Abstract: The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (CMEA), which is Title VII of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-177), requires that on and after September 30, 2006, a regulated seller must not sell at retail over-the-counter (non-prescription) products containing the List I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine (referred to here as "scheduled listed chemical products”), unless it has self-certified to DEA, through DEA’s Web site. The Combat Methamphetamine Enhancement Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-268) (MEA) requires that on and after April 10, 2011, a regulated person that sells scheduled listed chemical products at retail and uses or attempts to use the U.S. Postal Service or a private or commercial carrier to deliver the product to the customer (referred to as a “mail-order distributor”), must not sell those products unless it has self-certified to DEA, through DEA’s Web site. The Methamphetamine Production Prevention Act of 2008 (MPPA) (Pub. L. 110-415) was enacted in 2008 to clarify the information entry and signature requirements for electronic logbook systems permitted for the retail sale of scheduled listed chemical products. The MPPA expressly permits the regulated seller to capture information regarding the name of the product and the quantity sold through bar code, electronic data capture, or similar technology.
