SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 409(b)(5) of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5)), we are giving notice that 
we have filed a food additive petition (FAP 2318), submitted by Kemin 
Industries, Inc, 1900 Scott Ave., Des Moines, IA 50317. The petition 
proposes to amend in 21 CFR part 573--Food Additives Permitted in Feed 
and Drinking Water of Animals to provide for the safe use of chromium 
propionate to be used as a source of chromium in turkey feed.
    We are reviewing the potential environmental impact of this 
petition. To encourage public participation consistent with regulations 
issued under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.5(e)), 
we are placing the environmental assessment submitted with the petition 
that is the subject of this notice on public display at the Dockets 
Management Staff (see ADDRESSES) for public review and comment.
    We will also place on public display, in the Dockets Management 
Staff and at https://www.regulations.gov, any amendments to, or 
comments on, the petitioner's environmental assessment without further 
announcement in the Federal Register. If, based on our review, we find 
that an environmental impact statement is not required, and this 
petition results in a regulation, we will publish the notice of 
availability of our finding of no significant impact and the evidence 
supporting that finding with the regulation in the Federal Register in 
accordance with 21 CFR 25.51(b).

    Dated: July 24, 2023.
