that we have filed a food additive petition (FAP 2314), submitted by 
Biomin Holdings GmbH, Biomin Research Center, Technopark 1, 3430 Tulin, 
Austria. 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 fumonisin esterase to degrade fumonisins in poultry feed.
    The petitioner has claimed that this action is categorically

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.
