use of propionic acid as an antimicrobial agent to control Salmonella
in animal feed and feed ingredients when used at the rate of 10
kilograms per ton.
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 July

written comments. Two copies of any comments are to be submitted,
except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to be

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
findings 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).
