SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 1, 2012, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the notice of opportunity to request 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet 
and strip from Italy for the period of review, March 1, 2011, through 
February 29, 2012. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 77 FR 12559 (March 1, 2012). On April 2, 2012, 
GBC Metals, LLC, of Global Brass and Copper, Inc., dba Olin Brass, 
Heyco Metals, Inc., Aurubis Bufalo, Inc., PMX Industries, Inc., and 
Revere Copper Products, Inc. (collectively, ``Petitioners'') timely 
requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of KME 
Italy SpA (``KME Italy''). Pursuant to this request and in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published a notice 
initiating the administrative review of KME Italy. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 25401 (April 30, 2012). On July 26, 2012, 
Petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review of KME 
Italy.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, Petitioners withdrew their request for

[[Page 49781]]

review of KME Italy within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation. Moreover, no other interested party requested an 
administrative review of KME Italy. Therefore, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all entries of brass sheet 
and strip from Italy. 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 intends to 
issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date 
of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 presumption that reimbursement of 
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent increase in antidumping 
duties by the amount of antidumping duties reimbursed.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 9, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
