Introduction
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) requires each Federal agency to assess,
as an integral part of its decision-making process, the environmental impacts of its actions and to
ensure that the interested and affected public is informed of environmental analyses. FDA's
regulations in part 25 (21 CFR part 25) set forth procedures to supplement the regulations of the
Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) under 40 CFR parts 1500-1508. The agency amended
part 25 on July 29, 1997 (62 FR 40570) (hereinafter "the 1997 final rule") to increase the
efficiency of FDA's implementation of NEPA and to reduce the number of NEPA evaluations by
providing for categorical exclusions for additional classes of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and for which, therefore,
neither an environmental assessment (EA) nor an environmental impact statement (EIS) is
required. Section 25.20 specifies the types of actions that ordinarily require at least the
preparation of an environmental assessment. Such actions include approval of food additive
petitions and color additive petitions, granting of requests for exemption from regulation as a
food additive under § 170.39 (21 CFR 170.39), allowing notifications for food contact
substances submitted under section 409 (h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
Act) (21 U.S.C. 348(h)) to become effective, affirmation of a food substance as Generally
Recognized as Safe (GRAS), and establishment by regulation of food labeling requirements,
unless the action qualifies for a categorical exclusion under § 25.30 or § 25.32. Interested parties
may request agency actions by submitting to the agency any of the petitions, requests for
exemption, or notifications listed here. These requests for action will be collectively referred to
in this document as "submissions" and the parties making the submissions as the "submitters."
This guidance is intended to assist submitters by offering suggestions for information that may
be included in categorical exclusion and EA submissions. The guidance refers to some of the
requirements in part 25 in addition to suggesting types of information that would be helpful to
the agency's review of submissions. The following topics are included: (1) What types of
industry-initiated actions are subject to a claim of categorical exclusion; (2) What must a claim
of categorical exclusion include by regulation; (3) What is an EA; (4) When is an EA required by
regulation and what format should be used; (5) What are extraordinary circumstances; and (6)
What suggestions does HFP have for preparing an EA? If a proposed action is not covered in this
document, a submitter may contact HFP for guidance on how to assess the potential
environmental effects.
Under § 25.15(a), all submissions requesting agency action must be accompanied by either a
claim of categorical exclusion or an adequate EA. An adequate EA is one that addresses the
relevant environmental issues and contains sufficient information to enable the agency to
determine whether the proposed action may significantly affect the quality of the human
environment. For actions that may significantly affect the quality of the human environment, the
agency must prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) in accordance with § 25.22.
FDA's guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally enforceable
responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency's current thinking on a topic and should
be viewed only as recommendations, unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are
cited. The use of the word should in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or
recommended but not required.

II.
Categorically Excluded Actions
A category of actions that has been found not to individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment is subject to a categorical exclusion and, therefore, ordinarily
does not require the preparation of an EA or an EIS. However, as required under 21 CFR 25.21
and 40 CFR 1508.4, FDA will require at least an EA for any specific action that ordinarily would
be excluded if extraordinary circumstances indicate that the specific proposed action may
significantly affect the quality of the human environment. See Section III. for additional
information regarding extraordinary circumstances. The categorical exclusions that apply to HFP
actions are listed in §§ 25.30 and 25.32.
A. What types of industry-initiated actions are subject to a claim of
categorical exclusion?
