[Docket No. DEA 350F]
Final Adjusted Assessment of Annual
Needs for the List I Chemicals:
Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and
Phenylpropanolamine for 2011
Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), Department of
Justice.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice establishes the
Final Adjusted 2011 assessment of
annual needs for the List I chemicals
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine.
DATES: Effective Date: December 9, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
W. Partridge, Chief, Liaison and Policy
Section, Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), Springfield,
Virginia 22152, Telephone: (202) 307–
4564.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2011
assessment of annual needs represents
those quantities of ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine which may be
manufactured domestically and
imported into the United States in 2011
to provide adequate supplies of each
chemical for the estimated medical,
scientific, research, and industrial needs
of the United States, lawful export

requirements, and the establishment
and maintenance of reserve stocks of
such chemicals. Section 306 of the
Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21
U.S.C. 826) requires that the Attorney
General establish an assessment of
annual needs for ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine. This
responsibility has been delegated to the
Administrator of the DEA by 28 CFR
0.100.
On September 14, 2011, a notice
entitled ‘‘Proposed Adjustment of the
Assessment of Annual Needs for the List
I Chemicals Ephedrine,
Pseudoephedrine, and
Phenylpropanolamine for 2011’’ was
published in the Federal Register (76
FR 56807). That notice proposed to
adjust the 2011 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 14, 2011.
Comments Received
DEA did not receive any comments to
the proposed adjustment of the
assessment of annual needs for
ephedrine (for sale), ephedrine (for
conversion), pseudoephedrine (for sale),
phenylpropanolamine (for sale) and
phenylpropanolamine (for conversion).
Conclusion
In determining the adjusted 2011
assessments, DEA used the calculation
methodology previously described in
the 2010 and 2011 assessment of annual
needs (74 FR 60294 and 75 FR 79407
respectively). DEA considered changes
in demand, changes in the national rate
of net disposal, and changes in the rate
of net disposal by the registrants
holding individual manufacturing or

import quotas for the chemical; whether
any increased demand or changes in the
national and/or individual rates of net
disposal are temporary, short term, or
long term; whether any increased
demand could be met through existing
inventories, increased individual
manufacturing quotas, or increased
importation without increasing the
assessment of annual needs; whether
any decreased demand would result in
excessive inventory accumulation by all
persons registered to handle the
particular chemical; and other factors
affecting the medical, scientific,
research, industrial, and importation
needs in the United States, lawful
export requirements, and reserve stocks,
as found relevant.
Other factors that DEA considered
include trends as derived from
information provided in applications for
import, manufacturing, and
procurement quotas and in import and
export declarations. The inventory,
acquisition (purchases), and disposition
(sales) data as provided by DEA
registered manufacturers and importers
reflects the most current information
available to DEA at the time of
publication of this Notice. The
underlying data used to determine the
final 2011 assessment of annual needs is
the same as that used in determining the
proposed 2011 assessment of annual
needs, as published on September 14,
2011, at 76 FR 56807.
In accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826(a)
and 21 CFR 1315.13, the Administrator
hereby orders that the 2011 assessment
of annual needs for ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine, expressed in
kilograms of anhydrous acid or base, is
adjusted and established as follows:

The
purpose of Coke Oven Emissions
Standard and its information collection
requirements, codified at 29 CFR
1910.1029, are to provide protection for
workers from the adverse health effects
associated with occupational exposure
to coke oven emissions. Employers must
monitor worker exposure, reduce
worker exposure to within permissible
exposure limits, and provide workers
with medical examinations and training.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1218–0128. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2011; however, it should
be noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on August 22, 2011 (76 FR
52350).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1218–
0128. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

[Docket No. DEA 350F]
Final Adjusted Assessment of Annual Needs for the List I
Chemicals: Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine for 2011
AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice establishes the Final Adjusted 2011 assessment of
annual needs for the List I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine.
DATES: Effective Date: December 9, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John W. Partridge, Chief, Liaison and
Policy Section, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Springfield,
Virginia 22152, Telephone: (202) 307-4564.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2011 assessment of annual needs
represents those quantities of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine which may be manufactured domestically and imported
into the United States in 2011 to provide adequate supplies of each
chemical for the estimated medical, scientific, research, and
industrial needs of the United States, lawful export requirements, and
the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks of such chemicals.
Section 306 of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826)
requires that the Attorney General establish an assessment of annual
needs for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. This
responsibility has been delegated to the Administrator of the DEA by 28
CFR 0.100.
On September 14, 2011, a notice entitled ``Proposed Adjustment of
the Assessment of Annual Needs for the List I Chemicals Ephedrine,
Pseudoephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine for 2011'' was published in
the Federal Register (76 FR 56807). That notice proposed to adjust the
2011 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 14, 2011.
Comments Received
DEA did not receive any comments to the proposed adjustment of the
assessment of annual needs for ephedrine (for sale), ephedrine (for
conversion), pseudoephedrine (for sale), phenylpropanolamine (for sale)
and phenylpropanolamine (for conversion).
Conclusion
In determining the adjusted 2011 assessments, DEA used the
calculation methodology previously described in the 2010 and 2011
assessment of annual needs (74 FR 60294 and 75 FR 79407 respectively).
DEA considered changes in demand, changes in the national rate of net
disposal, and changes in the rate of net disposal by the registrants
holding individual manufacturing or import quotas for the chemical;
whether any increased demand or changes in the national and/or
individual rates of net disposal are temporary, short term, or long
term; whether any increased demand could be met through existing
inventories, increased individual manufacturing quotas, or increased
importation without increasing the assessment of annual needs; whether
any decreased demand would result in excessive inventory accumulation
by all persons registered to handle the particular chemical; and other
factors affecting the medical, scientific, research, industrial, and
importation needs in the United States, lawful export requirements, and
reserve stocks, as found relevant.
Other factors that DEA considered include trends as derived from
information provided in applications for import, manufacturing, and
procurement quotas and in import and export declarations. The
inventory, acquisition (purchases), and disposition (sales) data as
provided by DEA registered manufacturers and importers reflects the
most current information available to DEA at the time of publication of
this Notice. The underlying data used to determine the final 2011
assessment of annual needs is the same as that used in determining the
proposed 2011 assessment of annual needs, as published on September 14,
2011, at 76 FR 56807.
In accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826(a) and 21 CFR 1315.13, the
Administrator hereby orders that the 2011 assessment of annual needs
for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, expressed in
kilograms of anhydrous acid or base, is adjusted and established as
follows:
