68090 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 9, 2005 / Notices 

The Deputy Administrator further 

orders 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 remain at 

zero. 

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 does not preempt or 

modify any provision of state law; nor 

does it impose enforcement 

responsibilities on any state; nor does it 

diminish the power of any state to 

enforce its own laws. Accordingly, this 

action does not have federalism 

implications warranting the application 

of Executive Order 13132. 

The 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 

aggregate production quotas for 

Schedules I and II controlled substances 

is mandated by law and by international 

treaty obligations. 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 

Deputy Administrator has determined 

that this action does not require a 

regulatory flexibility analysis. 

This action meets the applicable 

standards set forth in sections 3(a) and 

3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 Civil 

Justice Reform. 

This action will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $117,000,000 or more 

in any one year, and will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, no actions were 

deemed necessary under the provisions 

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995. 

This action is not a major rule as 

defined by section 804 of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996. This action will 

not result in an annual effect on the 

economy of $100,000,000 or more; a 

major increase in costs or prices; or 

significant adverse effects on 

competition, employment, investment, 

productivity, innovation, or on the 

ability of United States-based 

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and 

export markets.

Dated: November 3, 2005. 

Michele M. Leonhart, 

Deputy Administrator.
