On October 17, 2001, DEA published a Final Rulemaking (66 FR 52670) in which DEA added red phosphorus, white phosphorus (also known as yellow phosphorus) and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts) as List I chemicals. This action was taken because of the use and importance of these chemicals in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine (a Schedule II controlled substance). As List I chemicals, handlers of these materials became subject to Controlled Substances Act (CSA) chemical regulatory controls including registration, recordkeeping, reporting, and import/export requirements. DEA had determined that these controls are necessary to prevent the diversion of these chemicals to clandestine drug laboratories. In order to provide flexibility for legitimate businesses, the October 17, 2001 rule established, on an interim basis, specific exclusions and waivers for chemical handlers engaged in certain activities. DEA has completed its review of comments pertaining to these interim provisions. This rulemaking finalizes these exclusions and waivers related to the handling of the listed chemicals red phosphorus, white phosphorus, and hypophosphorous acid (and its salts).
2001年10月17日，美国药品管理局（DEA）发布了一项最终规则制定文件（66联邦法规52670），其中将红磷、白磷（也称为黄磷）和次磷酸（及其盐类）列为第一类化学品。采取这一行动是因为这些化学品在非法制造甲基苯丙胺（一种附表二受管制物质）中的用途和重要性。作为第一类化学品，这些物质的处理者须遵守《受控物质法》（CSA）的化学品监管规定，包括注册、记录保存、报告以及进出口要求。美国药品管理局已确定这些管制措施对于防止这些化学品流入秘密毒品实验室是必要的。为了给合法企业提供灵活性，2001年10月17日的规则临时确立了针对从事某些活动的化学品处理者的特定排除和豁免规定。美国药品管理局已完成对与这些临时规定相关评论的审查。本规则制定最终确定了与处理所列化学品红磷、白磷和次磷酸（及其盐类）相关的这些排除和豁免规定。
