The Department of Justice published a notice in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on March 14, 1986 (51 FR 8903). The last notification was filed with the Department on June 2, 2010. A notice was published in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on August 2, 2010 (75 FR 45156). John W. Partridge, Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement Administration, 8701 Morrissette Drive, Springfield, VA 22152, Telephone: (202) 307–4654. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 306 of the Controlled Substances Act (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 2012 aggregate production quotas represent those quantities of Schedule I and II controlled substances that may be produced in the United States in 2012 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 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 controlled substances for use in industrial processes. On October 21, 2011, a notice entitled ‘‘Controlled Substances: Proposed Aggregate Production Quotas for 2012’’ was published in the Federal Register (76 FR 65537). That notice proposed the 2012 aggregate production quotas for each basic class of controlled substance listed in Schedules I and II. All interested persons were invited to comment on or object to the proposed aggregate production quotas on or before November 21, 2011. Sixteen responses (eleven from DEA registered manufacturers, and five from other members of the public) were received within the published comment period, offering comments on a total of 37 Schedule I and II controlled substances. Several comments discussed the national prescription drug abuse epidemic and urged DEA to reduce quotas for prescription painkillers and opioids. Addressing prescription drug abuse requires a multi-faceted approach which includes education, treatment, and enforcement. The quota system is specifically designed to operate within the statutory framework of the CSA, in conjunction with other controls to enable DEA to monitor the movement of controlled substances and certain chemicals into and through the closed system of distribution to help prevent diversion of such substances into the illicit market. Through the quota system, DEA limits the amount of those substances and chemicals manufactured each year to those quantities that will provide for the estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs, lawful export requirements, and the establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks for the United States. All aspects of the closed system of distribution must work together to reduce or eliminate the diversion of controlled substances. Other commenters stated that the proposed aggregate production quotas for alfentanil, amphetamine (for sale), codeine (for conversion), codeine (for sale), dihydrocodeine, dihydromorphine, diphenoxylate, hydrocodone (for sale), hydromorphinol, levorphanol, lisdexamfetamine, meperidine, meperidine intermediate A, meperidine intermediate B, meperidine intermediate C, methadone, methadone intermediate, methamphetamine, methylphenidate, morphine (for conversion), morphine (for sale), morphine-N-oxide, nabilone, noroxymorphone (for conversion), noroxymorphone (for sale), opium (tincture), oripavine, oxycodone (for conversion), oxycodone (for sale), E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM 15DEN1
