``(1) The Attorney General may issue a temporary order
adding a drug or other substance to the definition of anabolic
steroids if the Attorney General finds that--
``(A) the drug or other substance satisfies the
criteria for being considered an anabolic steroid under
section 102(41) but is not listed in that section or by
regulation of the Attorney General as being an anabolic
steroid; and
``(B) adding such drug or other substance to the
definition of anabolic steroids will assist in
preventing abuse or misuse of the drug or other
substance.
``(2) An order issued under paragraph (1) shall not take

Attorney General of a notice in the Federal Register of the
intention to issue such order and the grounds upon which such

order adding a drug or other substance to the definition of

the issuance of the temporary order issued under paragraph
(1).''.
SEC. 3. LABELING REQUIREMENTS.
(a) In General.--Section 305 of the Controlled Substances Act (21
U.S.C. 825) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(e) False Labeling of Anabolic Steroids.--
``(1) It shall be unlawful to import, export, manufacture,
distribute, dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture,
distribute, or dispense, an anabolic steroid or product
containing an anabolic steroid, unless the steroid or product
bears a label clearly identifying an anabolic steroid or
product containing an anabolic steroid by the nomenclature used
by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC).
``(2)(A) A product described in subparagraph (B) is exempt
from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
nomenclature requirement of this subsection if such product is
labeled in the manner required under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act.
``(B) A product is described in this subparagraph if the
product--
``(i) is the subject of an approved application as
described in section 505(b) or (j) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act; or
``(ii) is exempt from the provisions of section 505
of such Act relating to new drugs because--
``(I) it is intended solely for
investigational use as described in section
505(i) of such Act; and
``(II) such product is being used
exclusively for purposes of a clinical trial
that is the subject of an effective
investigational new drug application.''.
(b) Clarification to Import and Export Statute.--Section 1010 of
the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act (21 U.S.C. 960) is
amended, in subsection (a)(1), by inserting ``305,'' before ``1002''.

(21 U.S.C. 842) is amended--
(1) in subsection (a)--
(A) in paragraph (14), by striking ``or'' at the
end;
(B) in paragraph (15), by striking the period at
the end and inserting ``; or''; and
(C) by inserting, after paragraph (15), the
following:
``(16) to violate subsection (e) of section 825 of this
title.''; and
(2) in subsection (c)(1)--
(A) by inserting, in subparagraph (A), after
``subparagraph (B)'' the following: ``, (C), or (D)'';
and
(B) by inserting after subparagraph (B) the
following:
``(C) In the case of a violation of paragraph (16) of subsection
(a) of this section by an importer, exporter, manufacturer, or
distributor (other than as provided in subparagraph (D)), up to
$500,000 per violation. For purposes of this subparagraph, a violation
is defined as each instance of importation, exportation, manufacturing,
distribution, or possession with intent to manufacture or distribute,
in violation of paragraph (16) of subsection (a).
``(D) In the case of a distribution, dispensing, or possession with
intent to distribute or dispense in violation of paragraph (16) of
subsection (a) of this section at the retail level, up to $1000 per
violation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term `at the retail
level' refers to products sold, or held for sale, directly to the
consumer for personal use. Each package, container or other separate
unit containing an anabolic steroid that is distributed, dispensed, or
possessed with intent to distribute or dispense at the retail level in
violation of such paragraph (16) of subsection (a) shall be considered
a separate violation.''.
SEC. 4. IDENTIFICATION AND PUBLICATION OF LIST OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING
ANABOLIC STEROIDS.
(a) In General.--The Attorney General may, in the Attorney
General's discretion, collect data and analyze products to determine
whether they contain anabolic steroids and are properly labeled in
accordance with this Act and the amendments made by this Act. The
Attorney General may publish in the Federal Register or on the website
of the Drug Enforcement Administration a list of products which the
Attorney General has determined, based on substantial evidence, contain
an anabolic steroid and are not labeled in accordance with this Act and
the amendments made by this Act.
(b) Absence From List.--The absence of a product from the list
referred to in subsection (a) shall not constitute evidence that the
product does not contain an anabolic steroid.
