                over-the-counter pseudoephedrine and 
                phenylpropanolamine (such as a threshold on ordinary, 
                over-the-counter pseudoephedrine and 
                phenylpropanolamine products) as the Attorney General

        less than 24 grams of ordinary, over-the-counter 
        pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine (as the case may be) for 
        retail distributors, if the Attorney General finds, in the 
        report under subsection (b), that--
                    (A) there is a significant number of instances (as 
                set forth in paragraph (3)(A) of such section 401(d) 
                for purposes of such section) where ordinary, over-the-

                products, or both such products that were purchased 
                from retail distributors were widely used in the 
                clandestine production of illicit drugs; and
                    (B) the best practical method of preventing such 
                use is the establishment of single-transaction limits 
                for retail distributors of either or both of such 
                products.

    (a) Amendments to Federal Sentencing Guidelines.--Pursuant to its 
authority under section 994(p) of title 28, United States Code, the 
United States Sentencing Commission shall amend the Federal sentencing 
guidelines in accordance with this section with respect to any 
violation of paragraph (1) or (2) of section 401(d) of the Controlled 
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841(d)) involving a list I chemical and any 
violation of paragraph (1) or (3) of section 1010(d) of the Controlled 
Substance Import and Export Act (21 U.S.C. 960(d)) involving a list I 
chemical.
    (b) Ephedrine, Phenylpropanolamine, and Pseudoephedrine.--
            (1) In general.--In carrying this section, the United 
        States Sentencing Commission shall, with respect to each 
        offense described in subsection (a) involving ephedrine, 
        phenylpropanolamine, or pseudoephedrine (including their salts, 
        optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers), review and 
        amend its guidelines to provide for increased penalties such 
        that those penalties corresponded to the quantity of controlled 
        substance that could reasonably have been manufactured using 
        the quantity of ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, or 
        pseudoephedrine possessed or distributed.
            (2) Conversion ratios.--For the purposes of the amendments 
        made by this subsection, the quantity of controlled substance 
        that could reasonably have been manufactured shall be 
        determined by using a table of manufacturing conversion ratios 
        for ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, and pseudoephedrine, which 
        table shall be established by the Sentencing Commission based 
        on scientific, law enforcement, and other data the Sentencing 
        Commission considers appropriate.
    (c) Other List I Chemicals.--In carrying this section, the United 
States Sentencing Commission shall, with respect to each offense 
described in subsection (a) involving any list I chemical other than 
ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, or pseudoephedrine, review and amend 
its guidelines to provide for increased penalties such that those 
penalties reflect the dangerous nature of such offenses, the need for 
aggressive law enforcement action to fight such offenses, and the 
extreme dangers associated with unlawful activity involving 
methamphetamine and amphetamine, including--
            (1) the rapidly growing incidence of controlled substance 
        manufacturing;
            (2) the extreme danger inherent in manufacturing controlled 
        substances;
            (3) the threat to public safety posed by manufacturing 
        controlled substances; and
            (4) the recent increase in the importation, possession, and 
        distribution of list I chemicals for the purpose of 
        manufacturing controlled substances.
    (d) Emergency Authority to Sentencing Commission.--The United 
States Sentencing Commission shall promulgate amendments pursuant to 
this section as soon as practicable after the date of the enactment of 
this Act in accordance with the procedure set forth in section 21(a) of 
the Sentencing Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-182), as though the 
authority under that Act had not expired.

        such criteria by additional periods of three years for each 
        extension if the Secretary determines that such extension is 
        appropriate for purposes of this item. Any such extension shall 
        go into effect only if the Secretary publishes a notice of such 
        extension in the Federal Register during the 30-day period 
        ending on the date of the end of the three-year effective 
        period of such criteria to which such extension will apply.

        subject of an adverse determination. For purposes of this 
        clause, an adverse determination is a determination published 
        in the Federal Register and made by the Secretary, after 
        consultation with the Attorney General, that experience since 
        the approval of the drug or combinations of drugs has shown 
        that the use of the drugs or combinations of drugs for 
        maintenance or detoxification treatment requires additional 
        standards respecting the qualifications of physicians to 
        provide such treatment, or requires standards respecting the 
        quantities of the drugs that may be provided for unsupervised 
        use.

physician is not in effect unless (in addition to conditions under

        other physicians pursuant to subsection (f).

        subparagraph (B), subparagraph (C), or this subparagraph, have 
        not been met.

information contained in notifications under subparagraph (B) as the 
Attorney General may request.

prescribes narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, or V, or combinations of 
such drugs, for maintenance treatment or detoxification treatment, the 
Attorney General may, for purposes of section 304(a)(4), consider the 
physician to have committed an act that renders the registration of the 
physician pursuant to subsection (f) to be inconsistent with the public 
interest.

specified in subparagraph (B), the Secretary shall notify the physician 
and the Attorney General.

clause (i), the Attorney General shall assign the physician an 
identification number under this paragraph for inclusion with the 
physician's current registration to prescribe narcotics. An

appropriate to preserve the confidentiality of a patient prescribed 
narcotic drugs covered by this paragraph by the physician.

clause (i) by the end of the 45-day period beginning on the date of the 
receipt by the Secretary of a notification from a physician under

SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) there is substantial evidence that mandatory minimum 
        sentences disproportionately affect people of color and 
        especially African-Americans;
            (2) the use of mandatory minimum sentences has torn apart 
        African-American families and taken a horrible toll on the 
        African-American community;
            (3) from 1980 to 1992, the height of the so-called ``War on 
        Drugs,'' the rate of incarceration in prisons rose from 139 to 
        332 per 100,000 residents and 84 percent of the increase in 
        State prison admissions was for nonviolent offenders;
            (4) if incarceration rates remain unchanged, Justice
