Justice Department Briefing 2026-07-29 Estimated reading time: 7 minutes 1. Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed eCollection, eComments Requested; Proposed New Collection Request; Title-Suspicious Orders of Controlled Substances Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/29/2026-15317/agency-information-collection-activities-proposed-ecollection-ecomments-requested-proposed-new Sub: Justice Department Content: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Department of Justice (DOJ), will be submitting the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 2.

The proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register, 91 FR 25448, on May 8, 2026, allowing a 60-day comment period. This interim notice informs the public that ATF is requesting that OMB extend the existing ICR 1140- 0020 without change. ATF will be publishing the usual second notice for a 30-day public comment period on proposed changes to the ICR thereafter. ATF received comments on the proposed changes to Form 4473 under this ICR that it needs some time to address. In addition, because some of the proposed changes and comments reflect proposed revisions to associated regulations \1\ whose public comment period does not end until a month after the 60-day ICR comment period ended, ATF needs additional time to assess those comments as well. However, the existing ICR is expiring at the end of August and thus does not afford sufficient time before it expires. As a result, ATF is publishing this interim notice to inform the public that it will be requesting that OMB extend the existing ICR without change while it addresses public comments, and will follow up with the normal 30-day notice to complete the PRA renewal process for the ICR's proposed changes. The request to extend the existing ICR is necessary to ensure continuity while ATF considers the public comments, so that federal firearms licensees continue to have a valid form on which to record firearms transactions in accordance with applicable regulations. In the subsequent 30-day notice, ATF will summarize as usual the public comments it received on the ICR's proposed changes, provide responses, and note any changes that might result. The public will have 30 days to then submit comments to OMB on the ICR, as per the usual PRA process. ————————————————————————— 4. Gene M.

Designation of Phenethyl Halides as List I Chemicals Link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/09/2026-13825/designation-of-phenethyl-halides-as-list-i-chemicals Sub: Justice Department, Drug Enforcement Administration Content: The Drug Enforcement Administration is proposing the control of phenethyl halides as list I chemicals under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Phenethyl halides are important to the illicit manufacture of fentanyl, as well as fentanyl analogues, and fentanyl- related substances as they are often used in synthetic routes to manufacture these substances. Further, in the respective synthetic routes in which they are used to manufacture fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and fentanyl-related substances, various phenethyl halides, such as phenethyl bromide and phenethyl chloride, can be substituted for each other. If finalized, the proposed rule would subject handlers of phenethyl halides to the chemical regulatory provisions of the CSA and its implementing regulations. This proposed rulemaking does not establish a threshold for domestic and international transactions of phenethyl halides. As such, all transactions of phenethyl halides regardless of size or concentration, shall be regulated and would be subject to control under the CSA.

Currently, applicants must submit 2″ x 2″ passport-style photographs and either one or two fingerprint cards, depending on the application type. ATF proposes that all applicants, whether individuals or responsible persons (“RPs”) for entity applicants, could instead submit a copy of a photo ID, and that individuals and Gun Control Act RPs would submit just one fingerprint card. RPs under the National Firearms Act would submit one fingerprint card only if needed to facilitate a background check. 4.

ATF also proposes to amend manufacturer registration requirements to include a provision granting relief to manufacturers from registering firearms they manufacture for the U.S. Government (“USG”). In conjunction with this, ATF is proposing a new provision permitting manufacturers to register such firearms “late”–after the existing regulatory window for registering manufactured firearms–if they fall out of USG contract. 5.

This action is being taken, in part, to enable the United States to meet its obligations under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. If finalized, this action would impose the regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, reverse distribute, import, export, engage in research, conduct instructional activities or chemical analysis with, or possess) or propose to handle diphenidine. 3.

If finalized, these products would be removed from DEA's Table of Exempted Prescription Products list, and they would no longer be considered exempt prescription products under the Controlled Substances Act. This action will not impact exempted prescription products with active NDC numbers. Legal Disclaimer This article includes content collected from the Federal Register (federalregister.gov).

This system enables the Division to more efficiently review and process reports to determine whether a report may contain information that supports further inquiry by CRT or pertains to ongoing investigations and legal proceedings on various issues related to protecting civil rights. This system will also allow the Division to provide status updates to the public, track portal metrics, and analyze progress on the concerns raised by the reports.

The final rule implemented a new single sheet format for DEA Form 222 and provided for a two-year transition period to switch from the triplicate form. This technical amendment corrects certain regulations erroneously not amended in the final rule which creates ambiguities. The amendment clarifies that a DEA Form 222 Power of Attorney may only be executed or revoked by a registrant, a partner of the registrant, or an officer of a registrant corporate entity. It resolves ambiguity over who may sign a DEA Form 222 and removes the obsolete transition provision for the triplicate version of DEA Form 222. These are conforming revisions that do not make any substantive changes to the regulations. Legal Disclaimer This article includes content collected from the Federal Register (federalregister.gov).
