-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing
that we have filed a petition, submitted by Micro-Tracers, Inc.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (section 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5))), we are giving notice
that we have filed a food additive petition (FAP 2316), submitted by
Micro-Tracers, Inc., 1375 Van Dyke Ave., San Francisco, CA 94124. The
petition proposes to amend Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) in 21 CFR part 573, Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking
Water of Animals, to provide for the safe use of ethyl cellulose as a
matrix scaffolding in tracers for use in feeds at no more than 0.09
grams per ton of feed (0.1 ppm).
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 that may significantly
affect the quality of the human environment. 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: February 1, 2023.
Lauren K. Roth,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
