- ------------------------------------------------------------
- SUMMARY: This notice establishes revised 1995 aggregate production
- quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and II of the
- Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
-
- DATES: This order is effective on July 5, 1995.
-
- FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Howard McClain, Jr., Chief,
- Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section, Drug Enforcement Administration,
- Washington, D.C. 20537, Telephone: (202) 307-7183.
-
- SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 306 of the CSA (21 U.S.C.
- 826) requires the Attorney General to establish aggregate production
- quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and II each
- year. This responsibility has been delegated to the Administrator
- of the DEA pursuant to Section 0.100 of Title 28 of the Code
- of Federal Regulations. The Administrator, in turn, has redelegated
- this function to the Deputy Administrator of the DEA pursuant
- to Section 0.104 of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
-
- On May 9, 1995, a notice of the proposed revised 1995 aggregate
- production quotas for controlled substances in Schedules I and
- II was published in the Federal Register (60 FR 24649). All
- interested parties were invited to comment on or object to these
- proposed aggregate production quotas on or before June 9, 1995.
- Several companies commented that the revised 1995 aggregate
- production quotas for amphetamine, diphenoxylate, fentanyl,
- hydrocodone, hydromorphone, methadone, methadone intermediate
- (for conversion), methylphenidate, morphine and oxycodone (for
- sale), were insufficient to provide for the estimated medical,
- scientific, research and industrial needs of the United States,
- for export requirements and for the establishment and maintenance
- of reserve stocks.
- The DEA has reviewed the involved companies' 1994 year-end
- inventories, their initial 1995 manufacturing quotas, 1995 export
- requirements and their actual and projected 1995 sales. Based
- on this data, the DEA has adjusted the revised 1995 aggregate
- production quotas for amphetamine, diphenoxylate, fentanyl,
- hydromorphone, methadone, methadone intermediate (for conversion),
- morphine and oxycodone (for sale) to meet the estimated medical,
- scientific, research and industrial needs of the United States.
- Regarding hydrocodone and methylphenidate, the DEA has decided
- that no adjustments are necessary to meet the 1995 estimated
- medical, scientific, research and industrial needs of the United
- States.
- The Office of Management and Budget has determined that notices
- of aggregate production quotas are not subject to centralized
- review under Executive Order 12866. This action has been analyzed
- in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in
- Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined that this
- matter does not have sufficient Federalism implications to warrant
- the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
- The Deputy Administrator hereby certifies that this action
- will have no significant impact upon small entities whose interests
- must be considered under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
- 601, et seq. The establishment of aggregate production quotas
- for Schedules I and II controlled substances is mandated by
- law and by international treaty obligations. While aggregate
- production quotas are of primary importance to large manufacturers,
- their
-
- ---- page 35051 ----
-
- impact upon small entities is neither negative nor beneficial.
- Accordingly, the Deputy Administrator has determined that this
- action does not required a regulatory flexibility analysis.
- Therefore, under the authority vested in the Attorney General
- by Section 306 of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (21
- U.S.C. 826), delegated to the Administrator by Section 0.100
- of Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and redelegated
- to the Deputy Administrator of the DEA by Section 0.104 of Title
- 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the Deputy Administrator
- hereby orders that the 1995 revised aggregate production quotas,
- expressed in grams of anhydrous acid or base, be established
- as follows:
