BILLING CODE 7020–02–P
Vermont Asbestos Group, Inc. was
lodged with the United States District
Court for the District of Vermont.
In the United States’ action brought
under Sections 106, 107, and 113(g)(2)
of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607 and
9613(g)(2) (‘‘CERCLA’’), the United
States seeks injunctive relief requiring
the Vermont Asbestos Group (‘‘Settling
Defendant’’) to perform the operation
and maintenance of the erosion control
structures constructed by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency
at the Vermont Asbestos Group Mine
Superfund Site in Lowell and Eden,
Vermont. The United States also seeks
to recover costs incurred and to be
incurred by the United States in
response to releases or threatened
releases of hazardous substances at or
from the Site.
The settlement, based on Settling
Defendant’s limited ‘‘ability to pay,’’
requires Settling Defendant to undertake
the operation and maintenance of the
erosion control structures at the Site;
pay the State of Vermont $5,000 per
year for ten years; and stipulate to a
judgment in favor of the United States
in the amount of $3,360,082 for EPA’s
past cleanup costs and in favor of the
State in the amount of $174,620 for the
State’s past cleanup costs. The Settling
Defendant also stipulates to the entry of
a judgment in favor of the State for State
Future Response Costs estimated to be
at least $28,458,399. These stipulated
amounts are to be satisfied only through
the recovery of insurance proceeds.

Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 306 of the CSA (21 U.S.C.
826) requires the Attorney General to
establish aggregate production quotas
for each basic class of controlled
substance listed in Schedules I and II
and for the List I chemicals ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine. 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 2014 aggregate production quotas
and assessment of annual needs
represent those quantities of Schedules
I and II controlled substances and the
List I chemicals ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine to be
manufactured in the United States in
2014 to provide for the estimated
medical, scientific, research, and
industrial needs of the United States,
lawful export requirements, and the
establishment and maintenance of
reserve stocks. These quotas include
imports of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine,
and phenylpropanolamine but do not
include imports of controlled
substances for use in industrial
processes.
On July 3, 2013, a notice titled,
‘‘Proposed Aggregate Production Quotas
for Schedule I and II Controlled
Substances and Proposed Assessment of
Annual Needs for the List I Chemicals
Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and
Phenylpropanolamine for 2014,’’ was
published in the Federal Register (78
FR 40186). That notice proposed the
2014 aggregate production quotas for
each basic class of controlled substance
listed in Schedules I and II and the 2014
assessment of annual needs for the List
I chemicals ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine. All interested
persons were invited to comment on or
object to the proposed aggregate
production quotas and the proposed
assessment of annual needs on or before
August 2, 2013.
Comments Received
DEA received seven comments from
DEA-registered manufacturers within
the published comment period on a
total of 23 Schedule I and II controlled
substances and one List I chemical.
Commenters stated that the proposed

aggregate production quotas for (1Pentyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(2,2,3,3tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanone (UR144), [1-(5-fluoro-pentyl)-1H-indol-3yl](2,2,3,3tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanone

oripavine, oxycodone (for sale),
oxymorphone (for conversion),
oxymorphone (for sale), phenylacetone,
tapentadol, tetrahydrocannabinol, and
thebaine were insufficient to provide for
the estimated medical, scientific,
research, and industrial needs of the
United States, export requirements, and
the establishment and maintenance of
reserve stocks. One commenter stated
that the proposed assessment of annual
needs quota for phenylpropanolamine
(for conversion) was insufficient to
provide for the estimated medical,
scientific, research, and industrial needs
of the United States, export
requirements, and the establishment
and maintenance of reserve stocks.
Determination of 2014 Aggregate
Production Quotas and Assessment of
Annual Needs
In determining the 2014 aggregate
production quotas and assessment of
annual needs, the DEA has taken into
consideration the above comments
along with the factors set forth at 21
CFR 1303.11 and 21 CFR 1315.11, in
accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826(a), and
other relevant factors, including the
consideration of 2013 manufacturing
quotas, current 2013 sales and
inventories, 2014 export requirements,
industrial use, additional applications
for quotas, as well as information on
research and product development
requirements. Based on this
information, the DEA has determined
that adjustments to the proposed
aggregate production quotas and
assessment of annual needs for 1-[1-(2Thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine,
carfentanil, cathinone,
dihydromorphine, dimethyltryptamine,
ecgonine, hydromorphone,
levomethorphan, lysergic acid
diethylamide, metazocine,
methamphetamine, dmethamphetamine (for conversion),
methyldesorphine, noroxymorphone
(for conversion), oxymorphone (for
conversion), phencyclidine,
phenylacetone, ephedrine (for
conversion), ephedrine (for sale),
