SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip from Japan with respect 
to 22 companies for the period August 1, 2012, through July 31, 2013, 
based on a request by GBC Metals, LLC, of Global Brass and Copper, 
Inc., doing business as Olin Brass; Heyco Metals, Inc.; Aurubis 
Buffalo, Inc.; PMX Industries, Inc.; and Revere Copper Products, Inc. 
(collectively, Petitioners).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 
60834 (October 2, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 19, 2013, Petitioners withdrew their request for an 
administrative review on all 22 companies. No other party requested a 
review.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In 
this case, Petitioners withdrew their request within the 90-day 
deadline, and no other parties requested an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order. Therefore, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of brass sheet and strip from Japan covering the 
period August 1, 2012, through July 31, 2013.

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 Japan during the period August 1, 2012 to July 31, 2013, 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)(l)(i). The Department 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of publication of this notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final 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 presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 
written notification of the return or 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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 20, 2014.

Senior Advisor for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
