Ammar Sabbagh; Denial of Application
On June 12, 2006, the Deputy
Assistant Administrator, Office of
Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement
Administration, issued an Order to
Show Cause to Ammar Sabbagh
(Respondent), of Sheridan, Oregon. The
Show Cause Order proposed the denial
of Respondent’s pending application for
a DEA Certificate of Registration as a
distributor of the list I chemicals
ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, on the
ground that his ‘‘registration would be
inconsistent with the public interest.’’
Show Cause Order at 1 (quoting 21
U.S.C. 823(h)).
More specifically, the Show Cause
Order alleged that on November 4, 2005,
Respondent pled guilty to conspiring to
distribute pseudoephedrine, in violation
of 21 U.S.C. 841(c)(2)–(3), and 846. Id.
at 2. The Show Cause Order thus alleged
that Respondent’s proposed sales of list
I chemical products would be
inconsistent with the public interest. Id.
The Show Cause Order further informed
Respondent of his right to request a
hearing on the allegations. Id.
On June 19, 2006, the Show Cause
Order was served on Respondent by
certified mail addressed to him at his
new residence at the Federal
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Correctional Institution in Sheridan,
Oregon. Since that time, neither
Respondent, nor anyone purporting to
represent him, has responded. Because
(1) more than thirty days have passed
since service of the Show Cause Order,
and (2) Respondent did not timely
request a hearing, I conclude that
Respondent has waived his right to a
hearing. See 21 CFR 1301.43(d). I
therefore enter this Final Order without
a hearing based on relevant material
contained in the investigative file and
make the following findings.
Findings
On December 10, 1999, Respondent
applied for a DEA Certificate of
Registration to distribute the list I
chemicals ephedrine and
pseudoephedrine. See 21 U.S.C.
802(34). While both chemicals have
therapeutic uses, they are easily
extracted from non-prescription drug
products and used in the illicit
manufacture of methamphetamine, a
schedule II controlled substance. See 21
CFR 1308.12(d).
Methamphetamine is a powerful and
addictive central nervous system
stimulant. See Gregg Brothers Wholesale
Co., Inc., 71 FR 59830 (2006). As noted
in numerous agency orders, the illegal
manufacture and abuse of
methamphetamine pose a grave threat to
this country. Methamphetamine abuse
has destroyed numerous lives and
families and ravaged communities.
Moreover, because of the toxic nature of
the chemicals used to make
methamphetamine, its manufacture
causes serious environmental harms.
See, e.g., Id.
During the course of investigating
Respondent’s application, DEA became
aware that he was selling large
quantities of pseudoephedrine to an
individual he knew was using
methamphetamine. Thereafter,
Respondent also began supplying
pseudoephedrine to several
methamphetamine traffickers.
Respondent also met with a confidential
source and agreed to supply him with
twenty to twenty-five cases a month of
pseudoephedrine.
On March 2, 2005, a federal grand
jury returned an indictment which
charged Respondent with conspiring to
distribute pseudoephedrine, having
knowledge and reasonable cause to
believe that it would be used to
manufacture methamphetamine. First
Superseding Indictment, United States
v. Sabbagh, et. al., No. CR04–398L,
(W.D.Wash.) (citing 21 U.S.C. 841(c) &
(e); Id. 846). On March 10, 2005,
Respondent pled guilty to the charge,
and on November 4, 2005, the United
