DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than

collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Registrant Record of Controlled
Substances Destroyed.
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: DEA From 41. The

4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Affected public (Primary): Private Sector--business or other for-
profit.
Affected public (Other): Not-for-profit institutions; Federal,
State, local, and tribal governments.
Abstract: In accordance with the Controlled Substance Act (CSA),
every DEA registrant must make a biennial inventory and maintain, on a
current basis, a complete and accurate record of each controlled
substance manufactured, received, sold, delivered, or otherwise
disposed of. 21 U.S.C. 827 and 958. These records must be maintained
separately from all other records of the registrant or, alternatively,
in the case of non-narcotic controlled substances, be in such form that
required information is readily retrievable from the ordinary business
records of the registrant per 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(2). The records must be
kept and be available for at least two years for inspection and copying
by officers or employees of the United States authorized by the
Attorney General. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(3). The records must be in
accordance with and contain such relevant information as may be
required by regulations promulgated by DEA. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(1). These
record requirements help to deter and detect diversion of controlled
substances and ensure that registrants remain accountable for all
controlled substances within their possession and/or control.
