SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
[top] On March 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register a notice of "Opportunity to Request Administrative Review" of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip from France for the period of review (POR) of March 1, 2012, through February 28, 2013.1The Department received a timely request from petitioners 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), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip from France. On May 1, 2013, the Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip from France with respect to two companies, Griset, S.A. and KME

The Department stated in its initiation of this review that it intended to rely on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data to select respondents.3However, our review of the CBP database, with respect to the companies for which this review was requested, showed no entries of subject merchandise during the POR.4We released the results of our CBP data query to the petitioners (the only interested party to this segment of the proceeding) and invited them to comment on the CBP data. We received no comments on the CBP data.

Rescission of Review
Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations stipulates that the Secretary will rescind an administrative review under this section, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. As the only party that requested a review (petitioners) withdrew the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review, we are rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on brass sheet and strip from France pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).5We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.
