Abstract:
The DEA collects information in regards to reporting and recordkeeping for digital certificates. The application for a digital certificate is required to ensure that the person applying for the certificate is either a DEA registrant or someone who has power of attorney from a DEA registrant to sign orders for Schedule I and II substances. The DEA Certification Authority uses the information to verify the person’s identity and eligibility to hold a DEA-issued digital certificate.

Short Statement:
Changes to the annual burden hours reflect an increase in estimated time per response. Although there is a decrease in annual responses there is an increase in the annual burden hours due to an increase in estimated burden per response. In addition to the increase in annual burden hours, the majority of the increase in annual burden dollars is due to a change in calculation method.* There have been no statutory or regulatory changes affecting this information collection. In prior information collection requests, the estimated annual burden dollars was implied to be a usual and customary business expense not directly associated with this information collection. The DEA believes the estimated annual burden associated with this information collection should be included. This change in calculation method is employed in this and future information collection requests
