Whereas:

(1) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, a preparation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC R404 as a feed additive for dairy cows was authorised by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/502 (2).

(3) On 8 January 2020, the holder of the authorisation, Micron Bio-systems Ltd, submitted an application pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 proposing to amend the name of its representative. The applicant submits that FF Chemicals BV will act as its representative in the Union for the feed additive concerned. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data.

(4) The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.

Consequently, the name of the representative should be amended in the title of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/502 and in the Annex to that Regulation.

(6) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/502 should therefore be amended accordingly.
