1308.24(a). All other requirements of the CSA and the CFR apply, including, but not limited to, registration as an importer as required by 21 U.S.C. 957.

Chemical Preparations Containing Newly Controlled Substances

The statutory authority for exempt chemical preparations is based on the

control status of substances contained within a preparation, the intended administration of a preparation, and the packaged form of a preparation. DEA conducts a case-by-case analysis of each application for exemption to determine whether exemption of a preparation from certain provisions of the CSA is appropriate pursuant to the specified statutory and regulatory requirements.

Most exempt chemical preparations

have remained effective until the holder of a specific exempt chemical preparation specifically requested that the exemption be terminated. The CSA

allows for modifications to the controlled substances schedules to add, remove, or change the schedule of substances thus resulting in periodic

modifications to the control status of various substances. 21 U.S.C. 811(a). Since the CSA was enacted in 1970, DEA has on several occasions added to, removed from, or modified the

schedules of controlled substances in accordance with the CSA. Such changes may result in the non-compliance of exempt chemical preparations with current statutes or regulations if chemical preparations that have already obtained exempt status contain newly controlled substances. For example, although an exempt chemical preparation may continue to be packaged in the same manner as when it was approved, non-controlled substances in the preparation may become controlled, thus prompting the need for a new application for exemption of the chemical preparation to ensure continued compliance. Other preparations that previously contained no controlled substances may contain newly controlled substances and thus would require an application for exemption.

DEA reviews applications for chemical preparation exemptions based on the statutes and regulations that are in place at the time of the application, including the control status of substances included in the preparation. DEA must remain vigilant to ensure that exempt chemical preparations remain

consistent with the standards set forth in the CSA and its implementing regulations. As such, DEA reminds the public that any chemical preparation, regardless of whether it was previously exempt, that contains a newly controlled substance will require a new application for exemption pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 811(g)(3)(B) and 21 CFR

1308.23–1308.24.

Review of Exemptions Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 811(g)(3)

Based on inquiries received from industry, DEA is conducting a comprehensive review of the exempt chemical preparation regulations. DEA’s regulations at 21 CFR 1308.24(a) state that approved chemical preparations are exempt from certain provisions of both Subchapter I and Subchapter II of the CSA: ‘‘The chemical preparations and mixtures approved pursuant to 1308.23 are exempt from application of sections

302, 303, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 1002, 1003 and 1004 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 822–823, 825–829, 952–954) and 1301.74 of this chapter, to the extent described in paragraphs (b) to (h) of this section.’’ Pursuant to its regulations, DEA has provided exemptions from the application of section 302, 303, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 1002, 1003, and 1004 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 822–823, 825–829, 952–954) and 21 CFR 1301.74 since the implementation of the regulations in the early 1970s. Until DEA’s analysis of the exemption regulations is complete, DEA will continue to review and provide exemptions to chemical preparations consistent with the implementing regulations, when warranted. DEA will publish a future notice regarding the

outcome of DEA’s review of its regulations with respect to the exemption of chemical preparations.

Opportunity for Comment

Pursuant to 21 CFR 1308.23, any interested person may submit written comments on or objections to any chemical preparation in this order that has been approved or denied as exempt. If any comments or objections raise significant issues regarding any finding of fact or conclusion of law upon which this order is based, the Deputy Assistant Administrator will immediately suspend the effectiveness of any applicable part of this order until he may reconsider the application in light of the comments and objections filed.

Background

Section 306 of the CSA (21 U.S.C. 826) requires the Attorney General to establish aggregate production quotas

for each basic class of controlled

substance listed in Schedules I and II and for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. This responsibility has been delegated to the Administrator of the DEA by 28 CFR 0.100. The Administrator, in turn, has redelegated this function to the Deputy Administrator, pursuant to 28 CFR

0.104.

The proposed year 2014 aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs represent those quantities

of Schedule I and II controlled substances, and the List I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, to be

manufactured in the United States in 2014 to provide for the estimated medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs of the United States, lawful export requirements, and the

establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks. These quotas include imports of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine but do not include imports of controlled

substances for use in industrial

processes.

In determining the proposed 2014 aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs, DEA has

taken into account the criteria that DEA is required to consider in accordance with 21 U.S.C. 826(a), 21 CFR 1303.11 (aggregate production quotas for controlled substances), and 21 CFR 1315.11 (assessment of annual needs for ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine). DEA proposes the aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs for 2014 by considering (1) total net disposal of the class or chemical by all manufacturers and chemical importers during the current and two preceding years; (2) trends in the national rate of net disposal of the class or chemical; (3) total actual (or estimated) inventories of

the class or chemical and of all

substances manufactured from the class or chemical, and trends in inventory accumulation; (4) projected demand for such class or chemical as indicated by procurement and chemical import quotas requested pursuant to 21 CFR 1303.12, 1315.32, and 1315.34; and (5) other factors affecting the medical, scientific, research, and industrial needs in the United States, lawful export requirements, and reserve stocks, as the Deputy Administrator finds relevant.

Other factors DEA considered in calculating the aggregate production quotas, but not the assessment of annual needs, include product development requirements of both bulk and finished dosage form manufacturers, and other pertinent information. In determining the proposed 2014 assessment of annual needs, DEA used the calculation methodology previously described in

the 2010 and 2011 assessment of annual needs (74 FR 60294 and 75 FR 79407, respectively).

DEA also specifically considered that inventory allowances granted to individual manufacturers may not always result in the availability of sufficient quantities to maintain an adequate reserve stock pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 826(a), as intended. See 21 CFR 1303.24. This would be concerning if a

natural disaster or other unforeseen event resulted in substantial disruption

to the amount of controlled substances available to provide for legitimate public need. As such, DEA proposes to include in all Schedule II aggregate production quotas, and certain ScheduleI aggregate production quotas (gammahydroxybutyric acid and tetrahydrocannabinols), an additional 25% of the estimated medical, scientific, and research needs as part of the amount necessary to ensure the

establishment and maintenance of reserve stocks. The resulting established aggregate production quotas will reflect

these included amounts. This action will not affect the ability of manufacturers to maintain inventory allowances as specified by regulation. DEA expects that maintaining this reserve in certain established aggregate production quotas will mitigate adverse public effects if an unforeseen event resulted in substantial disruption to the

amount of controlled substances available to provide for legitimate public need, as determined by DEA. DEA does not anticipate utilizing the

reserve in the absence of these

circumstances.

The Deputy Administrator, therefore, proposes that the year 2014 aggregate production quotas and assessment of annual needs for the following Schedule

I and II controlled substances and for the List I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine, expressed in grams of anhydrous acid or base, be

established as follows:
