Notice of final aggregate
production quotas for 2010.
ACTION:
This notice establishes final
2010 aggregate production quotas for
controlled substances in schedules I and
II of the Controlled Substances Act
(CSA). DEA has taken into consideration
comments received in response to a
notice of the proposed revised aggregate
production quotas for 2010 published
June 23, 2010 (75 FR 35838).
DATES: Effective Date: September 14,
2010.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christine A. Sannerud, Ph.D., Chief,
Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section,
Drug Enforcement Administration, 8701
Morrissette Drive, Springfield, VA
22152, 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 28 CFR 0.100. The
Administrator, in turn, has redelegated
this function to the Deputy
Administrator, pursuant 28 CFR 0.104.
The 2010 aggregate production quotas
represent those quantities of controlled
substances in schedules I and II that
may be produced in the United States in
2010 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.
On June 23, 2010, a notice of the
proposed revised 2010 aggregate
production quotas for certain controlled
substances in schedules I and II was
published in the Federal Register (75
FR 35838). All interested persons were
invited to comment on or object to these
proposed aggregate production quotas
on or before July 23, 2010.
Fourteen companies, thirteen DEA
registered manufacturers and one nonregistrant, commented on a total of 28
schedules I and II controlled substances
within the published comment period.
Comments received proposed that the
aggregate production quotas for
alfentanil, amphetamine (for
conversion), amphetamine (for sale),
codeine (for conversion), codeine (for
sale), dextropropoxyphene,
dihydromorphine, diphenoxylate,
gamma hydroxybutyric acid,
hydrocodone, hydromorphone,
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
lisdexamfetamine, meperidine,
methadone, methylphenidate, morphine
(for conversion), morphine (for sale),
nabilone, opium (tincture), oxycodone
(for conversion), oxycodone (for sale),
oxymorphone (for sale), remifentanil,
sufentanil, tapentadol,
tetrahydrocannabinols, thebaine and
tilidine 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.
DEA has taken into consideration the
above comments along with the relevant
2009 year-end inventories, initial 2010
manufacturing quotas, 2010 export
requirements, actual and projected 2010
sales, research, product development
requirements and additional
applications received. Based on this
information, the DEA has adjusted the
final 2010 aggregate production quotas
for alfentanil, amphetamine (for
conversion), amphetamine (for sale),
carfentanil, dihydromorphine,
diphenoxylate, marihuana, morphine
(for sale), noroxymorphone (for sale),
opium (tincture), oxycodone (for
conversion), oxycodone (for sale),
oxymorphone (for conversion),
oxymorphone (for sale), tapentadol,
tetrahydrocannabinols, and tilidine.
4-anilino-N-phenethyl-4-piperidine
(ANPP) pursuant to DEA’s final rule
published in the Federal Register on
June 29, 2010 (75 FR 37295) will be
controlled as a schedule II controlled
substance on August 30, 2010. As such,
DEA has established an aggregate
production quota for ANPP to meet the
estimated medical, scientific, research,
and industrial needs of the United
States; lawful export requirements; and
the establishment and maintenance of
reserve stocks.
Regarding codeine (for conversion),
codeine (for sale), dextropropoxyphene,
gamma hydroxybutyric acid,
hydrocodone, hydromorphone,
lisdexamfetamine, meperidine,
methadone, methylphenidate, morphine
(for conversion), nabilone, remifentanil,
sufentanil, and thebaine, DEA has
determined that the proposed revised
2010 aggregate production quotas are
sufficient to meet the current 2010
estimated medical, scientific, research,
and industrial needs of the United
States and to provide for adequate
inventories.
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 0.100, and redelegated
to the Deputy Administrator, pursuant
to 28 CFR 0.104, the Deputy

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 $126,400,000 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.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
[Docket No. DEA-318F]
Controlled Substances: Final Revised Aggregate Production Quotas
for 2010
AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Justice.
