SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 21, 2011, the Administrator of
the DEA published a Final Order in the
Federal Register (76 FR 65371)
amending 21 CFR 1308.11(g) to
temporarily place three synthetic
cathinones, namely mephedrone (4methyl-N-methylcathinone), MDPV (3,4methylenedioxypyrovalerone) and
methylone, into Schedule I of the CSA
pursuant to the temporary scheduling
provisions of 21 U.S.C. 811(h). That
Final Order, which became effective on
the date of publication, was based on
findings by the Administrator of the
DEA that the temporary scheduling of
these three synthetic cathinones was
necessary to avoid an imminent hazard
to the public safety pursuant to 21
U.S.C. 811(h)(1). At the time the Final
Order took effect, section 201(h)(2) of
the CSA (21 U.S.C. 811(h)(2) (2011))
required that the temporary scheduling
of a substance expire at the end of one
year from the date of issuance of the
order and that during the pendency of
proceedings under 21 U.S.C. 811(a)(1)
with respect to the substance, the
temporary scheduling of that substance
could be extended for up to six
months.1 Proceedings for the scheduling
of a substance under 21 U.S.C. 811(a)
may be initiated by the Attorney
General (delegated to the Administrator
of the DEA pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100)
on his own motion, at the request of the
Secretary of Health and Human
Services,2 or on the petition of any
interested party.
1 On July 9, 2012, President Obama signed the
Food and Drug Administration Safety and
Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–144) (FDASIA), which
amended section 201(h)(2) of the CSA to extend the
timeframes applicable to temporary scheduling.
2 Because the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services has delegated to the
Assistant Secretary for Health of the Department of
Health and Human Services the authority to make
domestic drug scheduling recommendations, for
purposes of this Final Order, all subsequent

The DEA has gathered and reviewed
the available information regarding the
pharmacology, chemistry, trafficking,
actual abuse, pattern of abuse and the
relative potential for abuse for these
three synthetic cathinones. On March
30, 2012, the Administrator of the DEA
submitted a letter to the Assistant
Secretary for Health of the Department
of Health and Human Services,
requesting scientific and medical
evaluations and scheduling
recommendations for these three
synthetic cathinones. In response to this
letter, on August 14, 2012, the Assistant
Secretary provided to DEA a scientific
and medical evaluation and
recommendation that methylone be
placed in Schedule I.3 Proceedings
regarding methylone have been initiated
in accordance with 21 U.S.C. 811(a)(1).
Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
811(h)(2), the Administrator of the DEA
hereby orders that the temporary
scheduling of methylone, including its
salts, isomers, and salts of isomers
whenever the existence of such salts,
isomers, and salts of isomers is possible,
is extended to April 20, 2013, or until
rulemaking proceedings are completed,
whichever occurs first.
In accordance with this Final Order,
the Schedule I requirements for
handling methylone including its salts,
isomers, and salts of isomers whenever
the existence of such salts, isomers, and
salts of isomers is possible, will remain
in effect until April 20, 2013, or until
rulemaking proceedings are completed,
whichever occurs first.
Pursuant to the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (Congressional Review Act) (5
U.S.C. 801–808), DEA has submitted a
copy of this Final Order to both Houses
of Congress and to the Comptroller
General.
