DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Drug Enforcement Administration

 

Controlled Substances: Established 1994 Aggregate Production 
Quota

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Justice.

ACTION: Notice of established 1994 aggregate production quota.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice establishes a 1994 aggregate production quota for 
3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine, a substance in Schedule I of the 
Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

EFFECTIVE DATE: This order is effective upon September 20, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Howard McClain, Jr., Chief, Drug & Chemical Evaluation Section, Drug 
Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC 20537, telephone: (202) 307-
7183.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 306 of the Controlled Substances Act 
(21 U.S.C. 826) requires that the Attorney General establish aggregate 
production quotas for all controlled substances in Schedules I and II 
each year. This responsibility has been delegated to the Administrator 
of the DEA pursuant to Sec. 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).
    On July 19, 1994, a notice of the proposed 1994 aggregate 
production quota for 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine, a Schedule 
I controlled substance, was published in the Federal Register (59 FR 
36784). All interested persons were invited to comment on or object to 
this proposed aggregate production quota on or before August 18, 1994. 
No comments or objections were received.
    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 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.
    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 of the DEA by Sec. 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), the Deputy 
Administrator hereby orders that the 1994 aggregate production quota 
for the following controlled substance, expressed in grams of anhydrous 
base, be established as follows:

                                                             Established
                        Basic class                           1994 quota
                                                              (in grams)

    Dated: September 13, 1994.
Stephen H. Greene,
Deputy Administrator.
