be 0.031 hours per order for purchasers; the average time for validating and annotating electronic
orders is estimated to be 0.046 hours per order for suppliers, who also spend 0.05 hours every
other business day sending reports to DEA.

registrants adopt the electronic ordering, the annual burden hours would average 2.5 million
hours a year. During this period, DEA assumes that 20 percent of orders would be electronic in
year 1, 60 percent in year 2, and 80 percent in year 3, with a 7 percent growth rate for orders per
