APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION

SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

SECTION 4. STATE LICENSE(S) - Federal registration by DEA is based upon the applicant 's compliance with applicable state and local laws. Applicant should contact the
local state licensing authority prior to completing this application. If your state requires a separate controlled substance number, provide that number on this application.
SECTION 5. LIABILITY - Applicant must answer all four questions for the application to be accepted for processing. If you answer "Yes" to a question, provide an
explanation in the space provided. If you answer "Yes" to several of the questions, then you must provide a separate explanation describing the date, location, nature, and
result of each incident. If additional space is required, you may attach a separate page.
SECTION 6. EXEMPTION APPLICATION FEE - Exemption from payment of application fee is limited to federal, state or local government official or institution. The
applicant's superior or agency officer must certify exempt status. The signature, authority title, and telephone number of the certifying official (other than the applicant) must

Notice to Registrants Making Payment by Check
Authorization to Convert Your Check: If you send us a check to make your payment, your check will be converted into an electronic fund transfer. "Electronic fund transfer"
is the term used to refer to the process in which we electronically instruct your financial institution to transfer funds from your account to our account, rather than processing
your check. By sending your completed, signed check to us, you authorize us to copy your check and to use the account information from your check to make an electronic
fund transfer from your account for the same amount as the check. If the electronic fund transfer cannot be processed for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the
copy of your check.

PL

Insufficient Funds: The electronic funds transfer from your account will usually occur with 24 hours, which is faster than a check is normally processed. Therefore, make
sure there are sufficient funds available in your checking account when you send us your check. If the electronic funds transfer cannot be completed because of insufficient
funds, we may try to make the transfer up to two more times.
Transaction Information: The electronic fund transfer from your account will be on the account statement you receive from your financial institution. However, the transfer
may be in a different place on your statement than the place where your checks normally appear. For example, it may appear under "other withdrawals" or "other
transactions." You will not receive your original check back from your financial institution. For security reasons, we will destroy your original check, but we will keep a copy of
the check for record-keeping purposes.

SA
M

Your Rights: You should contact your financial institution immediately if you believe that the electronic fund transfer reported on your account statement was not properly
authorized or is otherwise incorrect. Consumers have protections under Federal law called the Electronic Fund Transfer Act for an unauthorized or incorrect electronic fund
transfer.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

No registration will be issued unless a completed application has been received (21 CFR 1301.13).
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no person is required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The
OMB number for this collection is 1117-0014. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 12 minutes per response, including the time
for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information.

The Debt Collection Improvements Act of 1996 (31 U.S.C. §7701) requires that you furnish your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) on
this application. This number is required for debt collection procedures if your fee is not collectible.
PRIVACY ACT NOTICE: Providing information other than your SSN or TIN is voluntary; however, failure to furnish it will preclude processing of the application. The
authorities for collection of this information are §§302 and 303 of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. §§822 and 823). The principle purpose for which the
information will be used is to register applicants pursuant to the CSA. The information may be disclosed to other Federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies for law
enforcement and regulatory purposes, State and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies for law enforcement and regulatory purposes, and persons registered under
the CSA for the purpose of verifying registration. For further guidance regarding how your information may be used or disclosed, and a complete list of the routine uses of this
collection, please see the DEA System of Records Notice "Controlled Substances Act Registration Records" (DEA-005), 52 FR 47208, December 11, 1987, as modified.
