SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--These investigations are being

Department of Commerce that imports of furfuryl alcohol from China and 
South Africa 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. 
Sec. 1673b). The investigations were requested in a petition filed on 
May 31, 1994, by counsel on behalf of QO Chemicsls, Inc., West 
Lafayette, IN.

Persons wishing to participate in the investigations as parties must

the names and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who

an administrative protective order (APO) and BPI service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary
