Universal Citation: 24 DE Admin Code 10.0

Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024

10.1 Notice. Prior to the adoption, amendment or repeal of any of these controlled substances regulations, the Secretary of State/Committee will give at least twenty (20) days notice of the intended action.

10.1.1 The notice will include a statement of either the terms of substance of the intended action or a description of the subjects and issues involved, or the time when, and the place where to present their views thereon.

10.1.2 The notice will be mailed to persons who have made timely request of the Office of Controlled Substances for advance notice of such rule-making proceedings and shall be published in two newspapers of general circulation in this State.

10.2 Hearing. The Secretary of State shall designate the Committee to preside over hearings. The Committee will afford all interested persons a reasonable opportunity to submit data, views or arguments, orally or in writing.

10.3 Emergency Regulations. If the Secretary of State, upon the recommendation of the Committee, finds that an imminent peril to the public health, safety or welfare requires adoption of a regulation upon fewer then twenty (20) days notice and states in writing the reasons for that finding, the Secretary of State may proceed without prior notice or hearing or upon any abbreviated notice and hearing the Secretary finds practicable, to adopt an emergency regulation. Such rules will be effective for a period not longer than 120 days, but the adoption of an identical rule under the procedures discussed above is not precluded.

10.3.1 Pursuant to 16 Del.C. § 4713 the Secretary of State finds that the synthetic opioid, 3, 4-dichloro-N-[2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl]-N-methylbenzamide (also known as U-47700) and it isomers, esters, ethers, salts and salts of isomers, esters and ethers, has high potential for abuse; has no accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or lacks accepted safety for use in treatment under medical supervision, and therefore:
10.3.1.1 The Secretary of State, as authorized by 16 Del.C. § 4713, does hereby add by rule 3,4-dichloro-N-[2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl]-N-methylbenzamide (also known as U-47700) and it isomers, esters, ethers, salts and salts of isomers, esters and ethers, in Schedule I of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, 16 Del.C. Ch. 47.

10.4 Finding and Availability. The Secretary of State will maintain on file any adoption, amendment or repeal of these regulations. In addition, copies of these regulations will be available for public inspection at the Office of Controlled Substances.
