SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic

additive petition (FAP 2248) has been filed by ADM Alliance Nutrition,

Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals (21 CFR 
part 573) to provide for the safe use of feed-grade biuret in lactating 
dairy cattle feed.
    The potential environmental impact of this action is being 
reviewed. To encourage public participation consistent with regulations 
issued under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.4(b)), 
the agency is placing the environmental information submitted with the 
petition that is the subject of this notice on public display at the 
Dockets Management Branch (see ADDRESSES) for public review and 
comment.
    Interested persons may submit to the Dockets Management Branch (see 
ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments. Two copies of any comments 
are to be submitted, except individuals may submit one copy. Comments 
are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the

through Friday. FDA will also place on public display any amendments 
to, or comments on, the petitioner's environmental assessment without 
further announcement in the Federal Register. If, based on its review, 
the agency finds that an environmental impact statement is not required 
and this petition results in a regulation, the notice of availability 
of the agency's finding of no significant impact and the evidence 
supporting that finding will be published with the regulation in the 
Federal Register in accordance with 21 CFR 25.40(c).
