**Schedules of Controlled Substances: Placement of 5-Methoxy-N,N**  **Dimethyltryptamine into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act** 

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

**ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  With the issuance of this final rule, the Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration(DEA) places the substance 5-methoxyN,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), including its salts, isomers and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible, into schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). This action by the DEA Deputy Administrator is based on a scheduling recommendation from the Assistant Secretary for Health of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and a DEA review indicating that 5- MeO-DMT meets the criteria for placement in schedule I of the CSA. This final rule will impose the criminal sanctions and regulatory controls of schedule I substances under the CSA on the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, importation, exportation, and possession of 5-MeO-DMT.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

In accordance with 21 U.S.C. 811(b) of the CSA, DEA gathered and reviewed the available information regarding the pharmacology, chemistry, trafficking, actual abuse, pattern of abuse, and the relative potential for abuse of 5- methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5- MeO-DMT). On February 21, 2007, the Deputy Administrator of the DEA submitted these data to the Assistant Secretary for Health, Department of Health and Human Services. In accordance with 21 U.S.C. 811(b), the Deputy Administrator also requested a scientific and medical evaluation and ascheduling recommendation for 5-MeOVerDate Mar<15>2010 19:04 Dec 17, 2010 Jkt 223001 PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\20DER1.SGM 20DER1jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES

DMT from the Assistant Secretary for Health.

5-MeO-DMT is related to the scheduleI hallucinogens N,Ndimethyltryptamine (DMT), 2,5- dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and mescaline in its pharmacological properties and hallucinogenic effects. In animal drug discrimination studies, DOM, LSD,mescaline, DMT, and alphamethyltryptamine (AMT) fully substitute for the discriminative stimulus cue of 5-MeO-DMT. In in vitro receptor binding studies, 5-MeO-DMT, similar to DMT and other schedule I hallucinogens, binds to central serotonin 2 (5-HT 2 ) receptors. Anecdotal reports from humans who have used 5- MeO-DMT describe hallucinogenic effects similar to those produced by DMT. 5-MeO-DMT, however, is reported to be 4 to 5-fold more potent than DMT when administered by inhalation, sublingual or oral (if encapsulated) routes of administration.

Evidence of 5-MeO-DMT trafficking was first reported in 1999 by Federal law enforcement officials. Though 5- MeO-DMT is likely to be underreported because it is not a controlled substance, from January 1999 to December 2009, law enforcement officials encountered 23 cases involving 35 drug exhibits pertaining to the trafficking, distribution and abuse of 5-MeO-DMT, according to the System to Retrieve Information from Drug Evidence (STRIDE), a Federal database of drug exhibits analyzed by DEA laboratories. The drug exhibits analyzed by DEA laboratories comprised 89 grams of powder and 10 milliliters of liquid containing 5-MeO-DMT. From January 2004 to December 2009, the National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS), a database of drug analyses conducted by State and local forensic laboratories, reported 27 State and local drug cases involving 32 drug exhibits identified as 5-MeO-DMT.

The risks to the public healthassociated with the abuse of 5-MeODMT are similar to the risks associated with those of schedule I hallucinogens. There have been reports of emergency room admissions and a death associatedwith the abuse of 5-MeO-DMT. 5-MeODMT has never been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing as a human drug product in the United States and there are norecognized therapeutic uses of 5-MeODMT in the United States. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

On December 18, 2008, the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), sent the Deputy Administrator of the DEA a scientific and medical evaluation and a letter recommending that 5-MeO-DMT and its salts be placed into schedule I of the CSA. Enclosed with the letter was a document prepared by FDA entitled,

‘‘Basis for the Recommendation To Control 5-Methoxy-Dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. ’’ The document contained a review of the factors which the CSA requires the Secretary to consider (21 U.S.C. 811(b)).

After a review of the available data, including the scientific and medical evaluation and the scheduling recommendation from DHHS, the Deputy Administrator of the DEA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking entitled ‘‘ Schedules of Controlled Substances: Placement of 5- Methoxy-Dimethyltryptamine into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act’’ on August 21, 2009 (74 FR 42217),which proposed placement of 5-MeODMT in schedule I of the CSA. The proposed rule provided an opportunity for all interested persons to submit their written comments on or before September 21, 2009.

