SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 409(b)(5) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5)), we are giving notice that
we have filed a food additive petition (FAP 2317), submitted by Kemin
Industries, Inc., 1900 Scott Ave., Des Moines, IA 50317. The petition
proposes to amend in 21 CFR part 573--Food Additives Permitted in Feed
and Drinking Water of Animals to provide for the safe use of
formaldehyde as a viral mitigant for ASFv in animal food and food
ingredients.
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: June 21, 2023.
Lauren K. Roth,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
