Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective February 19, 2019, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by the Coalition for Acetone Fair Trade, consisting of AdvanSix Inc., 
Parsippany, New Jersey, Altivia Petrochemicals, LLC, Haverhill, Ohio, 
and Olin Corporation, Clayton, Missouri. The Commission scheduled the 
final phase of the investigations following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of acetone from Singapore and 
Spain were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). 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 on 
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.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d (b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on December 5, 2019. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4997 (December 
2019), entitled Acetone from Singapore and Spain: Investigation Nos. 
731-TA-1438 and 1440 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
