In accordance with the Controlled
Substance Act (CSA), every DEA registrant must make a biennial
inventory and maintain, on a current basis, a complete and accurate
record of each controlled substance manufactured, received, sold,
delivered, or otherwise disposed of. 21 U.S.C. 827 and 958. These
records must be maintained separately from all other records of the
registrant or, alternatively, in the case of non-narcotic
controlled substances, be in such form that required information is
readily retrievable from the ordinary business records of the
registrant. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(2). The records must be kept and be
available for at least two years for inspection and copying by
officers or employees of the United States authorized by the
Attorney General. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(3). The records must be in
accordance with and contain such relevant information as may be
required by regulations promulgated by DEA. 21 U.S.C. 827(b)(1).
These record requirements help to deter and detect diversion of
controlled substances and ensure that registrants remain
accountable for all controlled substances within their possession
and/or control.
