SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

Section 306 of the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826) by
adding ephedrine, pseudoephedrine,
and phenylpropanolamine to existing
language to read as follows: ‘‘The
Attorney General shall determine the
total quantity and establish production
quotas for each basic class of controlled
substance in schedules I and II and for
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine to be
manufactured each calendar year to
provide for the estimated medical,
scientific, research, and industrial needs
of the U.S., for lawful export
requirements, and for the establishment
and maintenance of reserve stocks.’’
Further, section 715 of CMEA amended
21 U.S.C. 952 ‘‘Importation of controlled
substances’’ by adding the same List I
chemicals to the existing language in
paragraph (a), and by adding a new
paragraph (d) to read as follows:
(a) Controlled substances in schedule I or
II and narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, or
V; exceptions:
It shall be unlawful to import into the
customs territory of the U.S. from any place
outside thereof (but within the U.S.), or to
import into the U.S. from any place outside
thereof, any controlled substance in schedule
I or II of subchapter I of this chapter, or any
narcotic drug in schedule III, IV, or V of
subchapter I of this chapter, or ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine, except that—
(1) such amounts of crude opium, poppy

import, and the Attorney General may
approve the application if the Attorney
General determines that the approval is
necessary to provide for medical, scientific,
or other legitimate purposes regarding the
chemical.
Editor’s Note: This excerpt of the
amendment is published for the convenience
of the reader. The official text is published
at 21 U.S.C. 952(a) and (d)(1).
Background and Legal Authority
Section 713 of the CMEA (Title VII of
Pub. L. 109–177) amended section 306
of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 826) to require
that the Attorney General establish
quotas to provide for the annual needs
for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine. Section 715 of
the CMEA amended 21 U.S.C. 952 by
adding ephedrine, pseudoephedrine,
and phenylpropanolamine to the
existing language concerning
importation of controlled substances.
The 2009 Assessment of Annual
Needs represents those quantities of
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine which may be
manufactured domestically and/or
imported into the U.S. in 2009 to
provide adequate supplies of each
chemical for: the estimated medical,
scientific, research, and industrial needs
of the U.S.; lawful export requirements;
and the establishment and maintenance
of reserve stocks.
The responsibility for establishing the
assessment has been delegated to the
Administrator of the DEA by 28 CFR
0.100. The Administrator, in turn, has
redelegated this function to the Deputy
Administrator, pursuant to 28 CFR
0.104.
On September 19, 2008, a notice
entitled, ‘‘Assessment of Annual Needs
for the List I Chemicals Ephedrine,
Pseudoephedrine, and
Phenylpropanolamine for 2009:
Proposed’’ was published in the Federal
Register (73 FR 54431). That notice
proposed the initial 2009 Assessment of
Annual Needs for ephedrine (for sale),
ephedrine (for conversion),
pseudoephedrine (for sale),
phenylpropanolamine (for sale) and
phenylpropanolamine (for conversion).
All interested persons were invited to
comment on or object to the proposed
assessments on or before October 20,
2008.
DEA received a total of two
comments, one of which was from a law
firm representing an industry group
comprised of distributors and retailers
of over-the-counter (OTC) medications.
In that comment, the law firm requested
that DEA ‘‘indicate what data it
reviewed and relied on to estimate
trends and projected demands’’ of