The following claims of categorical exclusions in §§ 25.30 and 25.32 apply to industry requests
for HFP actions including approval of food additive petitions and color additive petitions,
requests for exemption, allowing a food contact substance (FCS) notification to become
effective, affirmation of GRAS status, and petitions for certain food labeling regulations:
1. Corrections and technical changes in regulations (§ 25.30(i));
2. Establishment or repeal by regulation of labeling requirements for marketed articles if
there will be no increase in the existing levels of use or change in the intended uses of the
product or its substitutes (§ 25.30(k));
3. Issuance, amendment, or repeal of a food standard (§ 25.32(a));
4. Approval of a color additive petition to change a provisionally listed color additive to
permanent listing for use in food, drugs, devices, or cosmetics (§ 25.32(c));
5. Affirmation of a food substance as GRAS for humans or animals on FDA's initiative or in
response to a petition under 21 CFR parts 182, 184, 186, or 582, and establishment or
amendment of a regulation for a prior-sanctioned food ingredient, as defined in 21 CFR
170.3(1) and 181.5(a), if the substance or food ingredient is marketed already in the
United States for the proposed use (§ 25.32(f));
6. Approval of a food additive petition, GRAS affirmation petition, the granting of a request
for exemption, or allowing a notification to become effective, when the substance is
present in finished food-packaging material at not greater than 5 percent-by-weight and is
expected to remain with finished food-packaging material through use by consumers or
when the substance is a component of a coating of a finished food-packaging material (§
25.32(i));
7. Approval of a food additive petition, GRAS affirmation petition, the granting of a request
for exemption, or allowing a notification to become effective, when the substance is to be
used as a component of a food-contact surface of permanent or semi-permanent
equipment or of another food-contact article intended for repeated use (§ 25.32(j));
8. Approval of a food additive, color additive, or GRAS affirmation petition, or allowing a
notification to become effective, for substances added directly to food that are intended to
remain in food through ingestion by consumers and that are not intended to replace
macronutrients in food (§ 25.32(k));
9. Approval of a petition for color additives used in contact lenses, sutures, filaments used
as supporting haptics in intraocular lenses, bone cement, and in other FDA-regulated
products having similarly low levels of use (§ 25.32(1));
10. Approval of a food additive petition for the intended expression product(s) present in
food derived from new plant varieties (§ 25.32(0));
11. Approval of a food additive petition, the granting of a request for exemption, or allowing
a notification to become effective, for a substance registered by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA) for the same use requested in the petition (§ 25.32(q));
12. Approval of a food additive, color additive, or GRAS affirmation petition, or allowing a
notification to become effective, for a substance that occurs naturally in the environment,
when the action does not alter significantly the concentration or distribution of the
substance, its metabolites, or degradation products in the environment (§ 25.32(r)). (1)
13. Issuance, amendment, or revocation of a regulation in response to a reference amount
citizen petition as described in 21 CFR 101.12(h), a nutrient content claim petition as
described in 21 CFR 101.69, or a health claim petition as described in 21 CFR 101.70 (§
25.32(p)). (2)
A submitter need only submit a claim for one categorical exclusion, even though more than one
exclusion may apply for a particular action.
B. What must a claim of categorical exclusion include by regulation?
If a submitter elects to request a categorical exclusion for a proposed action, a claim of
categorical exclusion must be submitted, as required by § 25.15. Section 25.15 requires that the
claim of categorical exclusion (1 ) cite the section of the CFR under which the categorical
exclusion is claimed, (2) include a statement of compliance with the categorical exclusion
criteria, and (3) include a statement that, to the submitter's knowledge, no extraordinary
circumstances exist that require submission of an EA.
The FDA has formulated its categorical exclusions to include specific criteria so that in most
instances a categorical exclusion can either be easily determined or confirmed by review of other
information submitted as part of the request for action. This approach is consistent with CEOs
view in that the information submitted in a request for categorical exclusion is usually sufficient.
In the limited instances when it may be necessary, HFP may request additional information to
establish to the agency's satisfaction that the criteria for a categorical exclusion have been met,
particularly for exclusions claimed under § 25.32(i), § 25.32(0), and § 25.32(q). Such
information may assist HFP in determining whether an exclusion applies, as discussed below.