After the comment period closed on September 21, 2009, DEA discovered that the supporting documents referenced in the proposed rule were not posted to the electronic docket, thus not available for review. DEA reopened the public comment period (October 28, 2009, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) (74FR55502) for an additional 30 days to ensure all interested members of the public had an opportunity to review all the materials and provide comments. Comments submitted on or before November 27, 2009, were considered.

Comments Received

The DEA received 22 comments in response to the August 21, 2009, and October 28, 2009, Notices of Proposed Rulemaking. Five comments were received in response to the first Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. An additional 17 comments were received during the 30-day reopening of the comment period. One of the comments submitted contained only supporting materials for another comment that was submitted. All commenters were concerned citizens, none of whom identified themselves as representing organizations.

Support for the rule as proposed: One commenter supported the proposal to schedule 5-MeO-DMT in schedule I. DEA appreciates the support of this commenter for this final rule.

Twenty of the comments were in opposition to the proposed scheduling of 5-MeO-DMT in schedule I of the CSA. Various reasons for the disapproval of the scheduling of 5-MeO-DMT were provided. Most comments can be grouped into the following general categories: (1) Those concerned that the comment or request for hearing period was inadequate and requesting an extension of the comment or request for hearing period, (2) those concerned that 5-MeO-DMT is a naturally occurring substance and thus should not be controlled, (3) those that questioned the pharmacological and abuse potential findings considered by DEA and DHHSfor the purpose of scheduling 5-MeODMT, (4) those concerned that the proposed scheduling would limit access to 5-MeO-DMT for research, and (5) those that alleged violations of the Establishment Clause and/or the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment or raised other legal challenges.

Length of comment or request for hearing period: Several commenters felt that the length of the comment or request for hearing period was too short and requested that the comment or request for hearing period be extended, to as much as 24 months. Some commenters noted the need to research pharmacological, religious or other evidence regarding 5-MeO-DMT and prepare comments and stated there was not enough time before the comment period closed to obtain or prepare this information.

In response to these comments, DEA does not believe that a further extension or reopening of the comment or request for hearing period is necessary or warranted. Pharmacological and abuse data on 5-MeO-DMT are publicly available and easily retrievable. The period for comments and requests for hearings with regard to the Notices of Proposed Rulemaking was thirty (30) days from the date of publication of each Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Interested persons who wished to submit written data, views or arguments have had ample opportunity to use the information in the medical and scientific literature, which are available to the public from various resources ( e.g., U.S. National Library of Medicine, public libraries, and Web sites of scientific journals), along with the supplemental information provided by DEA ( i.e., DEA’s scheduling review document and FDA’s scientific and medical evaluation and scheduling recommendation) as well as other sources of information such as publications by Federal agencies ( e.g., reports from DEA’s NFLIS, National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA) National Survey on Drug Use and Health, Substance Abuse and Mental


### 79298 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

Health Services Administration’s Drug Abuse Warning Network, and NIDA’s Monitoring the Future) to submit meaningful comments on 5-MeO-DMT that can be supported by data or scientific arguments. These data are publicly available and easily retrievable. DEA has considered the amount of time needed to obtain and review documents and supporting materials relevant to the commenter’s position, prepare the comment, and submit the comment and finds that a 30-day comment period provides a meaningful opportunity for interested persons to submit comments or request a hearing. While commenters indicated that an extension of the comment period would allow time for further research regarding 5-MeO-DMT, DEA notes that this scheduling action does not prevent such research from occurring. Any person wishing to conduct research using 5-MeO-DMT may do so provided that the person has obtained a schedule I researcher registration with DEA, has the appropriate research protocols in place with FDA, and meets all other requirements.

