Department of Justice, information collections currently under review

DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOJ notes that information
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: Revision of a Previously
Approved Collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Registration and
Application for Registration Renewal.
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: DEA Forms 224, 224A.
The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Drug
Enforcement Administration, Diversion Control Division.
Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well
as a brief abstract:
Affected public (Primary): Business or other for-profit.
Affected public (Other): Not-for-profit institutions; Federal,
State, Local, and tribal governments.
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.
4. Obligation to Respond: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
5. Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 670,481.
6. Estimated Time per Respondent: 0.203029 hours.
7. Frequency: 1 per year.
8. Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 136,366 hours.
9. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
