SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of December 23, 2013 
(78 FR 77384) FDA published notice that a food additive petition (FAP) 
had been filed by DSM Nutritional Products, 45 Waterview Blvd., 
Parsippany, NJ 07054. The petition (FAP 2276) proposes to amend Title 
21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in part 573 Food Additives 
Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals (21 CFR part 573) to 
provide for the safe use of ethoxyquin as a chemical preservative in 
vitamin D formulations, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, used 
in animal food. In that document, FDA noted that the petitioner had 
requested a categorical exclusion from preparing an environmental 
assessment or environmental impact statement under 21 CFR 25.32(k).
    Upon further review and request by FDA, the petitioner has filed an 
environmental assessment. To encourage public participation consistent 
with regulations issued under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 
CFR 1501.4(b)), the Agency is placing the environmental assessment 
submitted with the petition that is the subject of this notice on 
public display at the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) 
for public review and comment.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management 
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments regarding this document.

through Friday. FDA will also place on public display any amendments 
to, or comments on, the petitioner's environmental assessment without 
further announcement in the Federal Register. If, based on its review, 
the Agency finds that an environmental impact statement is not required 
and this petition results in a regulation, the notice of availability 
of the Agency's finding of no significant impact and the evidence 
supporting that finding will be published with the regulation in the 
Federal Register in accordance with 21 CFR 25.51(b).
