  1. DEA Chemical Program

  2. DEA Chemical Program Mission • Reduce the supply of illicit drugs and diverted chemicals by disrupting and dismantling the operations and financial infrastructures of major trafficking organizations.

  3. DEA Chemical Program Strategy • To deny precursor chemicals  - raw products and chemicals – to drug trafficking organizations and, at the same time, to ensure an adequate supply for commercial licit markets. 

  4. Listed Chemicals on 2 Lists • List 1 chemicals are important in illegally manufacturing a controlled substance. • 29 chemicals including: • Iodine, Methylamine, Ephedrine, Hydriodic acid, Phenylpropanolamine, Red & White phosphorus and Pseudoephedrine. • Google: “DEA listed chemicals” for complete list.

  5. Listed Chemicals on 2 Lists • List 2 chemicals are chemicals other than List 1 chemicals used in illegally manufacturing a controlled substance. • 11 chemicals including: • Acetic anhydride, Acetone, Hydrochloric acid, Methyl ethyl ketone, Potassium permanganate and Toluene. • Google: “DEA listed chemicals” for complete list.

  6. Iodine Exemption • Only transactions involving iodine crystals are covered. • Iodine tinctures and formulations are considered chemical mixtures, and at present are not regulated as listed chemicals.

  7. Hydrochloric Acid Exemption • Dealings in HCl as regulated transactions are excluded, in effect making it not subject to regulation. • However, anhydrous (gas) form – anhydrous hydrogen chloride – is subject to controls, except for: domestic distribution of the chemical in a single container at 12,000 lbs or more and domestic distribution by pipeline.

  8. Threshold Amounts • DEA has indicated threshold amounts for which the regulations apply. • Some chemicals have no threshold and are regulated at any amount (white phosphorus) • Others have high thresholds (Sulfuric acid, 50 gal)

  9. Who needs to be DEA registered? • An individual, corporation, or other person who manufacturers, distributes, imports, or exports a listed chemical above threshold amounts.

  10. Importing Listed Chemicals • Principal Investigators need to be DEA registered if importing/exporting listed materials above threshold amounts. • Attempts to import/export without DEA registration may cost $$$ and loss of materials.

  11. Ordering Listed Chemicals • Principal Investigators do NOT need to be registered to order listed chemicals from a domestic distributer. • Suppliers (e.g. Sigma) will be registered and may request a completed Authorized Purchaser form.

  12. End User Authorization Form • Requires Authorization Signature of Contact person (VP, Director, Manager, Chair, etc.) should be the PI signature. • EHS does not sign off on these forms, nor does Procurement.
