SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 22,
2017 (82 FR 44367), FDA gave notice that Zinpro Corp. had filed a
petition to amend Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations in part
573 Food Additives Permitted in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals (21
CFR part 573) to provide for the safe use of chromium DL-

methionine as a nutritional source of chromium in cattle feed.
    Interested persons were originally given until October 23, 2017, to
comment on the petitioner's environmental assessment. The environmental
assessment was not placed on public display until October 13, 2017. On
our own initiative, we are reopening the comment period to allow
potential respondents to thoroughly evaluate and address pertinent
environmental issues. The Agency believes that a 30-day extension
allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments without
significantly delaying rulemaking on this important issue.

    Dated: December 20, 2017.
Leslie Kux,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
