eComments Requested; Extension Without Change of a Previously Approved
Collection Application for Registration, Application for Registration
Renewal, Affidavit for Chain Renewal (DEA Forms 225, 225a and 225b)

AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Justice.

ACTION: 30-day notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), will be submitting the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. This proposed information collection was previously published in
the Federal Register at 80 FR, page 5137, on January 30, 2015, allowing
for a 60 day comment period.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for an additional
30 days until May 4, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information proposed to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses.

Overview of This Information Collection

1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Registration,
Application for Registration Renewal, Affidavit for Chain Renewal.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form numbers are DEA
Forms 225, 225a, and 225b. The applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of
Diversion Control.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Affected public (Primary): Business or other for-profit.
Affected public (Other): Not-for-profit institutions, Federal,
State, local, and tribal governments.
Abstract: The Controlled Substances Act requires all businesses and
individuals who manufacture, distribute, import, export, and conduct
research and laboratory analysis with controlled substances to register
with the DEA. 21 U.S.C. 822, 21 CFR 1301.11 and 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 the DEA and that the businesses and individuals handling controlled
substances are qualified to do so and are accountable.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: DEA Form 225 is
only for registration of controlled substance manufacturers,
distributors, reverse distributors, importers, exporters, researchers,
canine handlers, and analytical laboratories, as well as list 1
chemical manufacturers and importers. DEA Form 225 is submitted on an
as-needed basis by persons seeking to become registered. DEA Form 225a
is submitted annually thereafter to renew existing registrations. DEA
Form 225b is submitted annually for renewals of chain registrants.
Chain registrants are those corporations and laboratories that maintain
separate registrations at multiple locations (e.g., distributors) and
may renew all their registrations using a single DEA Form 225b.
