CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          SERVICES--(Continued)
 
PART 589--SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED FROM USE IN ANIMAL FOOD OR FEED--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 589.1  Substances prohibited from use in animal food or feed.


    (a) The substances listed in this part have been prohibited from use 
in animal food or feed by the Food and Drug Administration because of a 
determination that they present a potential risk to the public health or 
have not been shown by adequate scientific data to be safe for use in 
such food or feed. Use of any of these substances in violation of this 
part causes the animal food or feed involved to be adulterated and in 
violation of the Act.
    (b) This part includes only a partial list of substances prohibited 
from use in animal food or feed; it is for easy reference purposes and 
is not a complete list of substances that may not lawfully be used in 
such animal food or feed. No substance may be used in animal food or 
feed unless it meets all applicable requirements of the Act.
    (c) The Food and Drug Administration either on its own initiative or 
on behalf of any interested person who has submitted a petition, may 
publish a proposal to establish, amend, or repeal a regulation under 
this part on the basis of new scientific evaluation or information. Any 
such petition shall include an adequate scientific basis to support the 
petition, shall be the form set forth in Sec. 571.1 of this chapter, and 
will be published in the Federal Register for comment if it contains 
reasonable ground.
