Schedules of Controlled Substances: Proposed Removal of Fenfluramine From the Controlled Substances Act; Withdrawal of Proposed Rule
Traducción automática local · Idioma original de la fuente
Resumen
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is withdrawing a proposed rule that appeared in the Federal Register of May 6, 1997 (62 FR 24620) and is terminating the rulemaking. The proposed rule would have removed fenfluramine from schedule IV of the Controlled Substances Act. The drug's manufacturer has withdrawn its original petition that requested decontrol. DEA has determined that fenfluramine should remain in schedule IV due to the withdrawal of the petition, the removal of products containing the drug from the United States marketplace, and the public health and safety concerns expressed by the Department of Health and Human Services that arose after publication of the proposed rule.
