REMOVAL OF EXEMPTION OF CERTAIN DRUGS 
SEC. 204. ΓΈ21 U.S.C. 814¿ (a) REMOVAL OF EXEMPTION.—The Attorney General shall by regulation remove from exemption under section 102(39)(A)(iv) 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), the Attorney General shall consider, with respect to a drug or group of drugs that is pro- posed 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 produc- tion of a controlled substance; and 
(3) whether the listed chemical can be readily recovered from the drug or group of drugs.
(c) S
PECIFICITY OF DESIGNATION.—The Attorney General shall 
limit the designation of a drug or a group of drugs removed from exemption under subsection (a) 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 PAR- TICULAR DRUG PRODUCTS.— 
(1) REINSTATEMENT.—On application by a manufacturer of a particular drug product that has been removed from exemp- tion under subsection (a), the Attorney General shall by regu- lation reinstate the exemption with respect to that particular drug product if the Attorney General determines that the par- ticular drug product is manufactured and distributed in a man- ner that prevents diversion.

(2) FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED.—In deciding whether to reinstate the exemption with respect to a particular drug prod- uct 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 de- scribed in subsection (b) as applied to the drug product.
(3) S
TATUS PENDING APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT.—A 
transaction involving a particular drug product that is the sub- ject of a bona fide pending application for reinstatement of ex- emption filed with the Attorney General not later than 60 days after a regulation removing the exemption is issued pursuant to subsection (a) 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 applica- tion, 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) to the drug product, the drug product is being diverted; and 
(B) the Attorney General so notifies the applicant.
(4) A
MENDMENT AND MODIFICATION.—A regulation rein- stating an exemption under paragraph (1) may be modified or revoked with respect to a particular drug product upon a find- 
ing that—
(A) applying the factors described in subsection (b) 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.

RULES AND REGULATIONS 
SEC. 301. ΓΈ21 U.S.C. 821¿ The Attorney General is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations and to charge reasonable fees 
27 Prior to the enactment of Public Law 100–690, section 310 of this title concerned reporting requirements regarding the distribution, sale, or import of piperidine. Section 6052 of such Pub- lic Law (102 Stat. 4312) amended section 310 in its entirety, with the result that the section now concerns reporting requirements related to listed chemicals, tableting machines, and encap- sulating machines. Section 6054 of such Public Law (102 Stat. 4316) made amendments to the definitions in section 102 of this title, including establishing definitions for the terms ‘‘listed chemical’’ and ‘‘listed precursor chemical’’. Piperidine and its salts were included as listed pre- cursor chemicals. 
Section 2(a) of Public Law 103–200 (107 Stat. 2333) made amendments to the definitions in section 102 of this title, including replacing the term ‘‘listed precursor chemical’’ with the term ‘‘list I chemical’’. Piperidine and its salts are currently included as list I chemicals. See section 102(34)(J). 
Section 2(a) of such Public Law also replaced the term ‘‘listed essential chemical’’ with the term ‘‘list II chemical’’.
