In accordance with the provisions of 21 U.S.C. 811(a) of the CSA,
this action is a formal rulemaking ``on the record after opportunity
for a hearing.'' Such proceedings are conducted pursuant to the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 556 and 557 and, as such, are exempt from review
by the Office of Management and Budget pursuant to Executive order
(E.O.) 12866, section 3(d)(1).
The Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, in
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act [5 U.S.C. 605(b)], has
reviewed this rule and by approving it certifies that it will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small-business
entities. The inclusion of a product in 21 CFR 1308.34 relieves persons
who handle the product in the course of legitimate business from the
registration, records, reports, prescription, physical security, import
and export requirements associated with Schedule III controlled
substances under the CSA. Specifically, the products are exempted from
application of sections 302 through 309 and 1002 through 1004 of the
CSA (21 U.S.C. 822-829 and 952-954) and Secs. 1301.11, 1301.13, and
1301.71 through 1301.76 of Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations.
This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed
necessary under provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
This rule is not a major rule as defined by section 804 of the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. This rule
will not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100,000,000 or
more; a major increase in costs or prices; or have significant adverse
effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or on the ability of the United States-based companies to
compete with foreign-based companies in domestic and export markets.
This rule will not have substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with E.O. 12612, it is
determined that this rule will not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Dated: September 8, 1997.
John H. King,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug
Enforcement Administration.
