The Department of Health and Human Services provided the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) with a scheduling recommendation to place cipepofol, chemically known as 2-[(1R)-1-cyclopropylethyl]-6- isopropylphenol, in schedule IV of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). In accordance with the CSA, as amended by the Improving Regulatory Transparency for New Medical Therapies Act, DEA is hereby issuing an interim final rule placing cipepofol in schedule IV of the CSA.
