Abstract: The Controlled Substances Act requires practitioners conducting narcotic treatment to register annually with DEA. 21 U.S.C. 822, 823(g)(1); 21 CFR 1301.11, 1301.13. Registration is a necessary control measure that prevents diversion by ensuring the closed system of distribution of controlled substances can be monitored by DEA and that the businesses and individuals handling controlled substances are qualified to do so and are accountable.

Short Statement: In prior information collection requests, the associated registration fee was included in the cost burden calculation. The DEA believes the registration fee should be excluded from the information collection cost burden because the time and capital expense burden to provide the information is not tied to the registration fee. This change in calculation method is employed in this and future information collection requests.
