DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Drug Enforcement Administration 

Serge V. Verne, D.D.S. Revocation of 

Registration 

On October 30, 2003, the Deputy 

Assistant Administrator, Office of 

Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement 

Administration (DEA), issued an Order 

to Show Cause to Serge V. Verne, D.D.S. 

(Dr. Verne) at his registered location in 

San Diego, California, with a second 

copy sent to a location in Rancho Santa 

Fe, California. Dr. Verne was notified of 

an opportunity to show cause as to why 

DEA should not revoke his DEA 

Certificate of Registration, BV2328830, 

under 21 U.S.C. 824(a), and deny any 

pending applications for renewal or 

modification of that registration. 

Specifically, the Order to Show Cause 

alleged that Dr. Verne was without state 

license to handle controlled substances 

in the State of California. The Order to 

Show Cause also notified Dr. Verne that 

should no request for a hearing be filed 

within 30 days, his hearing right would 

be deemed waived. 

As alluded to above, copies of the 

Order to Show Cause were sent by 

certified mail to Dr. Verne at two 

separate locations. According to the 

investigative file, the copy sent to the 

San Diego location was returned to DEA 

unclaimed, however, the second show 

cause order sent to the Rancho Santa Fe 

location was accepted on Dr. Verne’s 

behalf on November 19, 2003. DEA has 

not received a request for hearing or any 

other reply from Dr. Verne or anyone 

purporting to represent him in this 

matter. 

Therefore, the Deputy Administrator, 

finding that (1) 30 days have passed 

since the receipt of the Order to Show 

Cause, and (2) no request for a hearing 

having been received, concludes that Dr. 

Verne is deemed to have waived his 

hearing right. After considering material 

from the investigative file in this matter, 

the Deputy Administrator now enters 

her final order without a hearing 

pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43(d) and (e) 

and 1301.46. 

The Deputy Administrator finds that 

Dr. Verne is currently registered with 

DEA as a practitioner authorized to 

handle controlled substances in 

Schedules II through V. According to 

information in the investigative file, 

effective May 8, 2003, the Dental Board 

of California (Dental Board) ordered the 

revocation of Dr. Verne’s license to 

practice dentistry in that state. The 

Dental Board’s action was based in part 

upon findings that Dr. Verne provided 

false and misleading information 

regarding his continuing education, and 

his use of fraud in the procurement of 

his dental license and general 

anesthesia permit. There is no evidence 

before the Deputy Administrator to 

rebut findings that Dr. Verne’s 

California dental license has been 

revoked and has not been reinstated. 

Therefore, the Deputy Administrator 

finds that since Dr. Verne is not 

currently authorized to practice 

dentistry in California, it is reasonable 

to infer that he is not authorized to 

handle controlled substances in that 

state. 

DEA does not have statutory authority 

under the Controlled Substances Act to 

issue or maintain a registration if the 

applicant or registrant is without state 

authority to handle controlled 

substances in the state in which he 

conducts business. See 21 U.S.C. 

802(21), 823(f) and 824(a)(3). This 

prerequisite has been consistently 

upheld. See Richard J. Clement, M.D., 

68 FR 12,103 (2003); Dominick A. Ricci, 

M.D., 58 FR 51,104 (1993); Bobby Watts, 

M.D., 53 FR 11,919 (1988). 

Here, it is clear that Dr. Verne is not 

licensed to handle controlled substances 

in California, where he is registered 

with DEA. Therefore, he is not entitled 

to maintain that registration. 

Accordingly, the Deputy 

Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 

Administration, pursuant to the 

authority vested in her by 21 U.S.C. 823 

and 824 and 28 CFR 0.100(b) and 0.104, 

hereby orders that DEA Certificate of 

Registration, BV2328830, issued to 

Serge V. Verne, D.D.S., be, and it hereby 

is, revoked. The Deputy Administrator 

further orders that any pending 

applications for renewal or modification 

of the aforementioned registration be, 

and hereby are, denied. This order is 

effective November 22, 2004.

Dated: October 5, 2004. 

Michele M. Leonhart, 

Deputy Administrator.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards 

Administration; Wage and Hour 

Division 

Minimum Wages for Federal and 

Federally Assisted Construction; 

General Wage Determination Decisions 

General wage determination decisions 

of the Secretary of Labor are issued in 

accordance with applicable law and are 

based on the information obtained by 

the Department of Labor from its study 

of local wage conditions and data made 

available from other sources. They 

specify the basic hourly wage rates and 

fringe benefits which are determined to 

be prevailing for the described classes of 

laborers and mechanics employed on 

construction projects of a similar 

character and in the localities specified 

therein. 

The determinations in these decisions 

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits 

have been made in accordance with 29 

CFR Part 1, by authority of the Secretary 

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of 

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931, 

as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended, 

40 U.S.C. 276(a) and of other Federal 

statutes referred to in 29 CFR Part 1, 

Appendix, as well as such additional 

statutes as may from time to time be 

enacted containing provisions for the 

payment of wages determined to be 

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in 

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act. 

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits 

determined in these decisions shall, in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

foregoing statutes, constitute the 

minimum wages payable on Federal and 

federally assisted construction projects 

to laborers and mechanics of the 

specified classes engaged on contract 

work of the character and in the 

localities described therein. 

Good cause is hereby found for not 

utilizing notice and public comment 

procedure thereon prior to the issuance 

of these determinations as prescribed in 

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay 

in the effective date as prescribed in that 

section, because the necessity to issue 

current construction industry wage 

determinations frequently and in large 

volume causes procedures to be 

impractical and contrary to the public 

interest. 

General wage determination 

decisions, and modifications and 

supersedes decisions thereto, contain no 

expiration dates and are effective from 

their date of notice in the Federal 

Register, or on the date written notice 

is received by the agency, whichever is 

earlier. These decisions are to be used 

in accordance with the provisions of 29 

CFR Parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the 

applicable decision, together with any 

modifications issued, must be made a 

part of every contract for performance of 

the described work within the 

geographic area indicated as required by 

an applicable Federal prevailing wage 

law and 29 CFR Part 5. The wage rates 

and fringe benefits, notice of which is 

published herein, and which are 

contained in the Government Printing 

Office (GPO) document entitled 

‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued 

Under The Davis-Bacon And Related 

Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by 

contractors and subcontractors to 

laborers and mechanics. 

Any person, organization, or 

governmental agency having an interest 

in the rates determined as prevailing is 

encouraged to submit wage rate and 

fringe benefit information for 

consideration by the Department. 

Further information and selfexplanatory forms for the purpose of 

submitting this data may be obtained by 

writing to the U.S. Department of Labor,