Use of http://www.regulations.gov: Several commenters discussed the use of http://www.regulations.gov, the government’s online Federal Docket Management System (FDMS). Commenters stated that the document reopening the comment period was posted to the electronic docket on http://www.regulations.gov on October 28, 2009, but that certain supporting materials were not posted until November 3, 2009. In a related comment, a commenter objected to the

‘‘ splitting’’ of the electronic docket for the reopening of the comment period from the electronic docket for the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The commenter indicated that ‘‘ splitting’’ the dockets made it difficult to view all docket components and made it

‘‘ extremely difficult to communicate to others where and how to locate, view, or comment on Docket No. DEA–331. ’’

DEA disagrees with these comments. The supporting documents were posted to the electronic docket (Docket ID DEA 2009–0008) on September 30, 2009, and October 2, 2009. DEA acknowledges that the electronic docket for the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was separate from the electronic docket for the reopening of the comment period. This electronic method of posting, however, merely supplemented the notice provisions required by the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Both the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and the extension of the comment period were published in the Federal Register (74 FR 42217, August 21, 2009, and 74 FR 55502, October 28, 2009, respectively), in accordance with administrative law requirements. Although not required to do so, DEA posted a Statement for the Record in the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) Docket ID DEA–2009–0008 (the August 21, 2009, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) to alert the public that the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to reopen the comment period was located in FDMS Docket ID DEA–2009–0013.

5-MeO-DMT is a naturally occurring substance: Some commenters objectedto the proposed scheduling of 5-MeODMT because 5-MeO-DMT is a naturally occurring substance. DEA has considered these comments and acknowledges the biological presence of 5-MeO-DMT in humans and in certain toads and plant species. However, DEA disagrees with the contention that the fact that 5-MeO-DMT is a naturally occurring substance prevents it from being controlled. DHHS and DEA have considered the eight factors determinative of control set out in 21 U.S.C. 811(c), and DEA has considered the recommendations of DHHS in making the findings under 21 U.S.C. 812 that warrant placement in schedule I of the CSA.

Insufficient data: Several commenters believed that insufficient data exist to support the placement of 5-MeO-DMT into schedule I. For example, a few commenters argued that 5-MeO-DMT does not have toxic effects or lead to addiction or harmful behavior. In addition, a commenter incorrectly stated that there were no reported deaths associated with the use of 5-MeO-DMT. Other commenters suggested that the scheduling of 5-MeO-DMT be postponed until more research could be done.

DEA does not agree with these statements. The studies used to assess abuse potential of 5-MeO-DMT are widely held as the standard methods ofevaluation. Behavioral effects of 5-MeODMT in animals and humans were found to be similar to those of the schedule I hallucinogens. Preclinical studies indicated that 5-MeO-DMT has pharmacological effects at serotonin receptors. In humans, 5-MeO-DMT produced subjective responses similar to DMT and other schedule I hallucinogens. In addition, DEA finds that the abuse of 5-MeO-DMT presents a safety hazard to the health of individuals. There are reports of emergency room admissions and a deathassociated with the abuse of 5-MeODMT. After careful consideration of preclinical and clinical studies and in accordance with 21 U.S.C. 811(a) and (b) and considering the factors enumerated in 21 U.S.C. 811(c), the Deputy Administrator of the DEA finds that 5-MeO-DMT has high abuse potential supporting placement in schedule I under the CSA.

Control of DMT: One commenter questioned the evidence considered by DEA to make the findings to control

‘‘DMT. ’’ DEA finds that this comment is not relevant to the present scheduling action as this Final Rule pertains to the scheduling of 5-MeO-DMT. However, if the commenter intended to refer to 5- MeO-DMT and not DMT, the reasons for controlling 5-MeO-DMT have already been provided.

Prohibition or restriction of use in research: Commenters expressed concern that the proposed scheduling of 5-MeO-DMT will prohibit orsignificantly restrict the use of 5-MeODMT in research. The DEA does not agree. As noted previously, persons interested in using 5-MeO-DMT for research purposes can still use this substance provided that they have a DEA schedule I researcher registration and meet all other statutory and regulatory criteria. This registration can be obtained by submitting an application for schedule I registration in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.18.

