Schedules of Controlled Substances: Placement of 5F-EDMB-PINACA, 5F-MDMB-PICA, FUB-AKB48, 5F-CUMYL-PINACA and FUB-144 in Schedule I
Document Number: 2021-06553
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-03-30
Agency: Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Justice
The Drug Enforcement Administration proposes placing ethyl 2- (1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamido)-3,3-dimethylbu tanoate (trivial name: 5F-EDMB-PINACA); methyl 2-(1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indole- 3-carboxamido)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate (trivial name: 5F-MDMB-PICA); N- (adamantan-1-yl)-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (trivial names: FUB-AKB48; FUB-APINACA; AKB48 N-(4-fluorobenzyl)); 1-(5- fluoropentyl)-N-(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)-1H-indazole-3-carboxami de (trivial names: 5F-CUMYL-PINACA; SGT-25); and (1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H- indol-3-yl)(2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanone (trivial name: FUB-144), including their salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible, in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. If finalized, this action would make permanent the existing regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, import, export, engage in research, conduct instructional activities or chemical analysis with, or possess) or propose to handle 5F-EDMB- PINACA, 5F-MDMB-PICA, FUB-AKB48, 5F-CUMYL-PINACA and FUB-144.
Designation of Methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate, a Precursor Chemical Used in the Illicit Manufacture of Phenylacetone, Methamphetamine, and Amphetamine, as a List I Chemical
Document Number: 2021-05346
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2021-03-30
Agency: Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Justice
The Drug Enforcement Administration is proposing the control of the chemical methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate (also known as MAPA; methyl 3-oxo-2-phenylbutanoate; methyl 2-phenylacetoacetate; [alpha]- acetyl-benzeneacetic acid, methyl ester; and CAS Number: 16648-44-5) and its optical isomers as a list I chemical under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate is used in clandestine laboratories to illicitly manufacture the schedule II controlled substances phenylacetone (also known as phenyl-2-propanone or P2P), methamphetamine, and amphetamine and is important to the manufacture of these controlled substances. If finalized, this action would subject handlers of methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate to the chemical regulatory provisions of the CSA and its implementing regulations. This rulemaking does not establish a threshold for domestic and international transactions of methyl alpha- phenylacetoacetate. As such, all transactions of chemical mixtures containing methyl alpha-phenylacetoacetate would be regulated at any concentration and would be subject to control under the CSA.
