DOJ/DEA RIN: 1117-AA36 Publication ID: Fall 2000 
Title: Establishment of Freight Forwarding Facilities for DEA Distributing Registrants 
Abstract: DEA amended its regulations to define the term Freight Forwarding Facility and to exempt such facilities from the requirement of registration, in response to industry requests for recognition of such facilities. The amendments establish the regulatory guidelines under which registrants may utilize a freight forwarding facility while shipping controlled substances to another registrant. DEA intended that its use of the term Freight Forwarding Facility would be consistent with industry's use and understanding of that term. However, subsequent to publication of the final rule, DEA learned that the term Freight Forwarding Facility has different meanings to different industry participants and, further, that not all industry participants understand this term in the same way that DEA does. Accordingly, DEA plans an additional rulemaking to clarify the use of this term.
