In general, adverse effects produced by cannabinoid agonists include tachycardia, agitation, hallucination, chest pain, seizure, anxiety, and acute psychosis. 5F–ADB has been identified in overdose and/or cases involving death attributed to their abuse. Adverse health effects reported from incidents involving 5F–ADB and other synthetic cannabinoids have included: nausea, persistent vomiting, agitation, altered mental status, seizures, convulsions, loss of consciousness, and/or cardio toxicity. On April 10, 2017, the DEA issued a temporary scheduling order to temporarily schedule 5F–ADB, its isomers, esters, ethers, salts and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers into Schedule I pursuant to the temporary scheduling provisions of the CSA (82 FR 17119). As such, additional permanent controls will be necessary to fulfill U.S. obligations if 5F–ADB is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. AB–PINACA is a clandestinely produced synthetic cannabinoid agonist approximately 1.5 times as potent as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Adverse effects produced by cannabinoid agonists include tachycardia, agitation, hallucination, chest pain, seizure, anxiety, acute psychosis, and death. AB–PINACA has been detected in illicit synthetic cannabinoid substances, and reported in cases of overdose and hospitalizations. It has not been approved for medical use in the United States. On October 16, 2017, the DEA published a Final Rule to permanently control AB–PINACA as a Schedule I substance under the CSA (82 FR 47971). As such, additional permanent controls will not be necessary to fulfill U.S. obligations if AB–PINACA is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. UR–144 is a clandestinely produced synthetic cannabinoid agonist. In general, adverse effects produced by cannabinoid agonists include tachycardia, agitation, hallucination, chest pain, seizure, anxiety, acute psychosis, and death. UR–144 has been detected in herbal smoking blends that are sold as herbal incense. On May 11, 2016, the DEA issued a Final Rule to permanently schedule UR–144 into Schedule I of the CSA (81 FR 29142). As such, additional permanent controls will not be necessary to fulfill U.S. obligations if UR–144 is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:14 Jan 25, 2018 Jkt 244001 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. 5F–PB–22 is a synthetic cannabinoid agonist with similar effects to delta-9tetrahydrocannabinol, one of the main psychoactive components of cannabis. Adverse effects produced by cannabinoid agonists include tachycardia, agitation, hallucination, chest pain, seizure, anxiety, acute psychosis, and death. 5F–PB–22 is clandestinely produced. It has been found laced on plant material and marketed as herbal products, and is smoked for its psychoactive effects. According to the WHO, 5F–PB–22 has been associated with fatal intoxications. On September 6, 2016, the DEA issued a Final Rule to permanently place 5F– PB–22 into Schedule I of the CSA (81 FR 61130). As such, additional permanent controls will not be necessary to fulfill U.S. obligations if 5F–PB–22 is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. 4-Fluoroamphetamine (4–FA) is a psychoactive substance of the phenethylamine and substituted amphetamine chemical classes and produces stimulant effects. WHO reports that 4–FA is clandestinely produced, and its use is associated with fatal and non-fatal intoxications. 4–FA is not approved for medical use in the United States and it is not controlled under the CSA. As such, additional permanent controls will be necessary to fulfill U.S. obligations if 4–FA is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. FDA, on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, invites interested persons to submit comments on the notifications from the United Nations concerning these drug substances. FDA, in cooperation with the National Institute on Drug Abuse, will consider the comments on behalf of HHS in evaluating the WHO scheduling recommendations. Then, under section 201(d)(2)(B) of the CSA, HHS will recommend to the Secretary of State what position the United States should take when voting on the recommendations for control of substances under the Psychotropic Convention at the CND meeting in March 2018. Comments regarding the WHO recommendations for control of carfentanil, ocfentanil, furanyl fentanyl (Fu-F), acryloylfentanyl (acryl fentanyl), 4-fluoroisobutyryl fentanyl (4–FIBF), and tetrahydrofuranylfentanyl (THF–F), under the 1961 Single Convention, will also be forwarded to the relevant Agencies for consideration in PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 developing the U.S. position regarding narcotic substances at the CND meeting.
