The petition covers cellulose acetate (degree of substitution = 1.5¥2.0), commonly referred to as cellulose diacetate. Cellulose acetate in this range generally has similar properties. The petition uses the lowest end of the range cellulose acetate DS = 1.5 to demonstrate that >20% of the substance is made from taxable chemicals, and the midpoint cellulose acetate DS = 1.75 to calculate the tax rate for the entire range. (6) Process Identified in Petition as Predominant Method of Production of Substance: Cellulose acetate is derived from cellulose by deconstructing wood pulp into a purified cellulose. The cellulose is reacted with acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid. It is subjected to a controlled, partial hydrolysis to remove the sulfate and a sufficient number of acetate groups to give the product the desired degree of substitution. The polymer unit is the fundamental repeating structure of cellulose and has three hydroxyl groups which can react to form acetate esters. The most common form of cellulose acetate fiber has an acetate group on approximately two of every three hydroxyls, referred to as cellulose diacetate. In Petitioner’s cellulose acetate, the actual substitution is 1.674 acetate/cellulose, a degree of substitution commonly used in US cellulose acetate production. (7) Stoichiometric Material Consumption Equation, Based on Process Identified as Predominant Method of Production: 3.5 CH4 + 1.75 O2 + C6H10O5 → C9.5H13.5O6.75 + 3.50 H2 + 1.75 H2O (8) Rate of Tax Calculated by Petitioner Based on Petitioner’s Conversion Factors for Taxable Chemicals Used in Production of Substance: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Calculation of Tax Rate using mid-point cellulose acetate DS = 1.75 Rate of Tax: $1.65 per ton Conversion Factor: 0.24 methane (9) Public Docket Number: IRS–2023– 0010.
