The Attorney General has 30 days to refuse
What the document says“``(D) the Attorney General does not, within 30 days of receiving the information, authorization, and affirmation described in subparagraph (C), refuse, for a reason listed in section 304(a), to allow the agent or employee to possess the substance without a separate registration.''.”
The last condition. The exemption holds only if the Attorney General does not refuse it within 30 days of receiving the information, authorization and affirmation, and any refusal must rest on a reason listed in section 304(a) of the Controlled Substances Act. What those reasons are is in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says“``(D) the Attorney General does not, within 30 days of receiving the information, authorization, and affirmation described in subparagraph (C), refuse, for a reason listed in section 304(a), to allow the agent or employee to possess the substance without a separate registration.''.”
The Attorney General has 30 days to say no. A no must rest on a reason set out in the older law. If no answer comes, the second person may hold the drug.
The clock starts when the papers arrive. The papers are the ones the first researcher sends. Silence means the exemption holds.
