Supplementary Instructions and Information

SECTION 4. STATE LICENSE(S) - Federal registration by DEA is based upon the applicant's compliance with applicable state and
local laws. Applicant should contact the local state licensing authority prior to completing this application. If your state
requires a separate controlled substance number, provide that number on this application.
SECTION 5. LIABILITY - Applicant must answer all five questions for the application to be accepted for processing. If you answer
"Yes" to a question, provide an explanation in the space provided. If you answer "Yes" to several questions, then you
must provide a separate explanation describing the date, location, nature, and result of each incident.
If additional space is required, you may attach a separate page.
SECTION 6. EXEMPTION FROM APPLICATION FEE - Exemption from payment of application fee is limited to federal, state or local
government official or institution. The applicant's superior or agency officer must certify exempt status. The signature,
authority title, and telephone number of the certifying official (other than the applicant) must be provided. The address of
the fee exempt institution must appear in Section 1.
SECTION 7. METHOD OF PAYMENT- Indicate the desired method of payment. Make checks payable to "Drug Enforcement
Administration". Third-party checks or checks drawn on foreign banks will not be accepted.
FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

SECTION 8. APPLICANT'S SIGNATURE - Applicant MUST sign in this section or application will be returned. Card holder signature
in section 7 does not fulfill this requirement.
Notice to Registrants Making Payment by Check
Authorization to Convert Your Check: If you send us a check to make your payment, your check will be converted into an electronic fund transfer.
"Electronic fund transfer" is the term used to refer to the process in which we electronically instruct your financial institution to transfer funds from
your account to our account, rather than processing your check. By sending your completed, signed check to us, you authorize us to copy your
check and to use the account information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer from your account for the same amount as the
check. If the electronic fund transfer cannot be processed for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy of your check.
Insufficient Funds: The electronic funds transfer from your account will usually occur within 24 hours, which is faster than a check is normally
processed. Therefore, make sure there are sufficient funds available in your checking account when you send us your check. If the electronic
funds transfer cannot be completed because of insufficient funds, we may try to make the transfer up to more two times.
Transaction Information: The electronic fund transfer from your account will be on the account statement you receive from your financial institution.
However, the transfer may be in a different place on your statement than the place where your checks normally appear. For example, it may
appear under "other withdrawals" or "other transactions". You will not receive your original check back from your financial institution. For security
reasons, we will destroy your original check, but we will keep a copy of the check for record-keeping purposes.
Your Rights: You should contact your financial institution immediately if you believe that the electronic fund transfer reported on your account
statement was not properly authorized or is otherwise incorrect. Consumers have protections under Federal law called the Electronic Fund
Transfer Act for an unauthorized or incorrect electronic fund transfer.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No registration will be issued unless a completed application has been received (21 CFR 1301.13).
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no person is required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid
0MB control number. The 0MB number for this collection is 1117-0014. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 12 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the information.
The Debt Collection Improvements Act of 1996 (31 U.S.C.§ 7701) requires that you furnish your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Social
Security Number (SSN) on this application. This number is required for debt collection procedures if your fee is not collectible.
PRIVACY ACT NOTICE: Providing information other than your SSN or TIN is voluntary; however, failure to furnish it will preclude processing of the
application. The authorities for collection of this information are§§ 302 and 303 of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C.§§ 822 and 823).
The principal purpose for which the information will be used is to register applicants pursuant to the CSA. The information may be disclosed to other
Federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies for law enforcement and regulatory purposes, State and local law enforcement and regulatory
agencies for law enforcement and regulatory purposes, and persons registered under the CSA for the purpose of verifying registration. For further
guidance regarding how your information may be used or disclosed, and a complete list of the routine uses of this collection, please see the DEA
System of Records Notice "Controlled Substances Act Registration Records" (DEA-005), 52 FR 47208, December 11, 1987, as modified.
