Solicitation of Information on the Use of Phenethylamine-Related Compounds
The DEA is soliciting information on substances that are related in chemical structure to phenethylamine (see supplementary information). The Controlled Substances Act (CSA), Title 21 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) Sec. 812(c) schedule I (Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Sec. 1308.11(d)), lists certain phenethylamines as schedule I controlled substances. Some phenethylamines that are not controlled under the CSA produce central nervous system effects that are similar to phenethylamines that are controlled under the CSA. DEA is requesting information to help determine the impact on business if these substances were to be placed under control in the CSA.
Schedules of Controlled Substances: Exempt Anabolic Steroid Products
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is finalizing an Interim Rule designating two pharmaceutical preparations as exempt anabolic steroid products under the Controlled Substances Act. This action is part of the ongoing implementation of the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990.
Assessment of Annual Needs for the List I Chemicals Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine for 2007: Proposed
This notice proposes initial year 2007 assessment of annual needs for certain List I chemicals in accordance with the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (CMEA), enacted on March 9, 2006. The Act required DEA to establish production quotas and import quotas for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. This effort was done in order to prevent the illicit use of these three chemicals in the clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine. The enactment of the CMEA places additional regulatory controls upon the manufacture, distribution, importation and exportation of the three List I chemicals.
Controlled Substances: Final Revised Aggregate Production Quotas for 2006
This notice establishes final 2006 aggregate production quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and II of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA). The DEA has taken into consideration comments received in response to a notice of the proposed revised aggregate production quotas for 2006 published July 5, 2006 (71 FR 38174).
Reexportation of Controlled Substances
The Controlled Substances Export Reform Act of 2005 amended the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act to provide authority for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to authorize the export of controlled substances from the United States to another country for subsequent export from that country to a second country, if certain conditions and safeguards are satisfied. DEA is hereby proposing to amend its regulations to implement the new legislation.
Control of Sodium Permanganate as a List II Chemical
On March 1, 2005, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (70 FR 9889) which proposed the addition of sodium permanganate as a List II chemical because of its direct substitutability for potassium permanganate (a List II chemical) in the illicit production of cocaine. This rulemaking finalizes control of sodium permanganate. As a List II chemical, handlers of sodium permanganate shall be subject to Controlled Substances Act (CSA) chemical regulatory controls including recordkeeping, reporting, and import/export requirements. DEA has determined that these controls are necessary to prevent the diversion of this chemical to cocaine laboratories. This rulemaking is also establishing a cumulative threshold of 55 kilograms and 500 kilograms (respectively) for domestic and international transactions. As such, all transactions which meet or exceed these quantities (in a calendar month) shall be considered regulated transactions, subject to recordkeeping, reporting and/or import/export notification requirements. Additionally, as a result of this rulemaking, chemical mixtures having greater than 15 percent sodium permanganate shall be subject to CSA chemical regulatory control provisions. All handlers of the List II chemical sodium permanganate shall also be subject to the applicable civil and criminal penalty provisions found in 21 U.S.C. 841, 842, 843, 959 and 960.
Technical Correction of Two Anabolic Steroid Names
The purpose of this final rule is to correct the chemical names of two anabolic steroids in the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) regulations. The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 included typographical errors in the chemical names of two anabolic steroids designated as Schedule III substances. Section 1180 of the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 corrects these typographical errors. This Final Rule amends DEA regulations to conform to the Act.
Authorized Sources of Narcotic Raw Materials
DEA proposes to amend its regulations to update the list of non-traditional countries authorized to export narcotic raw materials (NRM) to the United States. This change would replace Yugoslavia with Spain. This proposed rule seeks to maintain a consistent and reliable supply of narcotic raw materials from a limited number of countries consistent with United States obligations under international treaties and resolutions.
