Abstract:
The DEA implements and enforces titles II and III of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, Pub. L. No. 91-513, 84 Stat. 1242 (1970), as amended (the “CSA”). 21 U.S.C. 801–971. Through the enactment of the CSA and its amendments, Congress established a closed system of distribution making it unlawful to handle any controlled substance except in a manner authorized by the CSA. In order to maintain this closed system of distribution, the CSA generally requires all persons who handle controlled substances to obtain a registration issued by the Attorney General. 21 U.S.C. 822, 823, 957, and 958.

Short Statement:
DEA is revising the proposed information collections by adding a checkbox to the new application and renewal application for applicants to affirm that they have completed the new eight-hour training requirement. DEA is also adding three questions to the applications in regards to the training requirements, in which they will be required to answer yes to at least one of the questions in order to proceed. The change in annual burden hours is due to rounding in the calculation. The change in annual cost burden is due to change in method. Previously, the approved 2023 figure represents the annual labor burden hours calculated in section 12. The new requested annual cost burden represents the figure from section 13.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$7,664,713
