The Honorable Charles F. Reid, Clerk
South Carolina House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Mr. Reid:
Enclosed, please find the S.C. Board of Health and Environmental Control's (Department) designation of the synthetic N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide(cyclo propyl fentanyl), and its isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers in schedule I of the South Carolina Controlled Substances Act. The Board has taken this action at its meeting on January 30, 2018, pursuant to S.C. Code Section 44-53-160(C), which authorizes the Department to designate a substance as a controlled substance by scheduling it in accordance with an order effecting federal scheduling as a controlled substance.
On January 4, 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued a temporary scheduling order to schedule the synthetic opioid, N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide (cyclopropyl fentanyl), and its isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers in schedule I. Federal Register, Volume 83, Number 3, pp. 469-472; https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-01-04/pdf/2017-28470.pdf.
The substances listed in Schedule I are those that have a high potential for abuse, no currently acceptable medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Cyclopropyl fentanyl has emerged on the illicit drug market and is being misused and abused for its opioid properties. Cyclopropyl fentanyl exhibits pharmacological profiles similar to that of fentanyl and other [micro]-opioid receptor agonists. The abuse of cyclopropyl fentanyl poses significant adverse health risks when compared to abuse of pharmaceutical preparations of opioid analgesics, such as morphine and oxycodone. The toxic effects of cyclopropyl fentanyl in humans are demonstrated by overdose fatalities involving this substance.
The Department makes this notification in accordance with S.C. Code Section 44-53-160(C), requiring that the Department notify the General Assembly in writing of the change in federal law or regulation and of the corresponding change in South Carolina law. Schedule I controlled substances are found in S.C. Code Section 44-53-190.
As required by law, the enclosed Board Order has been posted on the agency website.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Rick Caldwell
Legislative Affairs
Whereas, pursuant to S.C. Code Section 44-53-160(C), the South Carolina Board of Health and Environmental Control (Board) is authorized to add a substance as a controlled substance if the Federal government has so designated; and
Whereas, on January 4, 2018, the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration issued a temporary scheduling order to schedule the synthetic opioid, N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide (cyclopropyl fentanyl), and its isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers in schedule I. Federal Register, Volume 83, Number 3, pp. 469-472; https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-01-04/pdf/2017-28470.pdf; and
Whereas, substances listed in Schedule I are those that have a high potential for abuse, no currently acceptable medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. The DEA conducted its own review and determined that cyclopropyl fentanyl met the criteria for placement in schedule I of the federal CSA because a review of available data showed it had a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use in treatment under medical supervision.; and
Whereas, with no legitimate medical use, cyclopropyl fentanyl has emerged on the illicit drug market and is being misused and abused for its opioid properties. Cyclopropyl fentanyl exhibits pharmacological profiles similar to that of fentanyl and other [micro]-opioid receptor agonists. The abuse of cyclopropyl fentanyl poses significant adverse health risks when compared to abuse of pharmaceutical preparations of opioid analgesics, such as morphine and oxycodone. The toxic effects of cyclopropyl fentanyl in humans are demonstrated by overdose fatalities involving this substance.; and
Whereas, cyclopropyl fentanyl has been associated with numerous fatalities. At least 115 confirmed overdose deaths involving cyclopropyl fentanyl abuse have been reported from Georgia (1), Maryland (24), Mississippi (1), North Carolina (75), and Wisconsin (14) in 2017. As the data demonstrate, the potential for fatal and non-fatal overdoses exists for cyclopropyl fentanyl and this substance poses an imminent hazard to the public safety.; and
Therefore, the Board of Health and Environmental Control adopts the federal scheduling of cyclopropyl fentanyl and amends Section 44-53-190 by adding and designating into Schedule I of the South Carolina Controlled Substances Act: N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide (cyclopropyl fentanyl), and its isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters, and ethers.

(B) The surety bond provided in subsection (A) must:
