

N-(1-(4-methylphenethyl)piperidin-4-yl)-N-phenylacetamide (4'-methyl acetyl fentanyl);



N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N,3-diphenylpropanamide (β'-phenyl fentanyl; beta'-Phenyl fentanyl; 3-phenylpropanoyl fentanyl);



N-phenyl-N-(1-(2-phenylpropyl)piperidin-4-yl)propionamide (β-methyl fentanyl);



N-(2-fluorophenyl)-N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)butyramide (ortho-fluorobutyryl fentanyl; 2-fluorobutyryl fentanyl);



N-(2-methylphenyl)-N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)acetamide (ortho-methyl acetylfentanyl; 2-methyl acetylfentanyl);



2-methoxy-N-(2-methylphenyl)-N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)acetamide (ortho-methyl methoxyacetylfentanyl; 2-methyl methoxyacetyl fentanyl);



N-(4-methylphenyl)-N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)propionamide (para-methylfentanyl; 4-methylfentanyl);





N-(1-phenethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-phenylthiophene-2-carboxamide (thiofuranyl fentanyl; 2-thiofuranyl fentanyl; thiophene fentanyl).

2. The Controlled Substances Board did not receive an objection to similarly treating the ten (10) Fentanyl-related substances listed in schedule I under ch. 961, Stats. within 30 days of the date of publication in the federal register of the final order designating the ten (10) Fentanyl-related substances listed above as controlled substances.
