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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

implementation plan revision as a direct 

final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this rule, no further activity 

is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse 

comments, the direct final rule will be 

withdrawn and all public comments 

received will be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period on this 

document. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this document should 

do so at this time.