Submissions for substances that are present in finished food-packaging material at not greater
than 5 percent-by-weight and are expected to remain with finished food-packaging material
through use by consumers are excluded under § 25.32(i). When claiming this categorical
exclusion, the agency anticipates that simply stating that the claim applies would be sufficient for
substances that remain with, and function in, finished food-packaging materials. For substances
that have no function in finished food-packaging materials, i.e., processing aids, but that do
become incorporated into packaging and remain with the finished packaging through use by
consumers, FDA recommends that you provide an estimate of the percentage of the amount of
the substance used that is incorporated into packaging. (3) The exclusion may apply when 1) the
processing aid is present in finished food packaging at no greater than 5 percent-by-weight; 2)
the processing aid is expected to remain with finished food-packaging material through use by
consumers; and 3) the percentage of the processing aid that is incorporated into the finished
food-packaging material is high, e.g., > 95%.
The exclusion under § 25.32(0) applies to an action to approve a food additive petition for the
intended expression product(s) present in food derived from new plant varieties. As discussed in
the preamble to the proposed rule to amend part 25 (61 FR 19476 at 19483, May 1, 1996), the
FDA established this exclusion based on the determination that the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), under the authority of the Federal Plant Pest Act, addresses the potential of
new plant varieties to pose a plant pest risk in accordance with NEPA. FDA recommends that
you provide in the claim of categorical exclusion for actions in this class the status of USDA's
review under the Federal Plant Pest Act. If the USDA has made a determination of nonregulated
status for an organism that has been subject to USDA oversight because it was considered to
present a potential risk of being a plant pest, the claim of categorical exclusion should cite the
Federal Register notice for that determination.
The exclusion under § 25.32(q) applies to an action that involves a substance registered by the
EPA under FIFRA for the same use requested in the submission to FDA. The preamble to the
1997 final rule provides guidance for applying this exclusion (62 FR 40570 at 40582-83). The
phrase "same use" means that, when comparing the food additive use to the pesticide use, the
purpose of the use, any components used with the substance for the requested use, and the
amount of the substance and the amounts of any components used with it are substantially
identical. For this class of actions, the agency recommends that submitters include in any claim
of categorical exclusion 1) a copy of the current FIFRA registration label for the substance that
has the same use requested in the submission, and 2) a copy of the proposed FIFRA registration
label that includes the FDA-regulated non-pesticide use of the substance for which the sponsor
intends to request an amendment from EPA after FDA approval.
Submitters are encouraged to contact HFP for questions about whether a categorical exclusion
may apply to a particular action.

III.
Preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA)
A. What is an EA?
As defined by CEQ in 40 CFR 1508.9, an EA is a concise public document that serves to provide
sufficient evidence and analysis for determining whether to prepare an EIS or a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI). The EA must include brief discussions of the need for the proposed
action, the alternatives as required by section 102(2)(E) of NEPA, the environmental impacts of
the proposed action and its alternatives, and a list of agencies and persons consulted (40 CFR
1508.9 and 21 CFR 25.40). The EA must focus on environmental issues relating to the use and
disposal from use of FDA-regulated substances and be a concise, objective, and well-balanced
document that allows the public to understand the basis for the agency's decision to prepare an
EIS (§§ 25.22 and 25.42) or a FONSI (§ 25.41 If potentially adverse environmental impacts are
identified for an action or group of related actions, the EA must discuss any reasonable
alternative courses of action that offer less environmental risk or that are environmentally
preferable to the proposed action (§ 25.40(a)).
Before FDA amended part 25, the regulations provided standard EA formats for various classes
of actions. After consulting CEQ, FDA decided that sample formats for preparing EAS should be
provided in guidance documents rather than in the amended rule. Because guidance documents,
which do not bind the agency or the public, are more easily revised, their use will give FDA
greater flexibility to tailor environmental documents to reflect state-of-the-art developments in
environmental analysis and will assist submitters in focusing on important environmental issues.
Actions requiring an EA are specified in Section B below, and the recommended formats for
these actions are provided in Appendices A-D of this document.
