WASHINGTON, DC, January
10, 2005 - ICF
Consulting has been awarded a contract to continue providing
regulatory support services to the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), Office of Diversion Control (OD).
Under this 3-year, $1.8 million award, ICF Consulting will
review, analyze, and assist DEA in updating regulations
to respond to technology advances as well as new statutory
mandates. DEA's regulations govern the legal import, export,
manufacture, distribution, and dispensing of controlled
substances and the handling of chemicals that can be used
to produce illegal drugs.
"We are excited about continuing
this important work with DEA," said David Bruce,
Senior Vice President and director of the firm’s
regulatory support business. "Rapid
changes in technology, the science of controlled substances,
and the nature of drug trafficking require well thought-out
updates to the regulations and rules."
"ICF Consulting is a national leader
in the field of regulatory support and has worked with
DEA’s
Office of Diversion Control since 1999," continued
Bruce. "Our
deep understanding of the regulatory process is based on
more than twenty years of experience working with federal
agencies on hundreds of rulemakings."
ICF Consulting offers a full range of regulatory support
services. The firm prepares the analyses required of regulatory
agencies, including analyses addressing costs, benefits,
economic impacts, small entity impacts, paperwork burden,
environmental impact under NEPA, and environmental justice.
The firm also provides drafting support, technical analysis
and research, policy analysis, and comment summarization
and analysis and helps prepare communications, outreach,
and training programs related to regulatory efforts. ICF
Consulting’s staff come from a broad range of disciplines
including economics, law, business and finance, policy,
engineering, health sciences, and natural sciences.
