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 2323), submitted by Green
Innovation GmbH, Grabenweg 68-A6020, Innsbruck, Austria. The petition
proposes that we amend our food additive regulations in 21 CFR part
573--Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals, to
provide for the safe use of hydrolyzed lignin as a source of neutral
detergent soluble fiber in food for broiler chickens, laying hens,
turkeys, growing swine, sows, lactating dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep,
goats, salmonids, and adult dogs at no more than 1% of the food on a
weight basis or 10 kilograms per metric ton of food.
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.
Lowell M. Zeta,
Acting Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International
Affairs.
