1117-AB63 202310 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1117 Drug Enforcement Administration DEA 1100 Department of Justice DOJ Termination of Registration Upon Discontinuation of Business or Change of Ownership

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing to modify its regulations regarding the automatic termination of DEA registrations resulting from a change of ownership for a registrant business organization in order to clarify how a change of ownership for a registrant business organization will affect the registrant’s DEA registration. Based on registrant inquiries and feedback received by DEA headquarters and local offices, the proposed language will provide greater clarity for DEA registrants and prevent individuals and entities from acquiring DEA registrations without prior DEA review.
