SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 29, 2019, the Commission
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of
its investigations on acetone from Belgium, Korea, Singapore, South
Africa, and Spain,\1\ following a preliminary determination by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of acetone from
Belgium, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, and Spain were being sold at
less than fair value (LTFV) in the United States.\2\ Notice of the
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of August 26, 2019 (84 FR 44635). The
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on October 21, 2019, and all
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel. On October 21, 2019, Commerce issued a final
affirmative determination of sales at LTFV with respect to imports of
acetone from Singapore and Spain.\3\ The Commission issued its final
affirmative determination regarding LTFV imports of acetone from
Singapore and Spain on December 5, 2019.
