- SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 306 of the Controlled Substances
- Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826) requires that the Attorney General
- 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 pursuant to 59 FR 23637 (May 6,
- 1994).
- A company submitted an application for a manufacturing quota
- for hydrocodone (for conversion) a Schedule II controlled substance.
- Based on the review of this application and other information
- available to the DEA, the Deputy Administrator of the DEA, 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
- pursuant to 59 FR 23637 (May 6, 1994), hereby proposes that
- the 1995 aggregate production quota for the following controlled
- substance, expressed in grams of anhydrous base, be established
- as follows:
-
-
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------+---------------
- | Proposed
- | 1995
- Basic class | aggregate
- | production
- | quota
- | (grams)
- --------------------------------------------------------------+---------------
- |
- Hydrocodone (for conversion)................................. | 2,200,000
- --------------------------------------------------------------+---------------

- All interested persons are invited to submit comments or
- objections, in writing, regarding this proposal. If a person
- believes that one or more of these issues warrant a hearing,
- the individual should so state and summarize the reasons for
- this belief.
- In the event that comments or objections to this proposal
- raise one or more issues which the Administrator finds warrant
- a hearing, the Administrator shall order a public hearing by
- notice in the Federal Register, summarizing the issues to be
- heard and setting the time for the hearing.
- 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 the 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 within the
- meaning of and intent of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.,
- 601, et seq. The establishment of annual 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 impact upon small entities is neither negative nor beneficial.
- Accordingly, the Deputy Administrator has determined that this
- action does not require a regulatory flexibility analysis.
