Control, Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC 20537.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies

Other: Non-profit, State and local government.
Abstract: Persons use these forms to apply for DEA-issued digital

must be renewed upon renewal of the DEA registration to which the certificate
is linked. Certificates may be revoked and/or replaced when information on
which the certificate is based changes.

estimated for an average respondent to respond: DEA estimates that the rule will
affect 98,000 registrants and 145,000 certificate holders. The average time for
completing the application for a digital certificate to order controlled
substances is estimated to be from 0.72 hours to 1.24 hours. Certificate renewal
is estimated to take 0.083 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: As registrants adopt the electronic ordering, the annual burden
hours would average 41,860 hours a year. During this period, DEA assumes that 70
percent of the certificate holders will apply for certificates.
