SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is extending the time limit for its final results in the expedited sunset reviews of the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on brass sheet and strip from Germany (AD), Brazil (CVD), and France (CVD). As a result of this extension, the Department intends to issue final results of these sunset reviews on or about October 28, 2005. DATES: EFFECTIVE DATE: July 27, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Extension of Final Results: On April 1, 2005, the Department initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on brass sheet and strip from Germany, Brazil, and France. See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 70 FR 16800 (April 1, 2005). Based on adequate responses from the domestic interested parties and inadequate responses from respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting expedited sunset reviews to determine whether revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on brass sheet and strip would lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping or a countervailable subsidy. The Department’s final results of these reviews were scheduled for August 1, 2005; however, the Department needs additional time for its analysis.
