The DEA is in
the process of creating an online portal with a Suspicious Incident
Form to report suspicious orders and chemical incidents
simultaneously to the Field Office and DEA HQS. The DEA hopes to
have this online portal operational by the end of 2014. We
encourage DEA to make this electronic reporting tool operational as
soon as possible, and request that DEA provide OIRA a status report
by December 2014 advising whether or not it will meet its
goal.
