[Docket No. DEA-257C]
RIN 1117-AA93


Changes in the Regulation of Iodine Crystals and Chemical 
Mixtures Containing Over 2.2 Percent Iodine; Correction

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Justice

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On July 2, 2007, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) 
published a final rule in the Federal Register changing the regulation 
of iodine under the Controlled Substances Act. Several amendatory 
instructions amending the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to 
implement this rulemaking were published in error. This correction 
corrects those errors.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This correction is effective July 24, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine A. Sannerud, PhD, Chief, 
Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC 20537 at (202) 307-7183.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 2, 2007, the Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) published a Final Rule in the Federal Register (72 
FR 35920) changing the regulation of iodine under the Controlled 
Substances Act. As part of that rulemaking, several sections in Part 
1310 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) were amended. 
However, DEA previously published several documents in the Federal 
Register adding similarly designated paragraphs. Thus, the final rule 
regarding the regulation of iodine published July 2, 2007 at 72 FR 
35920 inadvertently removed those previous amendments. Therefore, this 
document corrects the amendments to the affected CFR sections to 
correctly designate paragraphs, thus reflecting all amendments to Part 
1310 of Title 21 of the CFR.

Accordingly, the final rule published July 2, 2007, at 72 FR 35920 (FR 
Doc. E7-12736) is corrected as follows:

    (i) Each person required by section 302 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 822) 
to obtain a registration to manufacture, distribute, import, or export 
regulated iodine, including regulated iodine chemical mixtures pursuant 
to Sec. Sec.  1310.12 and 1310.13, is temporarily exempted from the 
registration requirement, provided that the Administration receives a 
proper application for registration or application for exemption for a 
chemical mixture containing iodine on or before August 31, 2007. The 
exemption will remain in effect for each person who has made such 
application until the Administration has approved or denied that 
application. This exemption applies only to registration; all other 
chemical control requirements set forth in the Act and parts 1309, 
1310, and 1313 of this chapter remain in full force and effect. Any 
person who distributes, imports, or exports a chemical mixture 
containing iodine whose application for exemption is subsequently 
denied by the Administration must obtain a registration with the 
Administration. A temporary exemption from the registration requirement 
will also be provided for these persons, provided that the 
Administration receives a properly completed application for 
registration on or before 30 days following the date of official 
Administration notification that the application for exemption has not 
been approved. The temporary exemption for such persons will remain in 
effect until the Administration takes final action on their 
registration application.
