requires the Attorney General to
establish aggregate production quotas
for each basic class of controlled
substance listed in schedule I and II and
for the list I chemicals ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine. The Attorney
General has delegated this function to
the Administrator of the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA)
pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100.
II. Background
The 2024 aggregate production quotas
(APQ) and assessment of annual needs
(AAN) represent those quantities of
schedule I and II controlled substances
and the list I chemicals ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine that may be
manufactured in the United States in
2024, in order to provide for the
estimated medical, scientific, research,

and industrial needs of the U.S., 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 November 2, 2023, a notice titled
‘‘Proposed Aggregate Production Quotas
for Schedule I and II Controlled
Substances and Assessment of Annual
Needs for the List I Chemicals
Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and
Phenylpropanolamine for 2024’’ was
published in the Federal Register. 88 FR
75312. This notice proposed the 2024
APQ for each basic class of controlled
substance listed in schedules I and II
and the 2024 AAN for the list I
chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine,
and phenylpropanolamine. All
interested persons were invited to
comment on or object to the proposed
APQ and the proposed AAN on or
before December 4, 2023.
III. Comments Received
Within the public comment period,
DEA received 4,699 comments from
DEA registrants, people with chronic
pain, patients with attention deficit/
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pain
advocacy associations, U.S. professional
associations, U.S. nurses, the Royal
Australian and New Zealand College of
Psychiatrists, the Australian ADHD
Professionals Association, the ADHD
Foundation Australia, and others. The
comments included concerns about
potential domestic opioid drug
shortages due to further quota
reductions; stimulant drug shortages in
the United States and Australia;
concerns that medical professionals
might be impeded from exercising their
medical expertise regarding opioid
prescriptions; two requests for a public
hearing; concerns with the
implementation of quarterly quota
allotments, and comments not
pertaining to DEA regulated activities.
DEA restricted seven comments from
public view due to confidential business
information and/or confidential
personal identifying information.
Opioid Adequacy
Issue (Medication Out of Stock at
Pharmacy Level): Commenters
questioned whether the 2024 proposed
APQs for Schedule II opioids will be
adequate to meet legitimate medical
needs of patients. Commenters said that
because of decreases in aggregate
production quotas for specific opioids,
they have had difficulty filling
legitimate prescriptions at pharmacies.
