6 U.S.C. § 220 — Methamphetamine and methamphetamine precursor chemicals

(a) Compliance with performance plan requirements: As part of the yearly performance plan Customs and Border Protection includes in its budget submission under section 1115 of title 31, the Commissioner must set performance indicators for seizing methamphetamine and methamphetamine precursor chemicals, to measure how well the agency is doing at stopping illegal drugs from entering the United States. (b) Study and report relating to methamphetamine and methamphetamine precursor chemicals: (1) Analysis — The Commissioner must keep analyzing, on an ongoing basis, how methamphetamine and its precursor chemicals move into the United States. This analysis must: (A) look at how they enter — through ports of entry, between ports of entry, international mail, and international courier services; (B) examine how each foreign country where these shipments originate handles exports, and determine whether changes in that country's customs practices over time would cut down on these exports; and (C) identify new smuggling techniques and strategies as they emerge. (2) Report — By September 30, 2007, and every two years after that, the Commissioner — consulting with the Attorney General, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the State Department — must send a report to six committees: the Senate Finance Committee, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, the House International Relations Committee, and the House Judiciary Committee. That report must include: (A) a full summary of the analysis described in paragraph (1); and (B) a description of how Customs and Border Protection used that analysis to target shipments at high risk of smuggling or of circumventing the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005. (3) Availability of analysis — The Commissioner must make sure the Secretary of State receives this analysis in time to help the Secretary meet the Secretary's own reporting duties under section 722 of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005. (c) Definition: In this section, "methamphetamine precursor chemicals" means the chemicals ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylpropanolamine, including each of their salts, optical isomers, and salts of optical isomers.
