  • 2025-02573 — Acetone From Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain; Notice of Commission Determination To Conduct Full Five-Year Reviews
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 9553
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The United States International Trade Commission has announced that it will conduct full reviews to assess if lifting antidumping duties on acetone from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain could lead to material harm to domestic industries. These reviews are part of the Tariff Act of 1930, which allows the Commission to determine the impact of revoking trade measures. Although responses from some countries like Belgium, South Korea, and Singapore were inadequate, the Commission decided to review all countries' cases for administrative efficiency. A schedule for these reviews will be announced later.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is checking if stopping special taxes on a chemical called acetone, which we get from certain countries, might hurt businesses in America. They're being extra careful by looking at all the countries even if some didn't send enough information back.

  • 2021-03902 — Thermal Paper From Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Spain: Postponement of Preliminary Determinations in the Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 11502
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced a delay in the preliminary determinations for the investigations into less-than-fair-value (LTFV) imports of thermal paper from Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Spain. These determinations were originally expected by March 16, 2021, but will now be postponed by 50 days, making them due no later than May 5, 2021. This delay was requested by the petitioners to give more time to address issues in the responses to their questionnaires and to synchronize the investigations' schedules. The final determinations are set to be made 75 days after the new preliminary determinations date, unless further delayed.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce is taking a little extra time to look into whether certain types of paper from Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Spain are being sold in the U.S. for less than they should be. This means they'll figure out what's going on by May 5, 2021, instead of March 16, 2021, so they can make a fair decision and be sure of all the facts.

    Simple Explanation

    The President said the Secretary of State can choose to sell some powerful technology to South Korea, which helps make explosive bombs, if it's important to keep America safe, even if some laws usually don't allow it.
