The Acting Deputy Administrator

further proposes that aggregate

production quotas for all other

Schedules I and II controlled substances

included in §§ 1308.11 and 1308.12 of

Title 21 of the Code of Federal

Regulations be established at zero.

All interested persons are invited to

submit their comments and objections

in writing regarding this proposal. A

person may object to or comment on the

proposal relating to any of the abovementioned substances without filing

comments or objections regarding the

others. If a person believes that one or

more of these issues warrant a hearing,

the individual should so state and

summarize the reasons for this belief.

In the event that comments or

objections to this proposal raise one or

more issues which the Acting Deputy

Administrator finds warrant a hearing,

the Acting Deputy Administrator finds

warrant a hearing, the Acting Deputy

Administrator shall order a public

hearing by notice in the Federal

Register, summarizing the issues to be

heard and setting the time for the

hearing.

The Office of Management and Budget

has determined that notices of aggregate

production quotas are not subject to

centralized review under Executive

Order 12866. This action has been

analyzed in accordance with the

principles and criteria contained in

Executive Order 12612, and it has been

determined that this matter does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

The Acting Deputy Administrator

hereby certifies that this action will

have no significant impact upon small

entities whose interests must be

considered under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The

establishment of annual aggregate

production quotas for Schedules I and II

controlled substances is mandated by

law and by international treaty

obligations. Aggregate production

quotas apply to approximately 200 DEA

registered bulk and dosage form

manufacturers of Schedules I and II

controlled substances. The quotas are

necessary to provide for the estimated

medical, scientific, research and

industrial needs of the United States, for

export requirements and the

establishment and maintenance of

reserve stocks. While aggregate

production quotas are of primary

importance to large manufacturers, their

impact upon small entities is neither

negative nor beneficial. Accordingly, the

Acting Deputy Administrator has

determined that this action does not

require a regulatory flexibility analysis.

Dated: August 25, 1997.

James S. Milford,

Acting Deputy Administrator.

questions pertaining to this pending

request for emergency approval must be
