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 2231) has been filed by Rhone-Poulenc Animal
Nutrition, 42, Avenue Aristide Briand, B. P. 100, 92164 Antony Cedex,
France. The petition proposes to amend the food additive regulations in
Sec. 573.870 (21 CFR 573.870) to provide for the safe use of poly(2-
vinylpyridine-co-styrene) as a coating agent in the preparation of
rumen-stable, abomasum-dispersible nutrient products for dairy cattle
and dairy replacement heifers.
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 October
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
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).
Dated: August 3, 1994.
