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 2304) has been filed by Idemitsu Kosan, Cp. 
Ltd., Agri-Bio Business Dept., 1-1 Marunouchi 3-Chome, Chiyoda-Ku, 
Tokyo 1000-8321, Japan. The petition proposes to amend Title 21 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in part 573 (21 CFR part 573) Food 
Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals to provide 
for the safe use of silicon dioxide (21 CFR 573.940) as a carrier for 
flavors for use in animal feed.
    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. 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: September 19, 2017.

Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning, Legislation, and Analysis.
