[Pharmwaste] Safe Disposal Act rules/EPA pharm waste mgmt rules

Wed Jun 4 15:19:06 EDT 2014

Hi all,

The RegInfo cited below states DEA's final action was anticipated 5/00/14;
EPA's second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for pharm waste mgmt is slated
for 12/00/14.  Big difference-DEA's is final rule, EPA's is proposed rule.  

Very truly yours,

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
<http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201404&RIN=1117-AB18
> &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
<http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201404&RIN=2050-AG39
> &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,
