SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 13, 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration published
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (88 FR
86278) to place two phenethylamine hallucinogen substances in schedule
I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 801, et seq.).
Specifically, in this NPRM, DEA proposed to schedule the following two
controlled substances in schedule I of the CSA, including their salts,
isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts,
isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical
designation:
2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI), and
2,5-dimethoxy-4-chloroamphetamine (DOC).
Pursuant to that notice provided in the NPRM, three (3) requests
for hearing
[[Page 24751]]
were filed with DEA. Upon review of the requests for hearings, I have
authorized a hearing, and direct the Chief Administrative Law Judge to
assign the matter to an Administrative Law Judge who will complete all
prehearing procedures, conduct a due process hearing in accordance with
the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551-559), the CSA (21 U.S.C.
811, et seq.), and the DEA regulations, and issue a recommended
decision for the Agency's review and action.
Hearing Notification
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 811(a), 21 CFR 1308.44, and 21 CFR 1316.47,
DEA is convening a hearing on the NPRM. Accordingly, the hearing will
commence on June 10, 2024, at 9 a.m. ET at the DEA Hearing Facility,
700 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA 22202. The hearing may be moved to a
different place and may be continued from day to day or recessed to a
later date without notice other than announcement thereof by the
Administrative Law Judge at the hearing. 21 CFR 1316.53.
