Abstract: Persons use these forms

registration to which the certificate is linked. Certificates may be revoked
and/or replaced when information on which the certificate is based changes.

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.
