As such, additional permanent controls will not be necessary to fulfill United States obligations if 5F–AMB is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention. 5F-MDMB-PICA (5F-MDMB-2201) (chemical name: methyl 2-(1-(5fluoropentyl)-1H-indazole-3carboxamido)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate) is a synthetic cannabinoid that has been sold online and used to mimic the biological effects of THC, the main psychoactive chemical constituent in cannabis. Research and clinical reports have demonstrated that synthetic cannabinoids are applied onto plant material so that the material may be smoked as users attempt to obtain a euphoric and psychoactive ‘‘high.’’ Synthetic cannabinoids have been marketed under the guise of ‘‘herbal incense,’’ and promoted by drug traffickers as legal alternatives to cannabis. 5F-MDMB-PICA has been associated with law enforcement seizures and overdoses requiring emergency medical intervention. On April 16, 2019, 5F-MDMB-PICA was temporarily controlled as a Schedule I substance under the CSA. As such, additional permanent controls will be necessary to fulfill United States obligations if 5F-MDMB-PICA is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention. 4F-MDMB-BINACA (4F-ADB) (chemical name: methyl 2-(1-(4fluorobutyl)-1H-indazole-3carboxamido)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate) is a synthetic cannabinoid that is a potent full agonist at CB1 receptors. This substance functionally (biologically) mimics the effects of THC, a Schedule I substance, and the main psychoactive constituent in cannabis. 4F-MDMBBINACA has been encountered in numerous synthetic cannabinoid products that are smoked for their psychoactive effects. Multiple law enforcement encounters of 4F-MDMBBINACA have been reported involving overdose deaths, illicit use, and seizures of drug evidence between December 2018 and February 2019. There are no commercial or approved medical uses for 4F-MDMB-BINACA. 4F-MDMBBINACA is a positional isomer of 5FAMB (chemical name: methyl 2-(1-(5fluoropentyl)-1H-indazole-3carboxamido)-3-methylbutanoate), as defined by 21 CFR 1300.01, and has been a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA since April 10, 2017. As such, additional permanent controls will not be necessary to fulfill United States obligations if 4F-MDMB-BINACA is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Dec 30, 2019 Jkt 250001 4-CMC (4-chloromethcathinone; clefedrone, clephedrone) (chemical name: 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2(methylamino)propan-1-one) is a synthetic cathinone. 4-CMC produces central nervous system stimulant effects and is abused for its psychoactive properties. 4-CMC abuse has been associated with adverse health effects. 4-CMC has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. 4-CMC is not controlled under the CSA, but it is considered a Schedule I controlled substance by a number of states in the United States. As such, additional permanent controls will be necessary to fulfill United States obligations if 4-CMC is controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention. N-Ethylhexedrone (chemical name: 2(ethylamino)-1-phenylhexan-1-one; NEH, hexen, Ethyl-Hex) and alpha-PHP (chemical name: 1-phenyl-2-(pyrrolidin1-yl)hexan-1-one; PV-7, apyrrolidinohexanophenone) are synthetic cathinones. N-Ethylhexedrone and alpha-PHP produce central nervous system stimulant effects and are abused for their psychoactive properties. NEthylhexedrone and alpha-PHP have been associated with adverse health effects leading to emergency department admissions, and deaths. NEthylhexedrone and alpha-PHP have no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. On July 18, 2019, N-Ethylhexedrone and alphaPHP were temporarily controlled as a Schedule I substance under the CSA. As such, additional permanent controls will be necessary to fulfill United States obligations if N-Ethylhexedrone and alpha-PHP are controlled under Schedule II of the 1971 Convention. Flualprazolam and etizolam belong to a class of substances known as benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines produce central nervous system depression and are commonly used to treat insomnia, anxiety, and seizure disorders. Etizolam is currently prescribed in some countries; however, neither drug substance is approved for medical use in the United States. Currently, flualprazolam and etizolam are not controlled under the CSA, but are controlled in a number of states in the United States. As such, additional permanent controls will be necessary to fulfill United States obligations if flualprazolam and etizolam are controlled under Schedule IV of the 1971 Convention. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 72377 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 1971 Convention at the CND meeting in March 2020. Comments regarding the WHO recommendations for control of crotonyl fentanyl and valeryl fentanyl; under the 1961 Single Convention will also be forwarded to the relevant Agencies for consideration in developing the United States position regarding narcotic substances at the CND meeting.
