## Abstract

This proposed rule is issued by the Acting Deputy Administrator of the DEA to remove the anorectic drug, fenfluramine, including its salts, isomers and salts of isomers from control under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). This proposed action is based upon a finding by the Acting Deputy Administrator of the DEA that the data collected and reviewed to date are insufficient to establish that fenfluramine has sufficient potential for abuse and dependence to justify its continued control in any schedule at this time. This rule, if finalized, would remove all regulatory controls and criminal sanctions of the CSA from activities involving fenfluramine.
