level of selenium allowed to be used as a supplement in animal diets 
unless the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration makes a

    protect animal health;
        (2) selenium at such levels is not safe to the animals consuming 
    the additive;
        (3) selenium at such levels is not safe to individuals consuming 
    edible portions of animals that receive the additive;
        (4) selenium at such levels does not achieve its intended effect 
    of promoting normal growth and reproduction of livestock and 
    poultry; and
        (5) the manufacture and use of selenium at such levels cannot 
    reasonably be controlled by adherence to current good manufacturing 
    practice requirements.

(b) Final rule described

final rule issued by the Food and Drug Administration and published in 
the Federal Register on September 13, 1993 (58 Fed. Reg. 47962), in
