V. Required Analyses
Executive Order 12866
This regulation has been drafted and reviewed in accordance with Executive Order
12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review”, Section 1(b), Principles of Regulation. It has been
determined that this is a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866, Section
3(f), Regulatory Planning and Review, and accordingly this rule has been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
DEA has conducted a cost-benefit analysis of the rule, which the Office of Management
and Budget has reviewed. The Economic Impact Analysis for the proposed rule was posted on
the Diversion Control Program web site. That analysis has been updated to account for the
number of orders expected in 2004 (6,561,000), the first year of implementation, and to adjust
registrant estimates based on data from DEA’s ARCOS reporting system. DEA estimates that
about 98,000 registrants order Schedule I and II controlled substances and will apply for about
145,000 digital certificates. Over ten years, DEA estimates that electronic orders will reduce the
annualized cost of Schedule I and II orders by $284 million; the annualized costs of digital
certificates are estimated to be $20 million. The annualized net benefit of the rule, therefore, is
$264 million.
