Title: Security Requirements for Handlers of Pseudoephedrine, Ephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine | |
Abstract: Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, and phenylpropanolamine is used in the illegal manufacture of amphetamine. The vast majority of clandestine laboratories produce methamphetamine using over-the-counter regulated drug products. DEA has received numerous reports regarding the theft of large quantities of these products at the wholesale level. DEA drafted a rule to require that manufacturers, distributors, importers, and exporters of pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine implement security procedures similar to those of Schedule III-V controlled substances to prevent the theft and diversion of these List I chemicals. These procedures include the storage of substances in a secure safe or steel cabinet, cage, or room, and installation of a monitored alarm system linked to a central location. DEA also sought input regarding alternative means to effectively prevent the theft and diversion of these products. | |
