The DEA is in the process of creating an online portal with a Suspicious Incident Form to report suspicious orders and chemical incidents simultaneously to the Field Office and DEA HQS. The DEA hopes to have this online portal operational by the end of 2014. We encourage DEA to make this electronic reporting tool operational as soon as possible, and request that DEA provide OIRA a status report by December 2014 advising whether or not it will meet its goal.
