Dairyland Power Cooperative (‘‘Dairyland’’), Civil Action No. 12-cv-462, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. In this civil enforcement action under the federal Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’), the United States alleges that Dairyland—an electric utility—failed to comply with certain requirements of the Act intended to protect air quality. The complaint alleges that Dairyland violated the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (‘‘PSD’’) and Title V provisions of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671 et seq., and related state and federal implementing regulations, at the Alma/J.P. Madgett Generating Station, a coal-fired power plant in Buffalo County, Wisconsin, and the Genoa Generating Station, a coalfired power plant in Vernon County, Wisconsin. The alleged violations arise from the construction of modifications at the power plants and operation of the plants in violation of PSD and Title V requirements. The complaint alleges that Dairyland failed to obtain appropriate permits and failed to install and apply required pollution control VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:48 Jul 03, 2012 Jkt 226001 devices to reduce emissions of various air pollutants. The complaint seeks both injunctive relief and civil penalties. The proposed Decree lodged with the Court requires installation and operation of certain pollution control devices at the Alma/J.P. Madgett and Genoa plants, and the permanent cessation of operations of certain units at the Alma/J.P. Madgett plant. The settlement will reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (‘‘SO2’’), nitrogen oxides (‘‘NOX’’), and particular matter (‘‘PM’’) through emission control requirements and limitations specified by the proposed Decree. Dairyland will also fund environmental projects at a cost of at least $5 million to mitigate the alleged adverse effects of its past violations, and will pay a civil penalty of $950,000. The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either emailed to pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov or mailed to P.O.

Background 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 to 28 CFR 0.104. The 2012 established aggregate production quotas for controlled substances in schedules I and II were published in the Federal Register (76 FR 78044) on December 15, 2011. That notice stipulated that, as provided for in 21 CFR 1303.13, all aggregate production quotas are subject to adjustment. Analysis for Proposed Revised 2012 Aggregate Production Quotas DEA now proposes to adjust the established 2012 aggregate production quotas for some schedule I and II controlled substances. In proposing the adjustment, DEA has taken into account the criteria that DEA is required to consider in accordance with 21 CFR 1303.13. DEA proposes the adjustment of the aggregate production quotas for basic classes of schedule I and II controlled substances by considering (1) Changes in demand for the class, changes in the national rate of net disposal for the class, and changes in the rate of net disposal by the registrants holding individual manufacturing quotas for the class; (2) whether any increased demand or changes in the national and/or individual rates of net disposal are temporary, short term, or long term; (3) whether any increased demand can be met through existing inventories, increased individual manufacturing quotas, or increased importation without increasing the aggregate production quota; (4) whether any decreased demand will result in excessive inventory accumulation by all persons registered to handle the class; and (5) other factors affecting the medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States and lawful export requirements, as the Administrator finds relevant. In determining whether to propose adjustments to the 2012 aggregate production quotas, DEA considered updated information obtained from 2011 year-end inventories, 2011 disposition data submitted by quota applicants, estimates of the medical needs of the United States, product development, and other information made available to DEA after the initial aggregate production quotas had been established. The Deputy Administrator, therefore, proposes to adjust the 2012 aggregate production quotas for some schedule I and II controlled substances, expressed in grams of anhydrous acid or base, as follows: Previously established 2012 quotas Basic class Proposed adjusted 2012 quotas TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Schedule I 1-[1-(2-Thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine ................................................................................................................. 1-[2-(4-Morpholinyl)ethyl]-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH-200) ............................................................................. 1-Butyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH-073) .......................................................................................................... 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-4-propionoxypiperidine ......................................................................................................... 1-Pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole (JWH-018) ........................................................................................................ 2,5-Dimethoxyamphetamine .............................................................................................................................. 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethylamphetamine (DOET) .................................................................................................... 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-n-propylthiophenethylamine ................................................................................................... 3-Methylfentanyl ................................................................................................................................................. 3-Methylthiofentanyl ........................................................................................................................................... 3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) .......................................................................................................... 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-methylcathinone (methylone) ........................................................................................ 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine (MDEA) ........................................................................................... 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) ............................................................................................... 3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) ......................................................................................................... 3,4,5-Trimethoxyamphetamine .......................................................................................................................... 4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (DOB) .................................................................................................... 4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (2-CB) ................................................................................................ 4-Methoxyamphetamine .................................................................................................................................... 4-Methylaminorex .............................................................................................................................................. 4-Methyl-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine (DOM) .................................................................................................... 4-Methyl-N-methylcathinone (mephedrone) ...................................................................................................... 5-(1,1-Dimethylheptyl)-2-[(1R,3S)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol ....................................................................... 5-(1,1-Dimethyloctyl)-2-[(1R,3S)-3-hydroxycyclohexyl]-phenol .........................................................................

Background

    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 to 28 CFR 0.104. The 2012 established aggregate 
production quotas for controlled substances in schedules I and II were 
published in the Federal Register (76 FR 78044) on December 15, 2011. 
That notice stipulated that, as provided for in 21 CFR 1303.13, all 
aggregate production quotas are subject to adjustment.

Analysis for Proposed Revised 2012 Aggregate Production Quotas

    DEA now proposes to adjust the established 2012 aggregate 
production quotas for some schedule I and II controlled substances. In 
proposing the adjustment, DEA has taken into account the criteria that 
DEA is required to consider in accordance with 21 CFR 1303.13. DEA 
proposes the adjustment of the aggregate production quotas for basic 
classes of schedule I and II controlled substances by considering (1) 
Changes in demand for the class, changes in the national rate of net 
disposal for the class, and changes in the rate of net disposal by the 
registrants holding individual manufacturing quotas for the class; (2) 
whether any increased demand or changes in the national and/or 
individual rates of net disposal are temporary, short term, or long 
term; (3) whether any increased demand can be met through existing 
inventories, increased individual manufacturing quotas, or increased 
importation without increasing the aggregate production quota; (4) 
whether any decreased demand will result in excessive inventory 
accumulation by all persons registered to handle the class; and (5) 
other factors affecting the medical, scientific, research, and 
industrial needs of the United States and lawful export requirements, 
as the Administrator finds relevant.
    In determining whether to propose adjustments to the 2012 aggregate 
production quotas, DEA considered updated information obtained from 
2011 year-end inventories, 2011 disposition data submitted by quota 
applicants, estimates of the medical needs of the United States, 
product development, and other information made available to DEA after 
the initial aggregate production quotas had been established. The 
Deputy Administrator, therefore, proposes to adjust the 2012 aggregate 
production quotas for some schedule I and II controlled substances, 
expressed in grams of anhydrous acid or base, as follows:
