ABSTRACT

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is providing interested persons with the opportunity to submit comments concerning abuse potential, actual abuse, medical usefulness, trafficking, and impact of scheduling changes on availability for medical use of eight drug substances. These comments will be considered in preparing a response from the United States to the Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) regarding the abuse liability and diversion of these drugs. The ECDD will use this information to consider whether to recommend that certain international restrictions be placed on these drug substances. This notice requesting comments is required by the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
