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.
