SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope.—For purposes of this
investigation, Commerce has defined
the subject merchandise as is ‘‘all grades
of liquid or aqueous acetone. Acetone is
also known under the International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) name propan-2-one. In
addition to the IUPAC name, acetone is
also referred to as b-ketopropane (or
betaketopropane), ketone propane,
methyl ketone, dimethyl ketone, DMK,
dimethyl carbonyl, propanone, 2propanone, dimethyl formaldehyde,
pyroacetic acid, pyroacetic ether, and
pyroacetic spirit. Acetone is an isomer
of the chemical formula C3H6O, with a
specific molecular formula of
CH3COCH3 or (CH3)2CO. The scope
includes acetone that is combined or
mixed with other products, including,
but not limited to, isopropyl alcohol,
benzene, diethyl ether, methanol,
chloroform, and ethanol, regardless of
the quantity or value of the acetone
component. For such combined
products, only the acetone component is
covered by the scope of these
investigations. Acetone that has been
combined with other products is
included within the scope, regardless of
whether the combining occurs in third
countries.’’
Background.—The final phase of
these investigations is being scheduled,
pursuant to section 735(b) of the Tariff
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), as a
result of affirmative preliminary
determinations by Commerce that
imports of acetone from Belgium, Korea,
Singapore, South Africa, and Spain are
being sold in the United States at less
than fair value within the meaning of
section 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b).
The investigations were requested in a
petition filed on February 19, 2019 by
AdvanSix Inc., Parsippany, New Jersey,
Altivia Petrochemicals, LLC, Haverhill,
Ohio, and Olin Corporation, Clayton,
Missouri.

must represent interested parties, as
defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are
parties to the investigations. A party
granted access to BPI in the preliminary
phase of the investigations need not
reapply for such access. A separate
service list will be maintained by the
Secretary for those parties authorized to
receive BPI under the APO.
Staff report.—The prehearing staff
report in the final phase of these
investigations will be placed in the
nonpublic record on October 4, 2019,
and a public version will be issued
thereafter, pursuant to section 207.22 of
the Commission’s rules.
