 PUBLISHED ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS FOR ARCOS REGISTRANTS

Automation of Reports and Consolidated Orders System

This bulletin has been prepared by the DEA Office of Diversion Control, ARCOS Unit, to assist participating ARCOS registrants with the preparation and submission of required DEA controlled substance transaction reports to ARCOS.

As a result of the placement of GHB into CSA Schedule 1 (see enclosure), manufacturers and distributors of GHB must report to ARCOS all on hand stocks of Schedule 1 GHB with a Transaction Code '1' (Schedule Change Inventory). Transaction Code '1' will establish existing stocks of GHB inventory in ARCOS. Registrants must conduct an inventory of GHB stocks on or before May 12, 2000. Transaction Code '1' submissions are due with the May 2000 ARCOS reports. Manufacturers and distributors must also report all applicable ARCOS activity involving GHB in accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (21CFR) Section 1304.33.

Please contact the ARCOS Unit (202-307-8600) if more information is needed.
