[Pharmwaste] RE: it's June, and the DEA's final regulation is???

Noooooooooooo.
These do not have to be connected and this could delay it far further out than December. Those rules were not well received when initially published and I'm not sure how they'd get the issues related to that set of rules resolved by December...let alone make them fully compatible
I hope I'm wrong, or that William is wrong and that the sky is not falling.

The unified agenda at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201404&RIN=1117-AB18  says "05/00/2014" (i.e., last month). Probably the December date came from the unified agenda entry for EPA's Pharm Rule (at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201404&RIN=2050-AG39 ), which is a different rulemaking.

Hi pharmwaste listserv folks,
Is anyone hearing anything tangible from DEA or OMB or any of the feds about timing of release of final regulation for disposal of controlled substances by medicine take-back programs?
DOJ advanced the final draft rule to OMB on 2/25/14.  My understanding is that OMB then should then complete its review in 90 days, or request a 30 day extension, or send the draft rule back to DOJ for modification.
My calendar reads June 2nd today...more than 90 days from Feb. 25th.   Does anyone know if any of those actions have happened?
A number of agencies and organizations sent emails to DEA and OMB in mid to late April asking about the timeframe for release of the final rule after it did not appear in March as stated in the last Federal Register announcement. I’ve not heard of any responses to our requests for information.
Please share any info you have with the listserv, or to me directly.
Thanks all,
