Description 

In 1959, Michael D. Coe and F. 

William Fischer of the University of 

Tennessee undertook archeological 

research at the Stone site (40SW23) 

prior to the inundation of Lake Barkley. 

Coe and Fisher documented extensive 

looting and encountered few 

undisturbed areas of the site. Artifacts 

indicate a Mississippian occupation. 

Notices of Inventory Completion were 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 19, 2017 (82 FR 33155–33156), July 

6, 2020 (85 FR 40314), and May 24, 

2023 (88 FR 33635) listing human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

from this site that have been repatriated. 

Subsequently, 19 additional funerary 

objects associated with these 

individuals were discovered in 

University of Tennessee collections. The 

collection is stored in the McClung 

Museum, University of Tennessee, 

Knoxville, TN. The 19 associated 

funerary objects are four lots of faunal 

bones, four lots of lithics, four lots of 

ceramic sherds, two lots of botanical 

material, three lots of coal fragments, 

and two dog mandible fragments. 

In 1959, human remains representing, 

at minimum, six individuals were 

removed from the Shamble site 

(40SW41) in Stewart County, TN. 

Michael D. Coe and F. William Fischer 

of the University of Tennessee 

undertook archeological research at the 

Shamble site prior to the inundation of 

Lake Barkley. Artifacts indicate 

Woodland and Mississippian 

occupation and a mound at the site 

dates to the Mississippian period. The 

collection is stored in the McClung 

Museum, University of Tennessee, 

Knoxville, TN. The human remains 

belong to four adults of indeterminate 

sex and two subadults. The 23 

associated funerary objects are one lot of 

lithics, three lots, 15 faunal bones, three 

lots of ceramics sherds, and one lot of 

coal fragments. (A Notice of Inventory 

Completion for additional human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

from this site was published in the 

Federal Register on July 19, 2017 (82 FR 

33155–33156). The repatriation and 

reburial of those human remains and 

associated funerary objects took place in 

August of 2018.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Legal Authority 

Section 306 of the Controlled 

Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 826) 

requires the Attorney General to 

establish aggregate production quotas 

for each basic class of controlled 

substance listed in schedule I and II and 

for the list I chemicals ephedrine, 

pseudoephedrine, and 

phenylpropanolamine. The Attorney 

General has delegated this function to 

the Administrator of the Drug 

Enforcement Administration (DEA) 

pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100. 

II. Background 

The 2024 aggregate production quotas 

(APQ) and assessment of annual needs 

(AAN) represent those quantities of 

schedule I and II controlled substances 

and the list I chemicals ephedrine, 

pseudoephedrine, and 

phenylpropanolamine that may be 

manufactured in the United States in 

2024, in order to provide for the 

estimated medical, scientific, research, 

and industrial needs of the U.S., 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. 

On November 2, 2023, a notice titled 

‘‘Proposed Aggregate Production Quotas 

for Schedule I and II Controlled 

Substances and Assessment of Annual 

Needs for the List I Chemicals 

Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and 

Phenylpropanolamine for 2024’’ was 

published in the Federal Register. 88 FR 

75312. This notice proposed the 2024 

APQ for each basic class of controlled 

substance listed in schedules I and II 

and the 2024 AAN for the list I 

chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, 

and phenylpropanolamine. All 

interested persons were invited to 

comment on or object to the proposed 

APQ and the proposed AAN on or 

before December 4, 2023. 

III. Comments Received 

Within the public comment period, 

DEA received 4,699 comments from 

DEA registrants, people with chronic 

pain, patients with attention deficit/ 

hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pain 

advocacy associations, U.S. professional 

associations, U.S. nurses, the Royal 

Australian and New Zealand College of 

Psychiatrists, the Australian ADHD 

Professionals Association, the ADHD 

Foundation Australia, and others. The 

comments included concerns about 

potential domestic opioid drug 

shortages due to further quota 

reductions; stimulant drug shortages in 

the United States and Australia; 

concerns that medical professionals 

might be impeded from exercising their 

medical expertise regarding opioid 

prescriptions; two requests for a public 

hearing; concerns with the 

implementation of quarterly quota 

allotments, and comments not 

pertaining to DEA regulated activities. 

DEA restricted seven comments from 

public view due to confidential business 

information and/or confidential 

personal identifying information. 

Opioid Adequacy 

Issue (Medication Out of Stock at 

Pharmacy Level): Commenters 

questioned whether the 2024 proposed 

APQs for Schedule II opioids will be 

adequate to meet legitimate medical 

needs of patients. Commenters said that 

because of decreases in aggregate 

production quotas for specific opioids, 

they have had difficulty filling 

legitimate prescriptions at pharmacies.
