Controlled Substances and Assessment of Annual Needs for the List I 
Chemicals Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine for 2018

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice 
(DOJ).

ACTION: Final order.

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

SUMMARY: This final order establishes the final adjusted 2018 aggregate 
production quotas for controlled substances in schedules I and II of 
the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and the assessment of annual needs 
for the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and 
phenylpropanolamine.

DATES: This order is effective December 10, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Regulatory Drafting and Policy Support 
Section (DPW), Diversion Control Division, Drug Enforcement 
Administration, 8701 Morrissette Drive, Springfield, VA 22152, 
Telephone: (202) 598-6812.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Legal Authority

    Section 306 of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826) 
requires the Attorney General to establish aggregate production quotas 
for each basic class of controlled substances listed in schedules I and 
II and for the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and 
phenylpropanolamine. The Attorney General has delegated this function 
to the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) 
pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100.

Background

    The DEA published the 2018 established aggregate production quotas 
for controlled substances in schedules I and II and the assessment of 
annual needs for the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and 
phenylpropanolamine in the Federal Register on November 8, 2017. 82 FR 
51873. The DEA is committed to preventing and limiting diversion by 
enforcing laws and regulations regarding controlled substances and the 
list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, 
in order to meet the demand of legitimate medical, scientific, and 
export needs of the United States. This notice stated that the 
Administrator would adjust, as needed, the established aggregate 
production quotas in 2018 in accordance with 21 CFR 1303.13 and 21 CFR 
1315.13. The 2018 proposed adjusted aggregate production quotas for 
controlled substances in schedules I and II and assessment of annual 
needs for the list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and 
phenylpropanolamine were subsequently published in the Federal Register 
on August 23, 2018, (83 FR 42690) in consideration of the outlined 
criteria. All interested persons were invited to comment on or object 
to the proposed adjusted aggregate production quotas and assessment of 
annual needs on or before September 24, 2018.

Comments Received

    The DEA received 526 comments from doctors, nurses, veterinarians, 
nonprofit organizations, associations, patients, caregivers, DEA-
registered entities, and non-DEA entities. The comments included 
concerns about drug shortages, interference with doctor-patient 
relationships, increase in the production of marihuana, requests for a 
hearing, requests for increases in specific production quotas, and 
comments that were outside the scope of this final order.
    There were 200 commenters that expressed general concerns about the 
decrease to the production quotas of controlled substances and 
shortages of controlled substances. There were 27 commenters that 
expressed general concerns alleging that decreases to the aggregate 
production quotas interfered with doctor-patient relationships. The DEA 
sets aggregate production quotas in a manner to ensure that the 
estimated medical needs of the United States are met. In determining 
the aggregate production quota, the DEA does take into account the 
prescriptions that have been issued. The DEA does not interfere with 
doctor-patient relationships. Doctors who are authorized to dispense 
controlled substances are responsible for adhering to the laws and 
regulations set forth under the CSA, which requires doctors to only 
write prescriptions for a legitimate medical need. The DEA is 
responsible for enforcing controlled substance laws and regulations. 
The DEA is committed to ensuring an adequate and uninterrupted supply 
of controlled substances in order to meet the demand of legitimate 
medical, scientific, and export needs of the United States. The 
decrease or increase in the aggregate production quota for controlled 
substances is based on factors set forth in 21 CFR 1303.13. In the 
event of a shortage, the CSA provides a mechanism under which the DEA 
will, in appropriate circumstances, increase quotas to address 
shortages. 21 U.S.C. 826(h). When DEA is notified of an alleged 
shortage, DEA will confer with the FDA and relevant manufacturers 
regarding the amount of material in physical inventory, current quota 
granted, and the estimated legitimate medical need, to determine 
whether a quota adjustment is necessary to alleviate any factually 
valid shortage.
    Four non-DEA registered entities expressed support to increase the 
production quota of marihuana for research purposes. The DEA increased 
the production quota for marihuana based solely on increased usage 
projections for federally approved research projects.
    Two non-DEA-registered individuals urged DEA to hold a public 
hearing in connection with their view that reducing quotas will not be 
effective in

