Summary

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is proposing to amend its regulations to implement a new single-sheet format for order forms (DEA Form 222) which are issued by DEA to DEA registrants to allow them to order schedule I and/or II controlled substances. DEA published a notice of proposed rulemaking about this new format in November 2007 but did not finalize it. Due to the passage of time and procedural considerations, DEA is reissuing another notice of proposed rulemaking. This proposal supersedes the November 2007 proposal. This proposed rule calls for allowing the continued use of the existing triplicate DEA Form 222 until a sunset date of two years after the final rule becomes effective, which would be included in the final rule. DEA also proposes minor procedural changes, including among other things, to clarify the procedure involving who can issue the power of attorney that is required for others to sign DEA Form 222.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
