Title 21 CFR §§ 1312.21 and 1312.22
require persons who export controlled substances in Schedules I and
II and who reexport controlled substances in Schedules I and II and
narcotic controlled substances in Schedules III and IV to obtain a
permit from DEA. Information is used to issue export permits,
exercise control over exportation of controlled substances, and
compile data for submission to the United Nations to comply with
treaty requirements.
US Code:
21
USC 953 Name of Law: Substances Export Reform Act of 2005
US Code: 21 USC 953 Name of Law: Controlled
Substances Import and Export Act
There has been a program
change. The Controlled Substances Export Reform Act of 2005 (Pub.
L. 109-57) permits the exportation of Schedule I and II and
narcotic Schedule III and IV controlled substances to a country for
subsequent exportation to a second country and requires
documentation that the controlled substances have been reexported
to a second country. Previous law did not allow this. Because of
this change, DEA has created a new Form 161r, Application for
Permit to Export Controlled Substances for Subsequent Reexport.
Further, DEA is requiring that persons reexporting controlled
substances notify DEA of the initial export of those controlled
substances to the first country, necessitating an increase in hour
burden of 100 hours. Finally, changes made by Pub. L. 109-57
require that certification of reexportation be provided to DEA;
this certification is a new aspect of this collection,
necessitating an increase in hour burden of 300 hours. Although DEA
estimates that it takes 15 more minutes (0.25 more hours) to
complete DEA Form 161r, Application for Permit to Export Controlled
Substances for Subsequent Reexport, as compared with DEA Form 161,
Application for Permit to Export Controlled Substances, this
increase in time for the new Form 161r is offset by the need to
submit fewer DEA Forms 161. Previously, reexportation of Schedule I
and II controlled substances and narcotic controlled substances in
Schedule III and IV, was not permitted; persons exporting
controlled substances sent them to the actual country of
destination, rather than sending them to one country and then
reexporting them to the (second) country of destination. Thus,
individual DEA Forms 161 were required to handle each individual
country of destination. DEA anticipates fewer DEA Forms 161 being
submitted now that reexportation of these specific controlled
substances is permitted.
