[FR Doc. 2012–22121 Filed 9–7–12; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410–15–P DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Drug Enforcement Administration [Docket No. DEA–363] Controlled Substances: Final Adjusted Aggregate Production Quotas for 2012 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice establishes final adjusted 2012 aggregate production quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and II of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John W. Partridge, Chief, Liaison and Policy Section, Drug Enforcement Administration, 8701 Morrissette Drive, Springfield, VA 22152, Telephone: (202) 307–4654. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background Section 306(a) 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. In accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826 and 21 CFR 1303.11, DEA published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2011, notice of the established 2012 aggregate production quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and II (76 FR 78044). That notice stated that the Administrator would adjust, as needed, the established aggregate production quotas in 2012 as provided for in 21 CFR 1303.13. The 2012 proposed adjusted aggregate production quotas were subsequently published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2012 (77 FR 39737) in consideration of the outlined criteria. All interested persons were invited to comment on or object to the proposed adjusted aggregate production quotas on or before August 6, 2012. Analysis for Final Adjusted 2012 Aggregate Production Quotas Consideration has been given to the criteria outlined in the July 5, 2012, notice of proposed adjusted aggregate production quotas in accordance with 21 CFR 1303.13. In addition, nine companies, eight DEA registered manufacturers and one non-registrant, submitted timely comments regarding a total of 25 Schedule I and II controlled substances. Comments received proposed that the aggregate production quotas for 3,4-Methylenedioxy-NMethylcathinone (methylone), alfentanil, amphetamine (for conversion), amphetamine (for sale), codeine (for conversion), codeine (for sale), desomorphine, dihydromorphine, hydrocodone (for sale), hydromorphone, levomethorphan, lisdexamfetamine, methadone intermediate, methylphenidate, morphine (for conversion), morphine (for sale), noroxymorphone (for conversion), noroxymorphone (for sale), oripavine, oxycodone (for conversion), oxycodone (for sale), oxymorphone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for sale), sufentanil, and tapentadol 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 2011 year-end inventories, initial 2012 manufacturing quotas, 2012 export requirements, actual and projected 2012 sales, research and product development requirements, and additional applications received. Based on all of the above, the Administrator has determined that the proposed adjusted 2012 aggregate production quotas for 3,4Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-Methylcathinone (methylone), 4-Methyl-NMethylcathinone (mephedrone), alfentanil, amphetamine (for conversion), desomorphine, diethyltryptamine, dihydromorphine, gamma hydroxybutyric acid, hydrocodone (for sale), hydromorphone, levomethorphan, methadone, methadone intermediate, methylphenidate, morphine (for sale), oxycodone (for conversion), oxycodone (for sale), and sufentanil required additional consideration and hereby further adjusts the 2012 aggregate production quotas for those substances. Regarding amphetamine (for sale), codeine (for conversion), codeine (for sale), morphine (for conversion), noroxymorphone (for conversion), noroxymorphone (for sale), oripavine, oxymorphone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for sale), and tapentadol, the Administrator hereby determines that the proposed adjusted 2012 aggregate production quotas for these substances as published on July 5, 2012, at 77 FR 39737 are sufficient to meet the current 2012 estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States and to provide for adequate inventories. Pursuant to the above, the Administrator hereby establishes the 2012 final aggregate production quotas for Schedule I and II controlled substances, expressed in grams of anhydrous acid or base, as follows: Final adjusted 2012 quotas mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Basic Class—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) ......................................................................................................................................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2012 Assessment of Annual Needs represents those quantities of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine which may be manufactured domestically and imported into the United States in 2012 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 July 18, 2012, a notice entitled ‘‘Proposed Adjustment of the Assessment of Annual Needs for the List I Chemicals Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:57 Sep 07, 2012 Jkt 226001 Phenylpropanolamine for 2012’’ was published in the Federal Register (77 FR 42333). That notice proposed to adjust the 2012 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 August 17, 2012. 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 2012 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 DEAregistered manufacturers and importers reflects the most current information available to DEA at the time of publication of this Notice.

Controlled Substances: Final Adjusted Aggregate Production Quotas 
for 2012

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice establishes final adjusted 2012 aggregate 
production quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and II of 
the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John W. Partridge, Chief, Liaison and 
Policy Section, Drug Enforcement Administration, 8701 Morrissette 
Drive, Springfield, VA 22152, Telephone: (202) 307-4654.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Section 306(a) 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. In accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826 and 21 CFR 1303.11, DEA 
published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2011, notice of the 
established 2012 aggregate production quotas for controlled substances 
in Schedules I and II (76 FR 78044). That notice stated that the 
Administrator would adjust, as needed, the established aggregate 
production quotas in 2012 as provided for in 21 CFR 1303.13. The 2012 
proposed adjusted aggregate production quotas were subsequently 
published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2012 (77 FR 39737) in 
consideration of the outlined criteria. All interested persons were 
invited to comment on or object to the proposed adjusted aggregate 
production quotas on or before August 6, 2012.

Analysis for Final Adjusted 2012 Aggregate Production Quotas

    Consideration has been given to the criteria outlined in the July 
5, 2012, notice of proposed adjusted aggregate production quotas in 
accordance with 21 CFR 1303.13. In addition, nine companies, eight DEA 
registered manufacturers and one non-registrant, submitted timely 
comments regarding a total of 25 Schedule I and II controlled 
substances. Comments received proposed that the aggregate production 
quotas for 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-Methylcathinone (methylone), 
alfentanil, amphetamine (for conversion), amphetamine (for sale), 
codeine (for conversion), codeine (for sale), desomorphine, 
dihydromorphine, hydrocodone (for sale), hydromorphone, levomethorphan, 
lisdexamfetamine, methadone intermediate, methylphenidate, morphine 
(for conversion), morphine (for sale), noroxymorphone (for conversion), 
noroxymorphone (for sale), oripavine, oxycodone (for conversion), 
oxycodone (for sale), oxymorphone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for 
sale), sufentanil, and tapentadol 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 2011 year-end inventories, initial 2012 manufacturing quotas, 
2012 export requirements, actual and projected 2012 sales, research and 
product development requirements, and additional applications received. 
Based on all of the above, the Administrator has determined that the 
proposed adjusted 2012 aggregate production quotas for 3,4-
Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), 3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-Methylcathinone 
(methylone), 4-Methyl-N-Methylcathinone (mephedrone), alfentanil, 
amphetamine (for conversion), desomorphine, diethyltryptamine, 
dihydromorphine, gamma hydroxybutyric acid, hydrocodone (for sale), 
hydromorphone, levomethorphan, methadone, methadone intermediate, 
methylphenidate, morphine (for sale), oxycodone (for conversion), 
oxycodone (for sale), and sufentanil required additional consideration 
and hereby further adjusts the 2012 aggregate production quotas for 
those substances. Regarding amphetamine (for sale), codeine (for 
conversion), codeine (for sale), morphine (for conversion), 
noroxymorphone (for conversion), noroxymorphone (for sale), oripavine, 
oxymorphone (for conversion), oxymorphone (for sale), and tapentadol, 
the Administrator hereby determines that the proposed adjusted 2012 
aggregate production quotas for these substances as published on July 
5, 2012, at 77 FR 39737 are sufficient to meet the current 2012 
estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the 
United States and to provide for adequate inventories. Pursuant to the 
above, the Administrator hereby establishes the 2012 final aggregate 
production quotas for Schedule I and II controlled substances,
