SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (section 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5)), notice is given that a 
food additive petition (FAP 2297) has been filed by Akzo Nobel Surface 
Chemistry AB, Stenungsunds fabriker, 444 85 Stenungsund, Sweden. The 
petition proposes to amend Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) in part 573 Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water 
of Animals (21 CFR part 573) to provide for the safe use of glyceryl 
polyethylene glycol (15) ricinoleate as an emulsifier in animal food 
that does not include food for cats, dogs, vitamin premixes, or 
aquaculture.
    The potential environmental impact of this action is being 
reviewed. To encourage public participation consistent with regulations 
issued under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.4(b)), 
the Agency is placing the environmental assessment (EA) submitted with 
the petition that is the subject of this notice on public display at 
the Dockets Management Staff (see DATES and ADDRESSES) for public 
review and comment.
    FDA will also place on public display, at the Dockets Management 
Staff, and at https://www.regulations.gov, any amendments to, or 
comments on, the petitioner's EA 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 the evidence supporting that finding will be 
published with the regulation in the Federal Register in accordance 
with 21 CFR 25.51(b).

    Dated: September 14, 2017.
