Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 9, 2005 / Notices
The Deputy Administrator further
orders that aggregate production quotas
for all other Schedules I and II
controlled substances included in
§§ 1308.11 and 1308.12 of Title 21 of the
Code of Federal Regulations remain at
zero.
The Office of Management and Budget
has determined that notices of aggregate
production quotas are not subject to
centralized review under Executive
Order 12866.
This action does not preempt or
modify any provision of state law; nor
does it impose enforcement
responsibilities on any state; nor does it
diminish the power of any state to
enforce its own laws. Accordingly, this
action does not have federalism
implications warranting the application
of Executive Order 13132.
The Deputy Administrator hereby
certifies that this action will have no
significant impact upon small entities
whose interests must be considered
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq. The establishment of
aggregate production quotas for
Schedules I and II controlled substances
is mandated by law and by international
treaty obligations. The quotas are
necessary to provide for the estimated
medical, scientific, research and
industrial needs of the United States, for
export requirements and the
establishment and maintenance of
reserve stocks. While aggregate
production quotas are of primary
importance to large manufacturers, their
impact upon small entities is neither
negative nor beneficial. Accordingly, the
Deputy Administrator has determined
that this action does not require a
regulatory flexibility analysis.
This action meets the applicable
standards set forth in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 Civil
Justice Reform.
This action will not result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $117,000,000 or more
in any one year, and will not
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. Therefore, no actions were
deemed necessary under the provisions
of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995.
This action is not a major rule as
defined by section 804 of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996. This action will
not result in an annual effect on the
economy of $100,000,000 or more; a
major increase in costs or prices; or
significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the
ability of United States-based

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and
export markets.
Dated: November 3, 2005.
