\1\ The Agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is categorically excluded (CE) from the requirement to submit an EA or an
environmental impact statement (EIS) because it is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment.
\2\ Based on its review of an EA submitted by the sponsor, the Agency has concluded that this action will not have a significant impact on the human
environment and that an EIS is not required. A FONSI has been prepared.
This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.'' Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.
