Abstract: The Controlled Substances Act requires all businesses and
individuals who manufacture, distribute, import, export, and conduct
research and laboratory analysis with controlled substances to register
with DEA. 21 U.S.C. 822, 21 CFR 1301.11 and 1301.13. Registration is a
necessary control measure and helps to prevent diversion by ensuring
the closed system of distribution of controlled substances can be
monitored by DEA and the businesses and individuals handling controlled
substances are qualified to do so and are accountable.