Constitutional concerns: Several commenters raised concerns that the proposed rule would substantially impair religious liberty. The commenters raised two specific concerns with respect to religion. First, the commenters questioned the proposed rule on the ground that the CSA, which authorizes this rulemaking, violates both the Free Exercise Clause and the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. DEA has fully considered these concerns, and does not believe any change in the rule is necessary. With respect to the Free Exercise Clause, one commenter claimed that the CSA is not a neutral law of general applicability under Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990), because the CSA includes exemptions for the use of alcohol, certain research and medical uses of certain substances, and the sacramental use of peyote by the Native American Church. This concern has been raised previously in litigation, and courts have concluded that the CSA does not interfere with the free exercise of religion in violation of the First Amendment. See Olsen v. Mukasey, 541 F.3d 827 (8th Cir. 2008); O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal

v. Mukasey, No. 00–1647 (D. N. M. June 16, 2008). The commenter raised similar concerns about the CSA with respect to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Once again, courts have


### 79299 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 243 / Monday, December 20, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

upheld the validity of the CSA in the face of related challenges and concluded that the statute does not represent an establishment of religion in contravention of the First Amendment. Peyote Way Church of God v. Thornburgh, 922 F.2d 1210 (5th Cir. 1991); United States v. Valazquez, 2009 WL 2823730 (W.D. Okla. Aug. 31, 2009).

Another commenter suggested that if the final rule scheduling 5-MeO-DMT is issued without change, DEA should consider ‘‘providing special exemption for religious use. ’’ The commenter did not provide any specific details about the kind of exemption that he believed would be appropriate. Accordingly, DEA lacks the information necessary to evaluate this comment.

Finally, one commenter questioned DEA’s finding that the proposed rule does not have federalism implications warranting the application of Executive Order 13132. DEA has considered this concern and concurs with the conclusion that the placement of 5- MeO-DMT and its salts into schedule I of the CSA does not preempt or modify any provision of State law; nor does it impose enforcement responsibilities on any State; nor does it diminish the power of any State to enforce its own laws. Scheduling of 5-MeO-DMT

Based on the recommendation of the Assistant Secretary for Health, received in accordance with section 201(b) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 811(b)), the independent review of the available data by DEA, and after a review of the comments received in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and the notice reopening the comment period, the Deputy Administrator, pursuant to sections 201(a) and 201(b) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 811(a) and 811(b)), finds that:

(1) 5-MeO-DMT has a high potential for abuse.

(2) 5-MeO-DMT has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.

(3) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of 5-MeO-DMT under medical supervision.

Based on these findings, the Deputy Administrator of the DEA concludes that 5-MeO-DMT and its salts warrant control in schedule I of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 812 (b)(1)). Regulatory Requirements

As noted below, 5-MeO-DMT will be subject to regulatory controls and administrative, civil and criminal sanctions applicable to the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, importation and exportation of a schedule I controlled substance, including the following:

**SUMMARY :**  EPA is taking final action to approve a portion of a revision to the Mississippi State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), to EPA on November 28, 2007. The revision amends Mississippi’s prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting regulations in the SIP to address permit requirements promulgated in the 1997 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) Implementation Rule-Phase II (hereafter referred to as the ‘‘ Ozone Implementation New Source Review (NSR) Update ’’ ). The Ozone Implementation NSR Update revised permit requirements relating to the implementation of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS specifically incorporating nitrogen oxides (NO X ) as a precursor to ozone. EPA’s approval of Mississippi’s provisions to include NO X as an ozone precursor into the Mississippi SIP is based on EPA’s determination that Mississippi’s SIP revision related to these provisions complies with Federal requirements.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: This rule will be effective January 19, 2011.

As part of the 2004 designations, EPA also promulgated an implementation rule for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in two phases. Phase I of EPA’s 1997 8-hour ozone implementation rule (Phase 1 Rule), published on April 30, 2004, and effective on June 15, 2004, provided the implementation requirements for designating areas under subpart 1 and subpart 2 of the CAA. 69 FR 23857.

On November 29, 2005, EPA promulgated the second phase for implementation provisions related to the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS which finalized regulations to implement the 8-hour NAAQS for PSD permitting purposes—also known as the Phase II Rule. 70 FR 71612.