B. When is an EA required by regulation and what format should be used?
Suggested EA formats are provided for the following substances that are the subject of a
submission to the agency and that are not otherwise subject to a categorical exclusion in § 25.30
or § 25.32:
1. Substances added directly to food that are intended to remain in food through ingestion by
consumers, that are intended to replace macronutrients in food, and that do not qualify for
exclusion under § 25.32(r) (see EA format in Appendix A). (4)
2. Secondary direct food additives and food contact substances used in the production of food
that are not intended to remain with food and that do not qualify for exclusion under § 25.32(j),
(q), or (r) (see EA format in _ Appendix B). (5)
3. Processing aids used in producing food-packaging materials that are not intended to remain as
components of finished food-packaging material and that do not qualify for categorical exclusion
under § 25.32(i), (q), or (r) (see EA format in Appendix C). (6)
4. Components of finished food-packaging material present at greater than 5 percent-by-weight
except for components of a coating of a finished food-packaging material (see EA format in
Appendix D). (L) (Appendix D is still under development and will be issued at a later date. In the
interim, we recommend that you contact the Office of Food Additive Safety for assistance in
submitting the necessary information.)
C. What are extraordinary circumstances?
In accordance with 40 CFR 1508.4 and 21 CFR 25.21, FDA will require at least an EA for any
normally excluded action if extraordinary circumstances indicate that the proposed action may
have a significant environmental effect. An extraordinary circumstance may be shown by data
available to either the agency or industry sponsor and may be based on production, use, or
disposal from use of a substance. Data available to the agency include public information,
information in the submission, and information the agency has received in other submissions for
the same or similar substances.
(Return to Section Il)
The CEQ has defined "significantly" to aid in determining if an action may affect significantly
the quality of the human environment. This definition should be considered when evaluating
whether extraordinary circumstances exist that may warrant the submission of at least an EA (see
Appendix E). Examples of extraordinary circumstances that may apply to HFP actions include,
but are not limited to, the following:
1. Actions for which existing data establish that, at the expected level of exposure, there is
the potential for serious harm to the environment (§ 25.21 (a));
2. Actions that adversely affect a species or the critical habitat of a species determined
under the Endangered Species Act or the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora to be endangered or threatened, or wild
fauna or flora that are entitled to special protection under some other Federal law (§ 25.21
(b));
3. Actions that threaten a violation of Federal, State, or local law or requirements imposed
for the protection of the environment (40 CFR 1508.27(b)(10));
4. Unique emission circumstances that are not addressed adequately by general or specific
emission requirements (including occupational) promulgated by Federal, State or local
environmental agencies and the emissions may harm the environment;
5. Actions that may have significant effects on solid waste management, e.g., source
reduction, recycling, composting, incineration, and landfilling; and
6. Actions involving substances derived from a plant or animal that could affect the
sustainability of the source organism or the surrounding ecosystem, e.g., potentially
significant effects on resources resulting from changes in agricultural practices for a
cultivated crop, such as changes in water, energy, agrochemical or land use; or significant
effects resulting from the harvesting of wild specimens.
If FDA determines that extraordinary circumstances apply to a proposed action that would
otherwise be subject to a categorical exclusion, the agency will provide the submitter with
guidance on what information that the agency recommends be included in an EA.
D. What suggestions does HFP have for preparing an EA?
1. Consult HFP early in the process to determine the EA format best suited for your
proposed action and to discuss the nature and extent of information that may be
necessary. It is particularly important to consult HFP before conducting any
environmental tests to determine if testing should be considered and, if so, what tests to
consider. In many cases, existing information can be used to establish the environmental
record to support the proposed action.
2. When environmental tests are done, the use of test-sequencing procedures, called tiered
testing, is recommended (§ 25.40(a)). FDA recommends the use of the environmental fate
and effects test protocols in the FDA's Environmental Assessment Technical Handbook
(8) or protocols based on scientifically validated methods issued by other organizations,
e.g., EPA (9) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD). (10)
3. You should not leave any items blank. FDA recommends that, for any particular item you
think is not applicable, you provide a statement to that effect and explain why it is not
applicable.
4. FDA recommends that you provide a level of analysis commensurate with the potential
for environmental impact. For example, if the use and disposal of a substance are
expected to result in very limited environmental exposures, you may elect to include less
information on the environmental fate and effects of the substance.
