A list of the issues raised in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix II. Changes From the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested parties, we made certain changes to the dumping margin calculations for PT. Asia Pacific Fibers Tbk (Asia Pacific), PT. Mutu Gading Tekstil (Mutu Gading), and the All-Others rate. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Use of Facts Available and Adverse Facts Available We find that the use of facts available is warranted in determining the rate for mandatory respondent PT. Polyfin Canggih (Polyfin), pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) and (2)(A)–(C) of the Act, and the rate for mandatory respondent Asia Pacific, pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) and (2)(A)–(D) of the Act.6 Further, use of adverse facts available is warranted with respect to Polyfin and Asia Pacific because these two mandatory respondents did not cooperate to the best of their ability to comply with our requests for information and, accordingly, we applied adverse inferences in selecting from the facts available, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308(a). All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other producers and exporters not individually investigated shall be equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for individually investigated exporters and producers, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for Mutu Gading but is using an August 4, 2021; see also PT. Asia Pacific Fibers Tbk’s Letter, ‘‘Polyester Textured Yarn from Indonesia: Submission of Response to the Revised Questionnaire in Lieu of Verification,’’ dated August 13, 2021; and PT.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Preliminary Results, 
and because we received no comments from interested parties to the 
contrary, Commerce continues to find that Jacobi should be collapsed 
with JAM, and that the Jacobi single entity, inclusive of JAM, should 
be assigned the same AD cash deposit rate assigned to Jacobi for 
purposes of determining AD liability in this proceeding.\5\ As a result 
of this determination and consistent with established practice, we find 
that JAM should receive the cash deposit rate previously assigned to 
Jacobi in the most recently completed review of the Order. The cash 
deposit rate assigned to Jacobi in the most recently completed review 
was $0.65 per kilogram.\6\ Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments 
of subject merchandise exported by JAM and entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register at $0.65 per kilogram, which is the 
current AD cash deposit rate for Jacobi. This cash deposit requirement 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
