Chemical Handler's Manual: A Guide to Chemical Control Regulations
(2002 Edition; 38 pp)

Author: Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC
Abstract: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is pleased to provide the Chemical Handler's Manual to assist you in understanding the provisions of the chemical control laws and their implementing regulations. These laws, including the Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act of 1988, the Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993, the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996, and the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act (part of the Children's Health Act of 2000) amend the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA). This manual will answer questions you may have concerning your responsibilities under the Controlled Substances Act and provide you with guidance in complying with its regulations. It is also a resource for industry, law enforcement, regulators, and others interested in chemical control. Drug abuse damages individuals and families and diminishes the fabric of a community and nation. Drug traffickers, motivated by the desire for profit, are eager to divert chemicals from legitimate commerce to manufacture illicit controlled substances. The chemical control laws and regulations provide a strong and effective deterrence. Your adherence to the law and active support for diversion control make you an important partner in protecting our nation's health and safety.