5. You should make sure that the action described in the EA is consistent with the action
requested in other sections of the submission, and that it includes the range of uses
permitted by the proposed action.
6. You should support the claims and conclusions in your EA by providing relevant data
from sources such as the scientific literature, databases, or company files. (11) You
should not make claims that are not supported, or that virtually are impossible to support.
In accordance with 40 CFR 1500.4 and 1502.21, relevant publicly available documents
should be incorporated by reference into the EA. The incorporated materials should be
cited in the EA and briefly described. Material that is not reasonably available for
inspection by potentially interested persons within the time allowed for comment may not
be incorporated by reference (40 CFR 1502.21).
7. If the analysis indicates uncertainty as to whether the agency's action will have
environmental effects or whether potential environmental effects could be significant,
FDA recommends that you state this and identify the uncertainties. You are encouraged to
contact HFP for additional guidance about how to proceed in the event that such
uncertainties exist.
When preparing an EA, consider that the EA must be a concise, objective, and well-balanced
document that will enable the agency to decide whether a FONSI or an EIS is necessary and that
will permit the public to understand the basis for the agency's decision. Finally, note that the
FDA is responsible for the scope and content of an EA (40 CFR 1506.5 and 21 CFR 25.40(b)).
Therefore, FDA will review carefully an EA and will request that it be revised or supplemented if
it is not adequate. An adequate EA is one that contains sufficient information to enable the
agency to determine whether the proposed action may affect significantly the quality of the
human environment (§ 25.15(a)).

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This guidance contains information collection provisions that are subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520).
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB
control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0910-0322.
The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average one hour per
response. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspects of this collection
of information, including suggestions for reducing burden to PRABranch@fda.hhs.gov.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number
for this information collection is 0910-0322.)
Notes
(1) Substances that occur naturally in the environment are obtained from a natural resource or
biological system and exist in the environment in the same form as substances found naturally in
the environment. Synthetic substances also may be considered naturally occurring if they are
identical to substances found naturally in the environment.
(2) Section 25.32(p) refers to a petition pertaining to the label declaration of ingredients as
described in § 101.103 (21 CFR 101.103). However, FDA revoked § 101.103 on June 3, 1996
(61 FR 27779) because it duplicated the procedures in 21 CFR 10.30 for citizen petitions. The
agency intends to correct § 25.32(p) by removing the reference to § 101.103.
(3) For example, assume that 100,000 kilograms (kg) of the substance is the maximum yearly
market volume for the proposed use. If 2,000 kg of the substance enters the waste stream at the
food-packaging production site, and if 98,000 kg will become a component of the finished foodpackaging material, then the percentage of the amount of the substance used that is incorporated
into packaging will be 98%.
(4) Certain actions in this class may qualify for exclusion under § 25.32(r) because they involve
substances that occur naturally in the environment and do not alter significantly the
concentration or distribution of the substance, its metabolites, or degradation products in the
environment.
(5) Actions on certain substances used in the production of food may qualify for exclusion under
§ 25.32(j), (q), or (r) because they are used as components of the food-contact surface of
permanent or semi-permanent equipment or of another food-contact article intended for repeated
use, are registered by the EPA under FIFRA for the same use requested in the submission, or are
substances that occur naturally in the environment, and the action does not alter significantly the
concentration or distribution of the substance, its metabolites, or degradation products in the
environment.
(6) Actions on certain processing aids used in the production of food-packaging materials may
qualify for exclusion under § 25.32 (i), (q), or (r) because the substances are present in finished
food packaging at no greater than 5 percent-by-weight and remain with finished food-packaging
material through use by consumers, are registered by the EPA under FIFRA for the same use
requested in the submission, or are substances that occur naturally in the environment and the
action does not alter significantly the concentration or distribution of the substance, its
metabolites, or degradation products in the environment.
(7) Action on components of coatings of finished food-packaging material may qualify for
categorical exclusion under § 25.32 (i). (Return to text)
