Jkt 241001
§ 172.380 (21 CFR 172.380) Vitamin D3
by replacing the current RDI percentage
values of calcium in fruit juices and
fruit juice drinks specified in
§ 172.380(c)(1) and (2) with absolute
values and to update the specifications
for vitamin D3 established in
§ 172.380(b) by incorporating by
reference the most recent edition of the
Food Chemicals Codex.
These proposed changes would allow
manufacturers of fruit juices and fruit
juice drinks that are fortified with
calcium to maintain the absolute level
of added calcium at 330 milligrams (mg)
and 130 mg, respectively, as established
in our regulations at § 172.380(c)(1) and
(2).
We have determined under 21 CFR
25.30(i) that this action is of a type that
does not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human
environment because the amendments
are administrative in nature and permit
manufacturers of fruit juices and fruit
juice drinks that are fortified with
calcium to maintain current calcium
fortification levels in these products.
Therefore, neither an environmental
assessment nor an environmental
impact statement is required.
Dated: July 19, 2017.

Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning,
Legislation, and Analysis.

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 2303) has been filed by
Zinpro Corp., 10400 Viking Dr., Suite
240, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. 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 zinc-Lselenomethionine as a nutritional
source of selenium in complete feed for
laying hens and for the safe use of
silicon dioxide (21 CFR 573.940) as an
anticaking agent for use with zinc-Lselenomethionine as a feed component.
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.
