meta-xylylenediamine and 3-diethylaminopropylamine as components of
articles intended for food-contact use.
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

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 evidence supporting that finding
will be published with the regulation in the Federal Register in
accordance with 21 CFR 25.40(c).
