        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule relates to the process for informing FDA of a determination that the use of a substance in human food or in animal feed is not subject to the food additive premarket approval requirements because such use is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). FDA has proposed to replace the voluntary GRAS affirmation petition process, under which FDA issues a regulation affirming the use of a substance as GRAS, with a voluntary process to notify FDA of a determination that a particular use of a substance is GRAS. FDA also proposed to clarify when use of a substance is GRAS.]]></ABSTRACT>
