Legal Authority and Background
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
each year. This responsibility has been
delegated to the Administrator of the
Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA). 28 CFR 0.100.
The DEA established the 2015
aggregate production quotas for
substances in schedules I and II on
September 8, 2014 (79 FR 53216).
Subsequently, on December 19, 2014,
DEA published in the Federal Register
a notice of intent to temporarily place 3
synthetic cannabinoids: N-(1-amino-3methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-indazole-3carboxamide (AB-CHMINACA), N-(1amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1pentyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (ABPINACA), and [1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1Hindazol-3-yl](naphthalen-1yl)methanone (THJ-2201) into schedule
I of the CSA (79 FR 75767). On January
30, 2015, the DEA published in the
Federal Register a final order to
temporarily place these three synthetic
cannabinoids in schedule I of the CSA
(80 FR 5042), making all regulatory
controls pertaining to schedule I
controlled substances applicable to the
manufacture of these three synthetic
cannabinoids, including the
requirement to establish an aggregate
production quota pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
826 and 21 CFR part 1303.
AB-CHMINACA, AB-PINACA, and
THJ-2201 were non-controlled
substances when the aggregate
production quotas for schedule I and II
substances were established. Therefore
no aggregate production quotas for ABCHMINACA, AB-PINACA, and THJ2201 were established at that time.
15035
In determining the 2015 aggregate
production quotas of these three
synthetic cannabinoids, the
Administrator considered the following
factors in accordance with 21 U.S.C.
826(a) and 21 CFR 1303.11(b): (1) Total
net disposal of the class by all
manufacturers during the current and 2
preceding years; (2) trends in the
national rate of net disposal of the class;
(3) total estimated inventories of the
basic class and of all substances
manufactured from the class, and trends
in inventory accumulation; (4) projected
demand for each class as indicated by
procurement quotas requested pursuant
to 21 CFR 1303.12; and (5) other factors
affecting medical, scientific, research,
and industrial needs of the United
States and lawful export requirements,
as the Administrator finds relevant.
These quotas do not include imports of
controlled substances for use in
industrial processes.
The Administrator, therefore,
proposes that the annual 2015 aggregate
production quotas for the following
temporarily controlled schedule I
controlled substances, expressed in
grams of anhydrous acid or base, be
established as follows:

Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) is providing notice
of revised normal cost percentages for
employees covered by the Federal
Employees’ Retirement System (FERS)
Act of 1986.
DATES: The revised normal cost
percentages are effective at the
beginning of the first pay period
commencing on or after October 1, 2015.
Agency appeals of the normal cost
percentages must be filed no later than
September 21, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Send or deliver agency
appeals of the normal cost percentages
and requests for actuarial assumptions
and data to the Board of Actuaries, care
of Gregory Kissel, Senior Actuary, Office
of Planning and Policy Analysis, Office
of Personnel Management, Room 4307,
1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC
20415.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Karla Yeakle, (202) 606–0299.
The FERS
Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99–335, created a
new retirement system intended to
cover most Federal employees hired
after 1983. Most Federal employees
hired before 1984 are under the older
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS).
Section 8423 of title 5, United States
Code, as added by the FERS Act of 1986,
provides for the payment of the
Government’s share of the cost of the
retirement system under FERS.
Employees’ contributions are
established by law and constitute only
a portion of the cost of funding the
retirement system; employing agencies
are required to pay the remaining costs.
The amount of funding required, known
as ‘‘normal cost,’’ is the entry age
normal cost of the provisions of FERS

that relate to the Civil Service
Retirement and Disability Fund (Fund).
The normal cost must be computed by
OPM in accordance with generally
accepted actuarial practices and
standards (using dynamic assumptions).
The normal cost calculations depend on
economic and demographic
assumptions. Subpart D of part 841 of
title 5, Code of Federal Regulations,
regulates how normal costs are
determined.
In its meeting on June 18, 2013, the
Board of Actuaries of the Civil Service
Retirement System (the Board)
recommended changes to certain
demographic assumptions used in the
actuarial valuations of CSRS and FERS.
The most significant change applies
additional projected mortality
improvement resulting in greater
assumed annuitant longevity. The
previous assumptions reflected
mortality rates improved to year 2024;
the revised projection assumes mortality
rates are expected to improve
indefinitely at an ultimate rate of 1.0
percent annually for employees and
non-disabled annuitants. OPM has
adopted the Board’s recommendations.
With regard to the economic
assumptions described under section
841.402 of title 5, Code of Federal
Regulations, used in the actuarial
valuations of FERS, the Board
concluded that it would be appropriate
to continue to assume a rate of
investment return of 5.25 percent. In
addition, the Board determined that the
assumed inflation rate should remain at
3.00 percent and that the projected rate
of General Schedule salary increases
should remain at 3.25 percent. These
salary increases are in addition to
assumed within-grade increases. These
assumptions are intended to reflect the
long term expected future experience of
the Systems.
The demographic assumptions are
determined separately for each of a
number of special groups, in cases
where separate experience data is
available. Based on the demographic
and economic assumptions described
above, OPM has determined the normal
cost percentage for each category of
employees under section 841.403 of title
5, Code of Federal Regulations.
Section 5001 of Public Law 112–96,
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Jobs
Creation Act of 2012, established
provisions for FERS Revised Annuity
Employees (FERS–RAE). The law
permanently increases the retirement
contributions by 2.30 percent of pay for
these employees. Subsequently, Section
401 of Public Law 113–67, the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, created
another class of FERS coverage, FERS-
