Controlled Substances: 2014 Proposed Aggregate Production Quota for Four Temporarily Controlled Synthetic Cannabinoids
Four synthetic cannabinoids: quinolin-8-yl 1-pentyl-1H-indole- 3-carboxylate (PB-22; QUPIC); quinolin-8-yl 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H- indole-3-carboxylate (5-fluoro-PB-22; 5F-PB-22); N-(1-amino-3-methyl-1- oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (AB- FUBINACA); and N-(1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-pentyl-1H- indazole-3-carboxamide (ADB-PINACA) were temporarily placed in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) by a final order published by the DEA on February 10, 2014 (79 FR 7577). This means that any manufacturer that wishes to manufacture PB-22, 5F-PB-22, AB-FUBINACA, or ADB-PINACA after February 10, 2014, must be registered with the DEA and have obtained a manufacturing quota for PB-22, 5F-PB-22, AB- FUBINACA, or ADB-PINACA pursuant to 21 CFR part 1303. The DEA cannot issue individual manufacturing quotas for PB-22, 5F- PB-22, AB-FUBINACA, or ADB-PINACA unless and until it establishes an aggregate production quota. Therefore, this notice proposes a 2014 aggregate production quota for PB-22, 5F-PB-22, AB-FUBINACA, and ADB- PINACA.
Schedules of Controlled Substances: Temporary Placement of 10 Synthetic Cathinones Into Schedule I
The Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is issuing this final order to temporarily schedule 10 synthetic cathinones into schedule I pursuant to the temporary scheduling provisions of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The 10 substances are: 4-methyl-N-ethylcathinone (``4-MEC''); 4-methyl- alpha-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (``4-MePPP''); alpha- pyrrolidinopentiophenone (``[alpha]-PVP''); 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2- (methylamino)butan-1-one (``butylone''); 2-(methylamino)-1- phenylpentan-1-one (``pentedrone''); 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2- (methylamino)pentan-1-one (``pentylone''); 4-fluoro-N-methylcathinone (``4-FMC''); 3-fluoro-N-methylcathinone (``3-FMC''); 1-(naphthalen-2- yl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pentan-1-one (``naphyrone''); and alpha- pyrrolidinobutiophenone (``[alpha]-PBP''). This action is based on a finding by the Deputy Administrator that the placement of these synthetic cathinones and their optical, positional, and geometric isomers, salts and salts of isomers into schedule I of the CSA is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety. As a result of this order, the regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances will be imposed on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, import, export, engage in research, conduct instructional activities, and possess), or propose to handle these synthetic cathinones.

Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) of the U.S. Department of Justice proposes this rule to amend the regulation that implements the Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Act and associated statutes. Generally speaking, these laws provide financial support to certain public safety officers, or their survivors and families, when such officers die, or become permanently and totally disabled, as a result of line-of-duty injuries, or when they die of heart attacks or strokes sustained within statutorily-specified timeframes of engaging or participating in certain line-of-duty activity. The proposed rule would amend the implementing regulation in order to change the definition of ``Spouse.''
Authorization To Seize Property Involved in Drug Offenses for Administrative Forfeiture (2012R-9P)
The Department of Justice is amending its regulations to extend the trial period during which the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) may exercise, for an additional one-year period following the effective date of this rule, the authority under the United States Code to seize and administratively forfeit property involved in controlled substance offenses. The Attorney General has determined that the trial period that ends on February 25, 2014, should be extended for another year to give ATF more time to refine its processes, fully hire and train all necessary staff, and further demonstrate the effectiveness of the delegation in the investigation of violent crimes involving firearms.
