Implementation of the Combat 

Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 

2005; Notice of Transfers Following 

Importation or Exportation; Temporary 

Stay of Certain Provisions 

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement 

Administration (DEA), Justice. 

ACTION: Interim final rule with request 

for comment; temporary stay of 

provisions. 

SUMMARY: On April 9, 2007, the Drug 

Enforcement Administration (DEA) 

published an Interim Final Rule with 

Request for Comment in the Federal 

Register (72 FR 17401) implementing 

the provisions of section 716 of the 

Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic 

Act of 2005 (CMEA) (21 U.S.C. 971 as 

amended), enacted March 9, 2006, 

which required additional reporting for 

import, export, and international 

transactions involving all List I and List 

II chemicals. Subsequent to publication 

of the Interim Final Rule, DEA received 

both written and verbal comments from 

the regulated industry requesting the 

delay of the effective date of the 

rulemaking to allow industry more time 

to fully comply with the new 

provisions. The rule became effective 

May 9, 2007. After careful consideration 

of the comments received, DEA is 

temporarily staying the provisions of the 

Interim Final Rule with Request for 

Comment published April 9, 2007, by 

30 days, from May 9, 2007 to June 8, 

2007. 

DATES: Effective May 22, 2007, through 

June 7, 2007, the provisions of 21 CFR 

1313.12(c)(1)(ii), 1313.13(c)(5), 1313.16, 

1313.17, 1313.26, 1313.27, 1313.32(d), 

1313.32(e), and 1313.35 are temporarily 

stayed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 9, 2006, the President 

signed the Combat Methamphetamine 

Epidemic Act of 2005 (CMEA), which is 

Title VII of the USA PATRIOT 

Improvement and Reauthorization Act 

of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–177). On April 9, 

2007, the Drug Enforcement 

Administration (DEA) published an 

Interim Final Rule with Request for 

Comment (72 FR 17401) implementing 

section 716 of the CMEA. That section 

addressed the importation, exportation, 

and international transactions of all List 

I and List II chemicals. Briefly, section 

716 of the CMEA (21 U.S.C. 971 as 


cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with RULES
28602 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 98 / Tuesday, May 22, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

amended) extends the current reporting 

requirements—as well as the current 

exemption for regular importers and 

regular customers—to post-import and 

post-export transactions of List I and 

List II chemicals. With implementation 

of the Interim Final Rule with Request 

for Comment, importers, exporters, 

brokers, and traders are required to 

notify DEA, before the transaction is to 

take place, of certain information 

regarding their downstream customers. 

This person is referred to as the 

‘‘transferee’’ of the United States 

importer, exporter, broker or trader. 

Notification occurs on a new DEA Form 

486. If the transferee changes, or the 

quantity of the chemical is increased 

after initial notification to DEA, the 

importer, exporter, broker or trader must 

file an amended DEA Form 486 with 

DEA. Within 30 days after the 

importation, exportation, or 

international transaction is completed, 

the importer, exporter, broker, or trader 

must send DEA a return declaration 

containing information regarding the 

transaction. The requirements of section 

716 and the implementing regulations 

were discussed extensively in DEA’s 

Interim Final Rule with Request for 

Comment published April 9, 2007. This 

Interim Final Rule became effective May 

9, 2007. 

Comments Received 

Subsequent to publication of the 

Interim Final Rule, DEA received two 

written requests for a delay of the 

effective date of the rule, one from a 

national chemical association and the 

other from a large chemical company. 

Commenters indicated that more time 

was needed to fully comply with the 

provisions of the Interim Final Rule. 

Commenters also sought clarification 

regarding procedural implementation of 

the rule. DEA also received verbal 

communications from other 

organizations and individual registrants 

regarding procedural concerns and 

requests for clarification regarding the 

rule. 

Temporary Stay of Provisions 

After careful consideration of the 

concerns expressed by the regulated 

industry, DEA is temporarily staying 

certain provisions of the Interim Final 

Rule with Request for Comment 

published April 9, 2007. Specifically, 

DEA is temporarily staying the 

following provisions: 

• The waiver of the 15-day advance 

notification requirement for 

importations of a listed chemical for 

which the importer intends to transfer 

the listed chemical to a person who is 

a regular customer of the chemical; 

• The requirement that importers, 

exporters, brokers and traders notify 

DEA of the transferee of the listed 

chemical; 

• The requirement that importers, 

exporters, brokers and traders amend 

the advance notification (DEA Form 

486) if the transferee changes or the 

quantity of the chemical to be 

transferred increases; and 

• The requirement that importers, 

exporters, brokers and traders file return 

declarations regarding importations, 

exportations, and international 

transactions with DEA. 

These provisions are being 

temporarily stayed until June 8, 2007. 

This temporary stay applies only to 

those provisions implemented by 

section 716 of CMEA. All other 

provisions regarding the importation, 

exportation, and international 

transactions involving List I and List II 

chemicals remain in full force and 

effect. 

Implementation of the Interim Final 

Rule Published April 9, 2007 

The following implementation 

guidance is provided pursuant to the 

temporary stay of 21 CFR 

1313.12(c)(1)(ii), 1313.13(c)(5), 1313.16, 

1313.17, 1313.26, 1313.27, 1313.32(d), 

1313.32(e), and 1313.35. 

Effective June 8, 2007, all United 

States importers, exporters, brokers and 

traders of List I and List II chemicals 

must use the revised DEA Form 486 to 

notify DEA of their imports, exports, 

and international transactions. This 

revised form is available on the 

Diversion Control Program Web site, 

http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov. 

Persons who submit import, export, 

and international transaction advance 

notifications to DEA on the new form 

prior to June 8, 2007, are not required 

to provide a return declaration to DEA 

regarding those transactions. 

Effective June 8, 2007, all persons 

previously granted regular importer 

status will no longer hold that status. 

Every import of a List I and List II 

chemical must be reported to DEA not 

later than 15 days prior to the proposed 

importation. This report must include 

the name of the person to whom the 

chemical is proposed to be transferred 

and the amount of the chemical 

proposed to be transferred. As DEA 

discussed in the April 9, 2007, Interim 

Final Rule, DEA will evaluate each 

proposed importation based not only on 

the chemical to be imported but on the 

transferee information supplied by the 

importer as well. This process will 

allow for the establishment of regular 

customer status by transferees of United 

States importers, and for establishment 

of regular importer status by importers 

importing a specific listed chemical 

intended for sale to a specific customer. 

Effective June 8, 2007, all persons 

importing, exporting, and conducting 

international transactions involving List 

I and List II chemicals must provide 

return declarations to DEA. 

Pursuant to the authority of the 

Attorney General to promulgate and 

enforce rules and regulations under the 

Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 

871(b)), as delegated to the Deputy 

Assistant Administrator of the Office of 

Diversion Control by 28 CFR Part 0, 

Appendix to Subpart R, section 7, 

effective May 22, 2007, through June 7, 

2007, the provisions of 21 CFR 

1313.12(c)(1)(ii), 1313.13(c)(5), 1313.16, 

1313.17, 1313.26, 1313.27, 1313.32(d), 

1313.32(e), and 1313.35 are temporarily 

stayed.
