| 00-19289 | Listed Chemicals; Final Establishment of Thresholds for Iodine and Hydrochloric Gas (Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride) | Rule | Effective October 3, 1996, the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996 (MCA) established that iodine is a List II chemical; however, it was not made subject to import/export regulatory controls. While exports of the listed chemical hydrochloric acid (including anhydrous hydrogen chloride, referred to in the MCA as hydrochloric gas, which is a form of hydrogen chloride) were already regulated pursuant to 21 CFR 1310, the MCA had the practical effect of directing the DEA to place domestic controls on anhydrous hydrogen chloride. Since no domestic thresholds for iodine or anhydrous hydrogen chloride have been established prior to this Final Rule, all domestic transactions involving such chemicals have been subject to recordkeeping and reporting requirements under the Controlled Substances Act since October 3, 1996. This rule establishes a domestic threshold of zero (0.0 kilograms) for anhydrous hydrogen chloride, and a domestic threshold of 0.4 kilograms for iodine. Import and export transactions in anhydrous chloride are unaffected by this rule. Iodine transactions involving amounts below the threshold will not be subject to recordkeeping and reporting requirements except for reporting of any unusual or excessive loss or disappearance as required by 21 U.S.C. 830(b)(1)(C). Although the threshold for anhydrous hydrogen chloride is established at 0.0 kilogram, DEA has concluded that certain transactions in anhydrous hydrogen chloride are not sources for diversion. This rule also provides exemption from the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for both transactions involving pipeline distributions and distributions of 12,000 pounds (net weight) or more in a single container. Because these exemptions were not discussed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published in September 30, 1997, DEA requests public comment with respect to the exemption for these two types of transactions involving anhydrous hydrogen chloride. This rule reinserts the table in 21 CFR 1310.04(f)(2)(iv), listing thresholds for exports, transshipments, and international transactions to designated countries set forth in 21 CFR 1310.08(b). This table was inadvertently omitted from the DEA's final rule regarding implementation of the Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993, published on June 22, 1995 (60 FR 32447). Finally, this final rule assigns the DEA chemical code number of 6699 for iodine. | 2000-08-02 | 2000 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/08/02/00-19289/listed-chemicals-final-establishment-of-thresholds-for-iodine-and-hydrochloric-gas-anhydrous | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-08-02/pdf/00-19289.pdf | Justice Department; Drug Enforcement Administration | 268,116 | Effective October 3, 1996, the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996 (MCA) established that iodine is a List II chemical; however, it was not made subject to import/export regulatory controls.
