Schedules of Controlled Substances; Placement of Aminorex Into Schedule I

This final rule is issued by the Acting Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to place aminorex into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). This action is based on findings made by the Acting Administrator of the DEA, after review and evaluation of the relevant data by both DEA and the Assistant Secretary for Health, Department of Health and Human Services, that aminorex meets the statutory criteria for inclusion in Schedule I of the CSA. Since this substance has been temporarily scheduled in Schedule I, the regulatory control mechanisms and criminal sanctions of Schedule I continue to be applicable to the manufacture, distribution, importation and exportation of aminorex.
