21 U.S.C. § 826 and 21 CFR §§ 1303.12
and 1315.32 require that U.S. companies who desire to use any basic
class of controlled substances listed in Schedule I or II or the
List I chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and
phenylpropanolamine for purposes of manufacturing during the next
calendar year shall apply on DEA Form 250 for procurement quota for
such class or List I chemical.
US Code:

USC 826 Name of Law: Production Quotas for Controlled
Substances
The Combat Methamphetmaine
Epidemic Act of 2005 (Title VII of Pub. L. 109-177) amended the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 826) to require the
establishment of production quotas for the List I chemicals
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and phenylpropanolamine. An additional
240 firms will need to apply for individual procurement quotas to
comply with the Controlled Substances Act as amended. The 240 hour
annual burden increase is a result of this statutory change.
