title: Schedules of Controlled Substances: Extension of Temporary Placement of Three Synthetic Phenethylamines in Schedule I. Final order.
abstract: The Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is issuing this final order extending the temporary schedule I status for three synthetic phenethylamines into the Controlled Substances Act pursuant to the temporary scheduling provisions of the Act. The substances are: 2-(4-iodo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25I-NBOMe; 2C-I-NBOMe; 25I; Cimbi-5), 2-(4-chloro-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25C-NBOMe; 2C-C-NBOMe; 25C; Cimbi-82), and 2-(4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-(2-methoxybenzyl)ethanamine (25B-NBOMe; 2C-B-NBOMe; 25B; Cimbi-36) [hereinafter 25I-NBOMe, 2C-NBOMe, and 25-NBOMe, respectively]. The initial temporary scheduling was based on a finding by the Deputy Administrator that the placement of these synthetic phenethylamines and their optical, positional, and geometric isomers, salts, and salts of isomers into schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety. The current final order temporarily placing 25I-NBOMe, 25C-NBOMe, and 25B-NBOMe in schedule I is due to expire on November 14, 2015. This final order will extend the temporary scheduling of 25I-NBOMe, 25C-NBOMe, and 25B-NBOMe for one year, or until the permanent scheduling action for these three substances is completed, whichever occurs first. As a result of this order, the full effect of the Controlled Substances Act and its implementing regulations, including criminal, civil and administrative penalties, sanctions, and regulatory controls of schedule I substances will be imposed on the manufacture, distribution, possession, importation, and exportation of these synthetic phenethylamines.
