Abstract: In accordance with the Controlled Substance Act (CSA),
every person who manufactures, distributes, dispenses, conducts
research with, imports, or exports any controlled substance to obtain a
registration issued by the Attorney General. 21 U.S. 822, 823, and 957.
While DEA registrants are able to self-verify their registration
status, non-registrants do not have an obligation to register under the
CSA, and therefore does not have an automatic means to verify the
registration of a DEA-registrant. Non-registrants have obligations to
verify the registration statuses before doing things such as hiring
practitioners, paying for controlled substance prescriptions covered by
Medicaid or Medicare, and
[[Page 77896]]
other means that are apart of commerce. This proposed collection would
allow non-registrants to register for access to the CSA Database
System, which gives the names and registration statuses of all DEA-
registrants. Applicants would be required to re-apply annually by
completing this form and submitting to DEA.