[[Page 63534]]

preventing the deaths and other harms associated with the opioid crisis 
in the United States. One of these individuals stated that the purpose 
of the hearing would be to obtain input from various medical 
professionals and patients. The second commenter expressed his view 
that reduction in quotas could lead to the under treatment of pain. 
Under the DEA regulations, the decision of whether to grant a hearing 
on the issues raised by the comments lies solely within the discretion 
of the Administrator. 21 CFR 1303.11(c) and 1303.13(c). I find that 
neither of the foregoing two comments, or any of the other comments, 
presented any evidence that would lead me to conclude that a hearing is 
necessary or warranted. Therefore, I decline to order a hearing on the 
issues presented by the comments.
    Five DEA-registered entities submitted comments regarding a total 
of 30 schedule I and II controlled substances. Comments received 
proposed that the aggregate production quotas for 3-methylfentanyl, 4-
ANPP, acetyl fentanyl, acryl fentanyl, beta-hydroxythiofentanyl, 
butyryl fentanyl, carfentanil, cyclopentyl fentanyl, cyclopropyl 
fentanyl, d-amphetamine (for conversion), diphenoxylate (for sale), 
fentanyl, fentanyl related substances, furanyl fentanyl, isobutyryl 
fentanyl, levorphanol, meperidine, methoxyacetyl fentanyl, 
noroxymorphone (for conversion), ocfentanil, oripavine, oxymorphone 
(for conversion), para-chloroisobutyryl fentanyl, para-fluorofentanyl, 
para-fluorobutyryl fentanyl, para-methyoxybutyryl fentanyl, 
remifentanil, tetrahydrofuranyl fentanyl, U-47700, and valeryl fentanyl 
were insufficient to provide for the estimated medical, scientific, 
research, and industrial needs of the United States, for export 
requirements, and for the establishment and maintenance of reserve 
stocks.
    The DEA received 288 comments which addressed issues that are 
outside the scope of this final order. The comments were general in 
nature and raised issues of specific medical illnesses, medical 
treatments, and medication costs and therefore, are outside of the 
scope of this Final Order for 2018 and do not impact the original 
analysis involved in finalizing the 2018 aggregate production quotas.
    The DEA received no comments from DEA-registered or non-DEA 
registered entities for previously established values of the 2018 
assessment of annual needs for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and 
phenylpropanolamine.

Analysis for Final Adjusted 2018 Aggregate Production Quotas and 
Assessment of Annual Needs

    In determining the final adjusted 2018 aggregate production quotas 
and assessment of annual needs, the DEA has taken into consideration 
the above comments that are specifically relevant to this Final Order 
for calendar year 2018 along with the factors set forth in 21 CFR 
1303.13 and 21 CFR 1315.13 in accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826(a), and 
other relevant factors including the 2017 year-end inventories, initial 
2018 manufacturing and import quotas, 2018 export requirements, actual 
and projected 2018 sales, research and product development 
requirements, additional applications received, and the extent of any 
diversion of the controlled substance in the class. Based on all of the 
above, the Administrator is adjusting the 2018 aggregate production 
quotas for the following: Lower for codeine (for sale), hydrocodone 
(for sale), morphine (for sale), and oxycodone (for sale) based on the 
data received since the publication of the 2018 Proposed Revised 
Aggregate Production Quotas and Assessment of Annual Needs in the 
Federal Register on August 23, 2018, (83 FR 42690); higher for 
cyclopentyl fentanyl, fentanyl related substances, methoxyacetyl 
fentanyl, para-chloroisobutyryl fentanyl, and para-methyoxybutyryl 
fentanyl due to the publication of their schedule I temporary 
controlled status; higher for noroxymorphone (for conversion) and 
oripavine based on their involvement in the synthesis pathway to 
produce the FDA approved drugs used in the medically assisted treatment 
of opioid addiction. This final order reflects those adjustments.
    Regarding 3-methyl fentanyl, 4-ANPP, acetyl fentanyl, acryl 
fentanyl, beta-hydroxythiofentanyl, butyryl fentanyl, carfentanil, 
cyclopropyl fentanyl, d-amphetamine (for conversion), diphenoxylate 
(for sale), fentanyl, furanyl fentanyl, isobutyryl fentanyl, 
levorphanol, meperidine, ocfentanil, oxymorphone (for conversion), 
para-fluorofentanyl, para-fluorobutyryl fentanyl, remifentanil, 
tetrahydrofuranyl fentanyl, U-47700, and valeryl fentanyl, the 
Administrator hereby determines that the proposed adjusted 2018 
aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs for these 
substances and list I chemicals as published on August 23, 2018, (83 FR 
42690) are sufficient to meet the current 2018 estimated medical, 
scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States and to 
provide for adequate reserve stock. This final order establishes these 
aggregate production quotas at the same amounts as proposed.
    Pursuant to the above, the Administrator hereby finalizes the 2018 
aggregate production quotas for the following schedule I and II 
controlled substances and the 2018 assessment of annual needs for the 
list I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, 
expressed in grams of anhydrous acid or base, as follows:
