Waiver of Advance Notification Requirement To Import Acetone, 2-Butanone (MEK), and Toluene

Streszczenie

This rule finalizes, without change, the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2000, (65 FR 63822; as corrected at 65 FR 67796, November 13, 2000) to amend DEA regulations to waive the advance notification requirement to import the solvents acetone, 2-Butanone (MEK), and toluene, which are regulated as List II chemicals. DEA determined that the advance notification requirement is not necessary for these chemicals for effective chemical diversion control. No comments to the NPRM were received. This change to the regulations will ease regulatory burdens for the regulated industry and administrative burdens for DEA.
