SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Abstract: The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 801-971)
requires all persons that manufacture, distribute, dispense, conduct
research with, import, or export any controlled substance to obtain a
registration issued by the Attorney General. DEA would be revising the
proposed information collection instruments as statutorily mandated by
the Protecting Patient Access to Emergency Medications Act of 2017. DEA
would be creating a new business activity and adding it to forms DEA-
224 and DEA-224A to allow Emergency Medical Services agencies to
register as such, if authorized by state law. This new business
activity would allow EMS agencies to obtain a DEA registration that
will permit EMS agencies to deliver controlled substances to their
designated locations without obtaining a separate registration as a
Distributor. This registration would allow EMS personnel to administer
controlled substances outside the physical presence of a medical
director or authorizing medical professional in the course of providing
emergency medical services. Upon issuance of an EMS agency
registration, the EMS agency should use the online system to identify
all of the locations it intends to designate under the EMS agencies'
DEA registration. This proposed collection would also allow EMS
agencies to choose the option of a single registration in each state
where the EMS agency operates. If the agency operates EMS facilities in
multiple states, the agency must have a separate registration in each
state where the agency operates.
Overview of This Information Collection

collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Registration

5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The DEA estimates

DEA Form 224, and 524,196 registrants for DEA form 224A. The time per
response is 20 minutes for DEA Form 224, and 10 minutes for DEA Form
224A.
