not receive comments from either domestic or respondent interested 
parties. As a result of this review, the Department finds that 
revocation of this order would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the ``Final Results of 
Review'' section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 28, 2005, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published in the Federal Register a notice of 
preliminary results of the full sunset review of the antidumping duty 
order on BSS from Germany, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See 
Brass Sheet and Strip from Germany: Preliminary Results of the Sunset 
Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 62093 (October 28, 2005) 
(``Preliminary Results''). In our Preliminary Results, we determined 
that revocation of the order would likely result in continuation or 
recurrence of dumping with a margin of 3.81 percent for Wieland-Werke 
AG and an ``all others'' rate of 7.30 percent. We did not receive a 
case brief on behalf of either domestic or respondent interested 
parties within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i).

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by this order is brass sheet and strip, other 
than leaded and tinned. The chemical composition of the covered product 
is currently defined in the Copper Development Association (``C.D.A.'') 
200 Series or the Unified Numbering System (``U.N.S.'') C2000. This 
order does not cover products with chemical compositions that are 
defined by anything other than either the C.D.A. or U.N.S. series. In 
physical dimensions, the product covered by this order has a solid 
rectangular cross section over 0.0006 inches (0.15 millimeters) through 
0.1888 inches (4.8 millimeters) in finished thickness or gauge, 
regardless of width. Coiled, wound-on-reels (traverse wound), and cut-
to-length products are included. The merchandise is currently 
classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(``HTSUS'') item numbers 7409.21.00 and 7409.29.00. The HTSUS numbers 
are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written 
description of the scope of this order remains dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    The Department did not receive case briefs from either domestic or 
respondent interested parties. Therefore, we have not made any changes 
to our Preliminary Results.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on BSS 
from Germany would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
dumping at the following weighted-average margins:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Manufacturer/Exporter                  Margin (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wieland-Werke AG......................................              3.81
All Others............................................              7.30
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(c), 752, and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
