DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Drug Enforcement Administration 

[Docket No. DEA–1086] 

Special Surveillance List of Chemicals, 

Products, Materials and Equipment 

Used in the Manufacture of Controlled 

Substances and Listed Chemicals 

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement 

Administration, Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Controlled Substances 

Act provides for civil penalties for the 

distribution of a laboratory supply to a 

person who uses, or attempts to use, 

that laboratory supply to manufacture a 

controlled substance or a listed 

chemical, if that distribution was made 

with reckless disregard for the illegal 

uses to which such laboratory supply 

will be put. The term laboratory supply 

is defined as a listed chemical or any 

chemical, substance, or item on a 

special surveillance list published by 

the Attorney General which contains 

chemicals, products, materials, or 

equipment used in the manufacture of 

controlled substances and listed 

chemicals. The Drug Enforcement 

Administration is hereby publishing a 

final notice to update the Special 

Surveillance List. 

DATES: This Special Surveillance List is 

effective October 24, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Terrence L. Boos, Drug and Chemical 

Evaluation Section, Diversion Control 

Division, Drug Enforcement 

Administration; Telephone: (571) 362– 

3249. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Controlled Substances Act (CSA), as 

amended by the Comprehensive 

Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996 

(MCA), provides for the publication of 

a Special Surveillance List by the 

Attorney General.1 The Special 

Surveillance List identifies laboratory 

supplies which are used in the 

manufacture of controlled substances 

and listed chemicals. The CSA defines 

‘‘laboratory supply’’ as ‘‘a listed 

chemical or any chemical, substance, or 

item on a special surveillance list 

published by the Attorney General 

which contains chemicals, products, 

materials, or equipment used in the 

manufacture of controlled substances 

and listed chemicals.’’ 2 The CSA 

provides for a civil penalty of not more 

than $250,000 for the distribution of a 

laboratory supply to a person who uses, 

or attempts to use, that laboratory 

supply to manufacture a controlled 

substance or a listed chemical, if that 

distribution was made with ‘‘reckless 

disregard’’ for the illegal uses to which 

such a laboratory supply will be put.3

The CSA further states that, for 

purposes of 21 U.S.C. 842(a)(11), ‘‘there 

is a rebuttable presumption of reckless 

disregard at trial if the Attorney General 

notifies a firm in writing that a 

laboratory supply sold by the firm, or 

any other person or firm, has been used 

by a customer of the notified firm, or 

distributed further by that customer, for 

the unlawful production of controlled 

substances or listed chemicals a firm 

distributes and 2 weeks or more after 

the notification the notified firm 

distributes a laboratory supply to the 

customer.’’ 4

The publication of the Special 

Surveillance List serves two purposes. 

First, it informs individuals and firms of 

the potential use of the items on the list 

in the manufacture of controlled 

substances and listed chemicals. 

Second, it reminds individuals and 

firms that civil penalties may be 

imposed on them if they distribute a 

laboratory supply to a person who uses, 

or attempts to use, that laboratory 

supply to manufacture a controlled 

substance or a listed chemical, in 

violation of the CSA, with reckless 

disregard for the illegal uses to which 

such a laboratory supply will be put.5

The publication of the updated Special 

Surveillance List provides an increased 

level of public awareness and law 

enforcement control to prevent the 

diversion of laboratory supplies used for 

the manufacture of listed chemicals and 

controlled substances. 

The first Special Surveillance List was 

published in 1999 and has not been 

updated since.6 Although the CSA does 

not require notice and comment for 

changes to the Special Surveillance List, 

DEA provided notice of proposed 

changes and an opportunity for the 

public to comment because the list has 

not been updated in over 23 years.7

Comments Received 

DEA received 29 comments in 

response to the notice of proposed 

updates to the Special Surveillance List, 

all of which were in opposition to the 

proposed changes. According to the 

commenters, the update to the Special 

Surveillance List will further regulate 

the chemical industry, which would 

impose additional regulatory burdens 

on small businesses. Several 

commenters also objected to the 

addition of three chemicals to the 

Special Surveillance List: sodium 

borohydride, propiophenone, and 

propionyl chloride. 

DEA Response: As explained in the 

notice of proposed updates to the 

Special Surveillance List, the updates 

do not impose any new regulatory 

burden on the public, and they do not 

impose any recordkeeping or reporting 

requirements for any of the laboratory 

supplies. The chemicals that are being 

added to the Special Surveillance List 

are not themselves being regulated as 

listed chemicals or controlled 

substances under the CSA. The Special 

Surveillance List is being updated to 

reflect changes in the chemicals, 

products, materials, or equipment used 

in the manufacture of controlled 

substances and listed chemicals, to 

include additional laboratory supplies 

that are used in the illicit manufacture 

of controlled substances and listed 

chemicals. 

Several commenters objected to the 

addition of three chemicals to the 

Special Surveillance List: sodium 

borohydride, propiophenone, and 

propionyl chloride. These objections 

were devoid of acknowledgement that
