No. 91-513, 84 Stat. 1242 (1970), as amended (the “CSA”). 21 U.S.C. 801–971. Through the enactment of the CSA and its amendments, Congress established a closed system of distribution making it unlawful to handle any controlled substance except in a manner authorized by the CSA. In order to maintain this closed system of distribution, the CSA generally requires all persons who handle controlled substances to obtain a registration issued by the Attorney General. 21 U.S.C. 822, 823, 957, and 958.

Short Statement: The regulatory change affecting this information collection, requiring all forms be submitted online, is expected to lower burden. However, the increase in burden hours is a result of adjusting up, the average burden hours per response.
