Ninety days to apply when a substance is newly added to schedule I
What the document says“If a person is conducting research on a substance when the substance is added to schedule I, and the person is already registered to conduct research with a controlled substance in schedule I-- ``(1) not later than 90 days after the scheduling of the newly scheduled substance, the person shall submit a completed application for registration or modification of existing registration, to conduct research on the substance, in accordance with regulations issued by the Attorney General for purposes of this paragraph;”
The opening of a new subsection (h) added at the end of section 302 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 822). Where a substance a person is already researching is added to schedule I, and that person is already registered for a schedule I substance, they must apply within 90 days for registration or for a modification of an existing registration covering the substance.
What the document actually says“If a person is conducting research on a substance when the substance is added to schedule I, and the person is already registered to conduct research with a controlled substance in schedule I-- ``(1) not later than 90 days after the scheduling of the newly scheduled substance, the person shall submit a completed application for registration or modification of existing registration, to conduct research on the substance, in accordance with regulations issued by the Attorney General for purposes of this paragraph;”
A drug can be added to the strictest list while work on it goes on. The researcher then has 90 days to file papers. The papers ask to keep working with it.
This law adds a whole group of drugs to that list at once. Some of them were being studied already. This rule is about that gap.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
