Section 1313.15 Waiver of 15-day advance notice for regular importers.

(a) Each regulated person seeking designation as a "regular importer'' shall provide, by certified mail return receipt requested, to the Administration such information as is required under Sec. 1313.08 documenting their status as a regular importer. 

(b) Each regulated person making application under paragraph (a) of this section shall be considered a "regular importer" for purposes of waiving the 15-day advance notice, 30 days after receipt of the application by the Administration, as indicated on the return receipt, unless the regulated person is otherwise notified in writing by the Administration.

(c) The Administrator, may, at any time, disqualify a regulated person's status as a regular importer on the grounds that the chemical being imported may be diverted to the clandestine manufacture of a controlled substance.

(d) Unless the Administration notifies the chemical importer to the contrary, the qualification of a regular importer of any one of these three chemicals, acetone, 2-Butanone (MEK), or toluene, qualifies that importer as a regular importer of all three of these chemicals.

(e) All chemical importers shall be required to file a DEA Form 486 as required by Section 1313.12.
