  • 2020-27759 — Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations: Additions to Schedule 1(A) of the Annex on Chemicals to the Chemical Weapons Convention
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 936
    Reading Time:about 26 minutes

    The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a final rule to update the Chemical Weapons Convention Regulations (CWCR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) by adding certain chemical families and an individual chemical to “Schedule 1” of the CWC Annex on Chemicals. These changes reflect decisions made during an international conference and clarify the definition of "production" under the CWCR. The updates ensure the U.S. complies with international obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, but are not expected to significantly impact U.S. industry due to limited commercial applications of the newly added chemicals.

    Simple Explanation

    The government updated the rules about some special chemicals to make sure the U.S. is following international rules about stopping bad chemicals that can hurt people, but this doesn’t really change much for American companies because these chemicals are not used a lot here.

  • 2024-30359 — Schedules of Controlled Substances: Placement of 4-Chloromethcathinone in Schedule I
    đź’°
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 106376
    Reading Time:about 37 minutes

    The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing to place the substance 4-chloromethcathinone (4-CMC) in schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. This move aims to impose strict regulations similar to other highly controlled drugs, as 4-CMC is known to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use in the U.S. The decision also helps the United States comply with international agreements on psychotropic substances. Public comments on this proposal are accepted until January 29, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The DEA wants to treat a drug called 4-CMC like other dangerous drugs because it's risky and doesn't have a medical purpose. They also want to follow international rules about such drugs.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105447
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final rule concerning drug and alcohol testing for certificated repair station employees located outside the United States. However, the initial rule incorrectly described the memberships of two commenters. This correction clarifies that the 17 supporting commenters include various transportation labor groups, a pilots' union, a trade association, a directory service, a software provider, and several individuals. The corrections are effective on January 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA fixed a small mistake in a rule about drug and alcohol tests for airplane repair workers in other countries. They made sure to list correctly who said they liked the rule, so everyone would know who agreed with it.
