Proposed rule published by Justice Department on March 18

The US Justice Department published an eight page proposed rule on March 18, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Schedules of Controlled Substances: Placement of Four Specific Fentanyl-Related Substances in Schedule I.

The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
