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 2300) has been filed by the Zinpro Corp., 
10400 Viking Dr., Suite 240, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. 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 chromium DL-methionine 
as a nutritional source of chromium in cattle feed.
    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 for public review and comment (see DATES 
and ADDRESSES). FDA will also place on public display 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 15, 2017.
