Abstract: The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 (CMEA),
which is Title VII of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization
Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-177), requires that on and after September 30,
2006, a regulated seller must not sell at retail over the counter (non-
prescription) products containing the List I chemicals ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine, unless it has self-certified
to DEA, through DEA's website. The Methamphetamine Production
Prevention Act of 2008 (MPPA) (Pub. L. 110-415) was enacted in 2008 to
clarify the information entry and signature requirements for electronic
logbook systems permitted for the retail sale of scheduled listed
chemical products.
