Attorney General: Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act 2014 Additions

To Whom It May Concern:

The Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2014 (DASCA 2014) empowered the United States Attorney General with the ability to emergency/temporarily schedule and permanently schedule compounds deemed to be anabolic steroids that were previously unscheduled. I am requesting, under the Freedom of Information Act, all documents generated (expert reports, scientific reports, internal communications, and communications with outside agents and agencies) by the Attorney General and/or the Office of the Attorney General, that mention this act. I am seeking to determine how many times this power has been used, or the Act discussed, from the date it took effect (12/18/2014) through today (7/7/17). In addition I am seeking the documents and data generated that led to this power being used or not used, in each individual instance that scheduling a new steroid was considered.

I am a professional journalist, the requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. I would like any fees waived as a member of the professional media.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

anthony roberts
