Abstract
DEA is finalizing the Interim Rule, which included a request for comment, published in the Federal Register on February 10, 1997, (62 FR 5914). The Interim Rule amended the regulations to incorporate certain amendments to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) made by the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996 (MCA) and to provide temporary exemption from registration for persons who distribute combination ephedrine products. Comments were received regarding industry interpretation of certain requirements of both the CSA and the MCA. This notice responds to those comments and clarifies the requirements of the CSA and MCA with respect to the distribution of combination ephedrine products.
