[Docket No. FDA-2014-F-1184]
Zinpro Corp.; Filing of Food Additive Petition (Animal Use)
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notification; petition for rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing
that Zinpro Corp. has filed a petition proposing that the food additive
regulations be amended to provide for the safe use of silicon dioxide
as an anticaking agent for the use with zinc-L-selenomethionine as a
feed component.
DATES: The food additive petition was filed on July 29, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (section 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5))), notice is given that a
food additive petition (FAP 2285) has been filed by Zinpro Corp., 10400
Viking Dr., Suite 240, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. The petition proposes to
amend Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in part 573 (21
CFR part 573) Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of
Animals to provide for the safe use of silicon dioxide as an anticaking
agent for the use with zinc-L-selenomethionine as a feed component. In
an earlier notice of petition (79 FR 49465, August 21, 2014), the use
of silicon dioxide was omitted.
The petitioner has claimed that this action is categorically
excluded under 21 CFR 25.32(r) because it is of a type that does not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. In addition, the petitioner has stated that, to their
knowledge, no extraordinary circumstances exist. If FDA determines a
categorical exclusion applies, neither an environmental assessment nor
an environmental impact statement is required. If FDA determines a
categorical exclusion does not apply, we will request an environmental
assessment and make it available for public inspection.
Dated: October 25, 2018.
Leslie Kux,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
