by “having” software that complies with Part 1311. The commenter recommended “using”
instead of “having.” DEA agrees and has made the change.
Commenters stated that the proposed language in § 1305.25(b) and (c) that requires the
supplier to provide a reason for not filling the order was inconsistent with the existing rule. DEA
agrees and has changed the language to clarify that a supplier must notify a purchaser that an
order will not be filled, however, the supplier does not need to provide a reason for refusing to
fill an order.
Commenters asked DEA to make the definition of digital certificate specific to CSOS.
DEA disagrees. The definition is intended to be general and will cover more than CSOS
certificates. In the regulatory text, however, DEA has added “CSOS” before digital certificate
wherever the certificate is limited to the CSOS certificate.
One commenter asked whether “a registrant’s recognized agent” was different from a
CSOS coordinator. The two are the same; DEA has revised the rule to replace registrant’s
recognized agent with CSOS coordinator.
Central Ordering. A commenter asked whether the § 1305.22(f) requirement to ship to
the registered location of the purchaser allowed for shipment to a different registered location if
the order was issued by a central ordering facility. A number of firms issue orders for all their
registered locations from a central location which may not, itself, be registered. Each order,
however, can be for only one specific registered location and the supplier must ship to that
location. If the registered location identified within the order deviates from that identified within
the digital certificate, the supplier cannot fill the order; a new order must be requested from the
purchaser.
