Finding of No Significant Impact

A food contact notification (FCN No. 936), submitted by ExxonMobil Chemical Company, to provide for the safe use of 1 propene, polymer with ethene, containing up to 18 weight percent polymeric units derived from ethylene as articles or as a component of articles that may contact food.

The Environmental Review Team has determined that allowing this notification to become effective will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and, therefore, will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. This finding is based on information, including an environmental assessment, dated September 9, 2009, in the notification submitted by the notifier and other information known to the agency.
