Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On April 1, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated a sunset review
of the countervailing duty order
(‘‘CVD’’) on brass sheet and strip from
France pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’). On the basis of a notice of intent
to participate and an adequate
substantive response filed on behalf of
the domestic interested parties and an
adequate response from respondent
interested parties, the Department
determined to conduct a full sunset
review of this CVD order pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(2). As a result of this sunset
review, the Department finds that
revocation of the CVD order would not
be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of a countervailable subsidy.
Therefore, the Department is revoking
this CVD order.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 2, 2006.

Background
Recovery plans describe actions
considered necessary for the
conservation and recovery of species
listed under the Endangered Species Act
of 1973 (ESA), as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.). The ESA requires that
recovery plans incorporate (1) objective,
measurable criteria which, when met,
would result in a determination that the
species is no longer threatened or
endangered; (2) site-specific
management actions necessary to
achieve the plan’s goals; and (3)
estimates of the time required and costs
to implement recovery actions. The ESA
requires the development of recovery
plans for listed species unless such a
plan would not promote the recovery of
a particular species.
NMFS’ goal is to restore endangered
and threatened Pacific salmon ESUs to
the point where they are again secure,
self-sustaining members of their
