DEA-222 is used to transfer or purchase Schedule I and II controlled substances and data are needed to provide an audit of transfer and purchase. DEA-222a Requisition Form is used to obtain the DEA-222 Order Form. Persons may also digitally sign and transmit orders for controlled substances electronically, using a digital certificate. Orders for Schedule I and II controlled substances are archived and transmitted to DEA.
DEA is allowing, but not mandating, the use of electronic orders for Schedule I and II controlled substances. The implementation of electronic ordering is occurring more slowly than DEA projected originally, but the number of transactions per electronic order is significantly higher than the number of transactions per paper order. As a result, the burden hours have declined.
