Title: Listed Chemicals; Final Establishment of Thresholds for Iodine and Hydrochloric Gas (Hydrogen Chloride Gas) | |
Abstract: 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 domestic thresholds for anhydrous hydrogen chloride and iodine. Import and export transactions in anhydrous hydrogen chloride are unaffected by this rule. 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) and assigns the DEA chemical code number of 6699 for iodine. | |
