range of sideslip angles appropriate to 

the operation of the airplane, but not 

less than those obtained with one-half of 

the available rudder-control movement 

(but not exceeding a rudder-control 

force of 180 pounds), rudder-control 

movements and forces must be 

substantially proportional to the angle 

of sideslip in a stable sense; and the

1Though DEA has used the term ‘‘final order’’ 

with respect to temporary scheduling orders in the 

past, this document adheres to the statutory

21 CFR Part 1308 

[Docket No. DEA–474] 

Schedules of Controlled Substances: 

Temporary Placement of Cyclopropyl 

Fentanyl in Schedule I 

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement 

Administration, Department of Justice. 

ACTION: Temporary amendment; 

temporary scheduling order. 

SUMMARY: The Administrator of the Drug 

Enforcement Administration is issuing 

this temporary scheduling order to 

schedule the synthetic opioid, N-(1- 

phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)-Nphenylcyclopropanecarboxamide 

(cyclopropyl fentanyl), and its isomers, 

esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, 

esters, and ethers in schedule I. This 

action is based on a finding by the 

Administrator that the placement of 

cyclopropyl fentanyl in schedule I of the 

Controlled Substances Act is necessary 

to avoid an imminent hazard to the 

public safety. As a result of this order, 

the regulatory controls and 

administrative, civil, and criminal 

sanctions applicable to schedule I 

controlled substances will be imposed 

on persons who handle (manufacture, 

distribute, reverse distribute, import, 

export, engage in research, conduct 

instructional activities or chemical 

analysis, or possess), or propose to 

handle, cyclopropyl fentanyl. 

DATES: This temporary scheduling order 

is effective January 4, 2018, until 

January 4, 2020. If this order is extended 

or made permanent, the DEA will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Legal Authority 

Section 201 of the Controlled 

Substances Act (CSA), 21 U.S.C. 811, 

provides the Attorney General with the 

authority to temporarily place a 

substance in schedule I of the CSA for 

two years without regard to the 

requirements of 21 U.S.C. 811(b) if he 

finds that such action is necessary to 

avoid an imminent hazard to the public 

safety. 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(1). In addition, 

if proceedings to control a substance are 

initiated under 21 U.S.C. 811(a)(1), the 

Attorney General may extend the 

temporary scheduling 1 for up to one 

year. 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(2). 

Where the necessary findings are 

made, a substance may be temporarily 

scheduled if it is not listed in any other 

schedule under section 202 of the CSA, 

21 U.S.C. 812, or if there is no 

exemption or approval in effect for the 

substance under section 505 of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FDCA), 21 U.S.C. 355. 21 U.S.C. 

811(h)(1). The Attorney General has 

delegated scheduling authority under 21 

U.S.C. 811 to the Administrator of the 

DEA. 28 CFR 0.100. 

Background 

Section 201(h)(4) of the CSA, 21 

U.S.C. 811(h)(4), requires the 

Administrator to notify the Secretary of 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) of his intention to 

temporarily place a substance in 

schedule I of the CSA.2 The 

Administrator transmitted notice of his 

intent to place cyclopropyl fentanyl in 

schedule I on a temporary basis to the 

Assistant Secretary for Health of HHS by 

letter dated August 28, 2017. The 

Assistant Secretary responded by letter 

dated September 6, 2017, and advised 

that based on review by the Food and 

Drug Administration (FDA), there are 

currently no investigational new drug 

applications or approved new drug 

applications for cyclopropyl fentanyl. 

The Assistant Secretary also stated that 

the HHS has no objection to the 

temporary placement of cyclopropyl 

fentanyl in schedule I of the CSA. The 

DEA has taken into consideration the 

Assistant Secretary’s comments as 

required by 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(4). 

Cyclopropyl fentanyl is not currently 

listed in any schedule under the CSA, 

and no exemptions or approvals are in 

effect for cyclopropyl fentanyl under 

section 505 of the FDCA, 21 U.S.C. 355. 

The DEA has found that the control of 

cyclopropyl fentanyl in schedule I on a 

temporary basis is necessary to avoid an 

imminent hazard to the public safety, 

and as required by 21 U.S.C. 

811(h)(1)(A), a notice of intent to 

temporarily schedule cyclopropyl 

fentanyl was published in the Federal 

Register on November 21, 2017. 82 FR 

55333. 

To find that placing a substance 

temporarily in schedule I of the CSA is 

necessary to avoid an imminent hazard 

to the public safety, the Administrator is 

required to consider three of the eight 

factors set forth in section 201(c) of the 

CSA, 21 U.S.C. 811(c): The substance’s
