we continue to find that three of the

merchandise has been sold at less than

Background
On April 11, 2016, the Department
published the Preliminary Results. The
period of review (POR) is March 1,
2014, through February 28, 2015. We
invited interested parties to comment on
the Preliminary Results. We received no
comments from any party. The
Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order covers
shipments of brass sheet and strip, other
than leaded and tinned, from Germany.
The chemical composition of the
covered products is currently defined in
the Copper Development Association
(CDA) 200 Series or the Unified
Numbering System (UNS) C2000; this
review does not cover products the
chemical compositions of which are
defined by other CDA or UNS series. In
physical dimensions, the products
covered by this review have a solid
rectangular cross section over 0.006
inches (0.15 millimeters) through 0.188
inches (4.8 millimeters) in finished
thickness or gauge, regardless of width.

7409.29.0090. Although the HTSUS
item numbers are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
order remains dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As noted above, the Department
received no comments concerning the
Preliminary Results of this segment of
the proceeding. As there are no changes
from, or comments on, the Preliminary
Results, the Department continues to
find that Schwermetall, ThyssenKrupp,
and Wieland had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, and, therefore, no
reviewable transactions, during the
POR. Further, we find that subject
merchandise has been sold at less than
normal value by Aurubis, Schreiber,
KME, Messingwerk, MKM, Schlenk, and
Sundwiger. Accordingly, the
preliminary issues and decision
memorandum is adopted in toto as the
final decision memorandum and no new
decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. For further
details of the issues addressed in this
proceeding, see the Preliminary Results
and the accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.4
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, the
Department determines that the
