Electronic Orders for Controlled Substances
AGENCY: Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Justice
ACTION: Final Rule
SUMMARY: DEA is revising its regulations to provide an electronic equivalent to the DEA
official order form, which is legally required for all distributions involving Schedule I and II

Schedule I and II substances electronically and maintain the records of these orders
electronically. The regulations will reduce paperwork and transaction times for DEA registrants
who handle, sell, or buy these controlled substances. This rule has no effect on patients’ ability
to receive prescriptions for controlled substances from practitioners, nor on their ability to have
those prescriptions filled at pharmacies.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on [Insert date 60 days after date of publication in
the Federal Register]. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is
approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of [Insert date 60 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register].
