Food Substances Affirmed as Generally Recognized as Safe in Feed and Drinking Water of Animals

This regulation affirms certain food substances as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in animal feed and drinking water. Specific substances listed include ethyl alcohol with ethyl acetate as an energy source in ruminant supplements, hydrophobic silicas as anticaking agents in vitamin preparations (limited to 5%), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 as a vitamin D3 source in broiler chicken feed and water (not exceeding 69 ppb in feed or 34.5 ppb in water), each with defined purity and usage specifications.

Subpart B—Listing of Specific Substances Affirmed as GRAS

§ 584.200 Ethyl alcohol containing ethyl acetate.

The feed additive ethyl alcohol containing ethyl acetate meets the requirement of 27 CFR 21.62, being not less than 92.5 percent ethyl alcohol, each 100 gallons having had added the equivalent of 4.25 gallons of 100 percent ethyl acetate. It is used in accordance with good feeding practices in ruminant feed supplements as a source of added energy.

§ 584.700 Hydrophobic silicas.

(a) Product. Amorphous fumed hydrophobic silica or precipitated hydrophobic silica (CAS Reg. No. 68611-0944-099, silane, dichlorodimethyl-, reaction products with silica).

(b) Conditions of use. An anticaking/free-flow agent in vitamin preparations for animal feed.

(c) Limitations. Not to exceed 5 percent in the vitamin preparation. It shall be used in accordance with good manufacturing or feeding practices. It must be of purity suitable for intended use, and it must comply with the following specifications:

(i) Amorphous fumed hydrophobic silica: Not less than 99.0 percent silicon dioxide after ignition. Not more than 3 ppm arsenic. Not more than 0.003 percent heavy metals (as lead). Not more than 10 ppm lead. Not more than 2.5 percent loss on drying. Not more than 2 percent loss on ignition after drying. Not more than 1 percent insoluble substances. Not more than 50 parts per million dichlorodimethylsilane.

(ii) Precipated hydrophobic silica: Not less than 94.0 percent silicon dioxide after ignition. Not more than 3 ppm arsenic. Not more than 0.003 percent heavy metals (as lead). Not more than 10 ppm lead. Not more than 7 percent loss on drying. Not more than 8.5 percent loss on ignition after drying. Not more than 5 percent soluble ionizable salts (as sodium sulfate). Not more than 1 percent insoluble substances. Not more than 50 parts per million dichlorodimethylsilane.

§ 584.725 25-Hydroxyvitamin D 3 .

(a) Product. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D 3 (9,10-secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-triene-3β, 25-diol).

(b) Conditions of use. This substance is generally recognized as safe as a source of vitamin D 3 activity in feed or drinking water of broiler chickens when used in accordance with the limitations in paragraph (c) of this section.

(c) Limitations. (1) Not to exceed 69 parts per billion (ppb) in feed or 34.5 ppb in drinking water. It shall be used in accordance with good manufacturing and feeding practices.

(2) The product must comply with the following specifications:

(i) Not less than 94.0 percent 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 .

(ii) Not more than 1 percent of any individual sterol.

(iii) Not more than 5 percent water.

(iv) Not more than 20 parts per million (ppm) lead.

(v) Not more than 20 ppm aluminum.

(vi) Not more than 1.0 percent solvents and non-detectable levels of 2′. 4′. 5′. 7′-tetraiodofluorescin.

(3) Product labeling shall bear the following:

(i) A statement to indicate that the maximum use level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 must not exceed 69 ppb in feed or 34.5 ppb in drinking water.

(ii) Adequate use directions to ensure that 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 (and all premixes) is uniformly blended throughout the feed or drinking water.

(iii) An expiration date on all premix labeling.

(iv) A statement on all premix labeling (feed and drinking water forms) that 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 should not be used simultaneously in both feed and water.

Air Plan Approval; Colorado; RACT Requirements for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone Standard for the Denver Metro/North Front Range Nonattainment Area

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of Colorado State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittals under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that address SIP obligations related to Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the Denver-Boulder-Greeley-Ft. Collins-Loveland, Colorado ozone nonattainment area. The EPA is proposing approval of portions of the RACT SIP submittals that address reporting requirements for certain source categories and reorganize certain state air pollution regulations. The EPA is also proposing to find that the State has addressed the EPA's prior limited disapproval.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Arizona; Revisions to the Cleaner Burning Gasoline, Winter Oxygenated Fuel, and Gasoline Set-Aside Programs

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). This revision includes statutes and regulations amending the Cleaner Burning Gasoline (CBG) program, which is a control measure in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area to reduce emissions of ozone-forming pollutants, carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter. Additionally, this revision addresses the Winter Oxygenated Fuel program to control CO emissions in the Tucson area. Finally, this revision repeals the Arizona Gasoline Set[hyphen]aside (GSA) Program, applicable to the 1971 carbon monoxide nonattainment area covering Maricopa County and a portion of Pima County. The EPA is proposing to approve this SIP revision under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act"). This SIP revision is administrative in nature. This action proposes to update the existing SIP-approved CBG program with revisions that have been adopted and implemented by the State to clarify requirements, update references, and enhance flexibility of the program, and it will not impose any additional costs or regulatory burdens. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
