(d) Diethyl malonate;
(e) D-lysergic acid;

(i) Ethyl malonate;
(j) Ethylephedrine;
(k) Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL);

(2) The board finds that the reference to methylformanide in RCW 69.43.010, was intended to refer to methylformamide and corrects that reference by deleting "methylformanide" and adding "methylformamide." This change is based upon the finding that this revision conforms to the tests set forth in RCW 69.43.010(2).
(3) Registrants should be aware that precursor substances in subsection (1)(a), (f), (k), (l), (n), (o), (p), (t), and (w) of this section are also regulated as schedule II immediate precursors pursuant to WAC 246-887-150 and all applicable rules and laws governing the distribution of schedule II controlled substances must also be complied with.