ACTION: Notice of final aggregate production quotas for 2010.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice establishes final 2010 aggregate production quotas
for controlled substances in schedules I and II of the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA). DEA has taken into consideration comments
received in response to a notice of the proposed revised aggregate
production quotas for 2010 published June 23, 2010 (75 FR 35838).
DATES: Effective Date: September 14, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine A. Sannerud, Ph.D., Chief,
Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section, Drug Enforcement Administration,
8701 Morrissette Drive, Springfield, VA 22152, 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 28 CFR 0.100. The Administrator, in turn, has redelegated
this function to the Deputy Administrator, pursuant 28 CFR 0.104.
The 2010 aggregate production quotas represent those quantities of
controlled substances in schedules I and II that may be produced in the
United States in 2010 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.
On June 23, 2010, a notice of the proposed revised 2010 aggregate
production quotas for certain controlled substances in schedules I and
II was published in the Federal Register (75 FR 35838). All interested
persons were invited to comment on or object to these proposed
aggregate production quotas on or before July 23, 2010.
Fourteen companies, thirteen DEA registered manufacturers and one
non-registrant, commented on a total of 28 schedules I and II
controlled substances within the published comment period. Comments
received proposed that the aggregate production quotas for alfentanil,
amphetamine (for conversion), amphetamine (for sale), codeine (for
conversion), codeine (for sale), dextropropoxyphene, dihydromorphine,
diphenoxylate, gamma hydroxybutyric acid, hydrocodone, hydromorphone,
lisdexamfetamine, meperidine, methadone, methylphenidate, morphine (for
conversion), morphine (for sale), nabilone, opium (tincture), oxycodone
(for conversion), oxycodone (for sale), oxymorphone (for sale),
remifentanil, sufentanil, tapentadol, tetrahydrocannabinols, thebaine
and tilidine 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.
DEA has taken into consideration the above comments along with the
relevant 2009 year-end inventories, initial 2010 manufacturing quotas,
2010 export requirements, actual and projected 2010 sales, research,
product development requirements and additional applications received.
Based on this information, the DEA has adjusted the final 2010
aggregate production quotas for alfentanil, amphetamine (for
conversion), amphetamine (for sale), carfentanil, dihydromorphine,
diphenoxylate, marihuana, morphine (for sale), noroxymorphone (for
sale), opium (tincture), oxycodone (for conversion), oxycodone (for
sale), oxymorphone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for sale),
tapentadol, tetrahydrocannabinols, and tilidine.
4-anilino-N-phenethyl-4-piperidine (ANPP) pursuant to DEA's final
rule published in the Federal Register on June 29, 2010 (75 FR 37295)
will be controlled as a schedule II controlled substance on August 30,
2010. As such, DEA has established an aggregate production quota for
ANPP to meet the estimated medical, scientific, research, and
industrial needs of the United States; lawful export requirements; and
the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks.
Regarding codeine (for conversion), codeine (for sale),
dextropropoxyphene, gamma hydroxybutyric acid, hydrocodone,
hydromorphone, lisdexamfetamine, meperidine, methadone,
methylphenidate, morphine (for conversion), nabilone, remifentanil,
sufentanil, and thebaine, DEA has determined that the proposed revised
2010 aggregate production quotas are sufficient to meet the current
2010 estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of
the United States and to provide for adequate inventories.
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 0.100, and redelegated to the Deputy
Administrator, pursuant to 28 CFR 0.104, the Deputy
[[Page 55829]]

The Deputy Administrator further orders that the aggregate
production quotas for all other schedule I and II controlled substances
included in 21 CFR 1308.11 and 1308.12 shall be zero.
The Office of Management and Budget has determined that notices of
aggregate production quotas are not subject to
[[Page 55831]]
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
$126,400,000 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 foreign-based companies in domestic and export markets.
Dated: September 2, 2010.
Michele M. Leonhart,
Deputy Administrator.
