§ 814. Removal of exemption of certain drugs.

* (a) Removal of exemption

The Attorney General shall by regulation remove from exemption under section
802(39)(A)(iv) of this title a drug or group of drugs that the Attorney General finds is being
diverted to obtain a listed chemical for use in the illicit production of a controlled substance.

* (b) Factors to be considered

In removing a drug or group of drugs from exemption under subsection (a) of this section, the
Attorney General shall consider, with respect to a drug or group of drugs that is proposed to
be removed from exemption -

* (1) the scope, duration, and significance of the diversion;
* (2) whether the drug or group of drugs is formulated in such a way that it cannot be easily
used in the illicit production of a controlled substance; and
* (3) whether the listed chemical can be readily recovered from the drug or group of drugs.

* (c) Specificity of designation

The Attorney General shall limit the designation of a drug or a group of drugs removed from
exemption under subsection (a) of this section to the most particularly identifiable type of
drug or group of drugs for which evidence of diversion exists unless there is evidence, based
on the pattern of diversion and other relevant factors, that the diversion will not be limited to
that particular drug or group of drugs.

* (d) Reinstatement of exemption with respect to particular drug products
      o (1) Reinstatement On application by a manufacturer of a particular drug product that
has been removed from exemption under subsection (a) of this section, the Attorney General
shall by regulation reinstate the exemption with respect to that particular drug product if the
Attorney General determines that the particular drug product is manufactured and
distributed in a manner that prevents diversion.
      o (2) Factors to be considered In deciding whether to reinstate the exemption with
respect to a particular drug product under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall consider
-
            + (A) the package sizes and manner of packaging of the drug product;
            + (B) the manner of distribution and advertising of the drug product;
            + (C) evidence of diversion of the drug product;
            + (D) any actions taken by the manufacturer to prevent diversion of the drug
product; and
            + (E) such other factors as are relevant to and consistent with the public health and
safety, including the factors described in subsection (b) of this section as applied to the drug
product.
      o (3) Status pending application for reinstatement A transaction involving a particular
drug product that is the subject of a bona fide pending application for reinstatement of
exemption filed with the Attorney General not later than 60 days after a regulation removing
the exemption is issued pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall not be considered to
be a regulated transaction if the transaction occurs during the pendency of the application
and, if the Attorney General denies the application, during the period of 60 days following
the date on which the Attorney General denies the application, unless -
            + (A) the Attorney General has evidence that, applying the factors described in
subsection (b) of this section to the drug product, the drug product is being diverted; and
            + (B) the Attorney General so notifies the applicant.
      o (4) Amendment and modification A regulation reinstating an exemption under
paragraph (1) may be modified or revoked with respect to a particular drug product upon a
finding that -
            + (A) applying the factors described in subsection (b) of this section to the drug
product, the drug product is being diverted; or
            + (B) there is a significant change in the data that led to the issuance of the regulation.
