DHS is drafting a proposed rule that could mandate electronic export manifest for all cargo leaving the U.S. by rail, according to the agency’s recently released fall 2023 regulatory agenda. The proposed rule would require filers of that electronic export information to “identify the parties eligible to transmit information, describe the time frames prior to departure of the train in which the information is due, and identify an initial filing that must occur 24 hours prior to departure from the port of export while requiring that remaining data be transmitted at least two hours prior to such departure.”
The Drug Enforcement Administration is setting 2024 quotas for the manufacture and importation of controlled substances in Schedules I and II of the Controlled Substances Act, it said in a notice released Dec. 29. Substances not listed in the table included in DEA's notice will have a quota of zero. DEA is also setting quotas for the List I chemicals ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine and pseudoephedrine. The order is effective Jan. 3.
