SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (sec. 409(b)(5) (21 U.S.C. 348(b)(5))), notice is given that a food 
additive petition (FAP 1M4727) has been filed by the National Fisheries 
Institute, 1901 North Fort Myer Dr., Arlington, VA 22209. The petition 
proposes to amend the food additive regulations in Part 179 Irradiation 
in the Production, Processing and Handling of Food (21 CFR part 179) to 
provide for the safe use of ionizing radiation for control of foodborne 
pathogens in raw-, frozen-, cooked-, partially cooked-, shelled-, or 
dried-crustaceans, or cooked- or ready-to-cook crustaceans processed 
with batter, breading, spices, or small amounts of other food 
ingredients.
    The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.32(j) that this action is 
of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental 
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.

    Dated: January 11, 2001.

Director, Office of Premarket Approval, Center for Food Safety and 
Applied Nutrition.
