    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
    Act (sec. 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5))), notice is given that a food 
    additive petition (FAP 4A4409) has been filed by Atlantis Corp., 15 
    Tommy's Lane, East Freetown, MA 02717. The petition proposes that the 
    food additive regulations in part 172 Food Additives Permitted for 
    Direct Addition to Food for Human Consumption (21 CFR part 172) be 
    amended to provide for the safe use of shark liver oil as a dietary 
    supplement for humans.
        The potential environmental impact of this action is being 
    reviewed. To encourage public participation consistent with regulations 
    promulgated under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 
    1501.4(b)), the agency is placing the environmental assessment 
    submitted with the petition that is the subject of this notice on 
    public display at the Dockets Management Branch (address above) for 
    public review and comment. Interested persons may, on or before April 
    25, 1994, submit to the Dockets Management Branch (address above) 
    written comments. Two copies of any comments are to be submitted, 
    except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to be 
    identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of 
    this document. Received comments may be seen in the office above 
    between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday 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).
    
        Dated: March 14, 1994.
