The first of the two routes. A practitioner already registered to research a schedule I or II substance may begin the research 30 days after sending the Attorney General a notice. For each substance the notice must give the chemical name, the quantity to be used, a demonstration that the research falls in the category described in paragraph (2), and a demonstration that the researcher is authorized to conduct the research under the law of the State where it will take place. The demonstration may be satisfied by identifying the sponsoring agency and supplying the number of the grant, contract, cooperative agreement, other transaction or project, or by supplying the application number and the sponsor of record on an application under section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

What the document actually says

“``(i) In general.--If a practitioner is registered to conduct research with a controlled substance in schedule I or II, the practitioner may conduct research under this subsection on and after the date that is 30 days after the date on which the practitioner sends a notice to the Attorney General containing the following information, with respect to each substance with which the practitioner will conduct the research:”

That sentence, in plain words

Some researchers are already signed up for these drugs. They send a notice with facts about the work. Thirty days later they can start.

What this is about

The notice goes to the Attorney General. It names the drug and how much is needed. It shows the work is of the right kind. It shows the State allows the work.

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.
