DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Drug Enforcement Administration

21 CFR Part 1308

 

Exempt Chemical Preparations

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Justice.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The interim rule (59 FR 15052, March 31, 1994) which 
identified certain products containing controlled substances as being 
exempt chemical preparations under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) 
(21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) is adopted without change.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 20, 1994.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office 
of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), published 
as an interim rule, a list of products containing controlled substances 
which he finds to qualify as exempt chemical preparations (59 FR 15052, 
March 31, 1994). A 30 day comment period was provided. No comments were 
received, therefore, the interim rule is adopted without change.
    The listing of products as exempt chemical preparations in 21 CFR 
1308.24 relieves persons who handle them from the registration, 
recordkeeping, security, and other requirements imposed by the CSA. The 
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, certifies 
that these matters will have no significant impact upon small 
businesses to compete and he therefore determines that no regulatory 
flexibility analysis is required.
    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 
require the preparation of Federalism Assessment.
    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined that 
listings of exempt chemical preparations are exempt from centralized 
review under Executive Order 12866.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 1308

    Administrative practice and procedure, Drug traffic control, 
Narcotics, Prescription drugs.

    Under the authority vested in the Attorney General by section 
202(d) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 811(g)(3)(B) and delegated to the 
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration by regulations of 
the Department of Justice (28 CFR 0.100), and redelegated to the Deputy 
Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement 
Administration, the Deputy Assistant Administrator hereby adopts as a 
final rule, without change, the interim rule amending 21 CFR 1308.24 
which was published at 59 FR 15052 on March 31, 1994.

    Dated: September 16, 1994.
Gene R. Haislip,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
