proposed information collection instruments as statutorily mandated by

have completed the new training requirements set forth in the

registrants is not equally distributed between years. The growth rate in the number of practitioners is low
enough where the actual numbers for this period would not be materially different from the number expected for
the next several years.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the proposed collection: DEA estimates that this collection takes
136,128 annual burden hours.
