Sec. 1308.47  Control of immediate precursors.

    Pursuant to section 201(e) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 811(e)), the 
Administrator may, without regard to the findings required by subsection 
201(a) or 202 (b) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 811(a) or 812(b)) and without 
regard to the procedures prescribed by Sec. 1308.41 or subsections 201 
(a) and (b) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 811(a) and (b)), issue and publish in 
the Federal Register an order controlling an immediate precursor. The 
order shall designate the schedule in which the immediate precursor is 
to be placed, which shall be the same schedule in which the controlled 
substance of which it is an immediate precursor is placed or any other 
schedule with a higher numerical designation. An order controlling an 
immediate precursor shall become effective 30 days from the date of 
publication in the Federal Register, unless the Administrator finds that 
conditions of public health or safety necessitate an earlier effective 
date, in which event the Administrator shall specify in the order his 
findings as to such conditions.
