ACTION: Notice of aggregate production quotas for 2005. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice establishes initial 2005 aggregate production quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and II of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). DATES: Effective Date: January 3, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine A. Sannerud, Ph.D., Chief, Drug & Chemical Evaluation Section, Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC 20537, Telephone: (202) 307–7183. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 306 of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 826) requires that the Attorney General establish aggregate production quotas for each basic class of controlled substance listed in Schedules I and II. This responsibility has been delegated to the Administrator of the DEA by Section 0.100 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Administrator, in turn, has redelegated this function to the Deputy Administrator, pursuant to PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Section 0.104 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The 2005 aggregate production quotas represent those quantities of controlled substances that may be produced in the United States in 2005 to provide adequate supplies of each substance for: the estimated medical, scientific, research and industrial needs of the United States; lawful export requirements; and the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks (21 U.S.C. 826(a) and 21 CFR 1303.11). These quotas do not include imports of controlled substances for use in industrial processes. On December 3, 2004, a notice of the proposed initial 2005 aggregate production quotas for certain controlled substances in Schedules I and II was published in the Federal Register (69 FR 70284). All interested persons were invited to comment on or object to these proposed aggregate production quotas on or before December 27, 2004. Nine responses were received resulting in comments on a total of fourteen Schedules I and II controlled substances within the published comment period. The responses commented that the proposed aggregate production quotas for alfentanil, amphetamine, codeine, fentanyl, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), hydromorphone, levorphanol, methadone, methadone intermediate, methamphetamine (for conversion), methylphenidate, oxymorphone and tetrahydrocannabinols were insufficient to provide for the estimated medical, scientific, research and industrial needs of the United States, for export requirements and for the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks. One comment stated that the proposed aggregate production quota for 2,5dimethoxyamphetamine was too high. DEA has taken into consideration the above comments along with the relevant 2004 manufacturing quotas, current 2004 sales and inventories, 2005 export requirements, and research and product development requirements. Based on this information, the DEA has adjusted the initial aggregate production quotas for hydromorphone, lysergic acid diethylamide, marihuana, methamphetamine (for conversion), and tetrahydrocannabinols to meet the legitimate needs of the United States. Regarding 2,5dimehthoxyamphetamine, alfentanil, amphetamine, codeine, fentanyl, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), levorphanol, methadone, methadone intermediate, methylphenidate and oxymorphone, the DEA has determined that the proposed initial 2005 aggregate production quotas are sufficient to meet E:\FR\FM\03JAN1.SGM 03JAN1
