Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration, 32960-32961 [E9-16295]

Download as PDF 32960 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 130 / Thursday, July 9, 2009 / Notices rmajette on DSK29S0YB1 with NOTICES manufacture of methamphetamine is as follows: (2008 APQ methamphetamine/39 percent yield) + reserve stock ¥ inventory = ephedrine (for manufacture of methamphetamine) (3,130/39 percent yield) + 50 percent * (3,130/39 percent yield) ¥ 35 = 12,003 kg The calculation for the ephedrine (for conversion) requirement for the manufacture of pseudoephedrine leads to a result of 106,424 kg. DEA cannot provide the details of the calculation because this would reveal the conversion yield for the synthesis of pseudoephedrine, which is proprietary to the one manufacturer involved in this type of manufacturing. Therefore, the assessment for ephedrine was determined by the sum total of the ephedrine (for conversion) requirements as described by the following methodology: methamphetamine requirement + pseudoephedrine requirement = AAN 12,003 + 106,424 = 118,427 kg ephedrine (for conversion) for 2009 This calculation suggests that based on applications received as of April 1, 2009, DEA’s Assessment of Annual Needs for ephedrine (for conversion) should be established as 120,000 kg rather than the 110,000 kg established on an interim basis in the December 29, 2008, notice. Under this rulemaking, DEA is establishing the Assessment of Annual Needs for ephedrine (for conversion) as 120,000 kg. Conclusion DEA has carefully considered the comments received in connection with the 2009 Assessment of Annual Needs. Based on information provided in the comments, along with information provided by DEA-registered manufacturers and importers of these List I chemicals on applications for individual import, manufacturing, and procurement quotas pursuant to DEA regulations, DEA has fully addressed the relevant issues set forth in the comments. Therefore, under the authority vested in the Attorney General by Section 306 of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 826), and delegated to the Administrator of the DEA by 28 CFR Section 0.100, and redelegated to the Deputy Administrator pursuant to 28 CFR Section 0.104, the Deputy Administrator hereby orders that the 2009 Assessment of Annual Needs for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, expressed in kilograms of anhydrous acid or base, be established as follows: VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:49 Jul 08, 2009 Jkt 217001 Established 2009 Assessment of Annual Needs List I chemical Ephedrine (for sale) .............. Ephedrine (for conversion) ... Pseudoephedrine (for sale) .. Phenylpropanolamine (for sale) ..................................

E9–16152 Filed 7–8–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410–09–P 62,000 The Office of Management and Budget has determined that notices of 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 any federalism implications warranting the application of Executive Order 13132. The Deputy Administrator hereby certifies that this action will not have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number of small entities whose interests must be considered under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612. The establishment of Assessment of Annual Needs for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine is mandated by law. The assessments are necessary to provide for the estimated medical, scientific, research and industrial needs of the United States; for lawful export requirements; and the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks. 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 $120,000,000 or more (adjusted for inflation) 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 (Congressional Review Act). 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 PO 00000 companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and export markets.
