The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), part of the Department of Justice, has released a notice regarding an extension of a previously approved information collection related to the registration of those handling controlled substances. This involves DEA Forms 225, 225a, and 225b for businesses and individuals involved in the manufacturing, distribution, or research of controlled substances. The DEA is seeking public comments on the necessity, accuracy, and potential burden of this information collection process, which is estimated to affect 16,560 registrants and require 3,323 hours annually. Comments are welcome until May 27, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The DEA wants to keep track of all the people and businesses that work with special medicines known as controlled substances, so they're asking for public help to make sure the process is not too hard for those involved. They're also checking whether they need to change anything about how people sign up and what details they need to share, and they want to hear from everyone by May 27, 2025.
