DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Drug Enforcement Administration Controlled Substances: Established 1994 Aggregate Production Quota AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration, DOJ. ACTION: Notice of established 1994 aggregate production quotas. + ------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY: This notice establishes 1994 aggregate production quotas for controlled substances in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. DATE: This order is effective January 3, 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 (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826) requires that the Attorney General establish aggregate production quotas for all controlled substances in Schedule 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. On October 8, 1993, a notice of the proposed 1994 aggregate production quotas for certain Schedule I controlled substances was published in the Federal Register (58 FR 52510). All interested persons were invited to comment on or object to these proposed aggregate production quotas on or before November 8, 1993. No comments or objections were received. This notice is not a significant regulatory action and therefore has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget pursuant to Executive Order 12866. This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in the 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 Administrator hereby certifies that this matter will have no significant impact upon small entities within the meaning of and intent of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The establishment of annual production quotas for Schedules I and II controlled substances is mandated by law and by the international commitments of the United States. Such quotas impact predominantly upon major manufacturers of the affected controlled substances. Therefore, under the authority vested in the Attorney General by section 306 of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (21 U.S.C. 826) and delegated to the Administrator by sec 0.100 of title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the Administrator of the DEA hereby establishes the 1994 aggregate production quotas for the following controlled substances, expressed in grams of anhydrous base, be established as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------+----------------- | Established Basic class | 1994 quotas | (in grams) ------------------------------------------------------------+----------------- | 4-Methoxyamphetamine ...................................... | 10 3-Methylfentanyl .......................................... | 10 Cathinone ................................................. | 2 ------------------------------------------------------------+----------------- Dated: December 22, 1993. Stephen H. Greene, Acting Administrator of Drug Enforcement.
