Quotas
> Year-End Reports
Background:
DEA routinely solicits the cooperation of DEA registered
manufacturers in providing statistical data on schedules I and II
controlled substances, information on certain schedule
III-V psychotropic substances, and the list I chemicals ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine.
The data is used to carry out the following DEA functions:
1. Establish and Revise the Aggregate Production Quotas for
schedule I and II controlled substances;
2. Establish and Revise the Assessment of Annual Needs for
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine;
3. Establish and Revise individual import, manufacturing and
procurement quota applications received throughout the year; and
4. Prepare statistical reports on behalf of the United States in
accordance with DEA’s obligations under various United Nations
treaty obligations.
In 2002, the Office of Diversion Control developed a software
application to assist manufacturers in fulfilling these reporting
obligations. The Year-End Report Generator (v 1.0.0) replaced
hardcopy year end worksheets which had previously been distributed to
DEA registered manufacturers on a yearly basis.
The Year-End Report Generator was a software program previously
available for download from the Office of Diversion Control’s website
and was developed to provide an easier and more efficient method of
preparing the necessary data.
DEA recently completed development of YERS
Online, a web-based application in which
DEA-registered manufacturers may now submit and amend real-time
inventory, acquisition and disposition data to the DEA. YERS
Online is meant to replace the Year-End
Report Generator (v 1.0.0). In the future, YERS
Online will be a platform by which
manufacturers will submit new and revised quota applications for
schedule I and II controlled substances as well as ephedrine,
pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine.
Deadlines:
In order to efficiently serve company needs for quota adjustments,
please submit year-end reports using YERS
Online not later than January 31, 2009. Reports pertain to
inventory, acquisition and disposition data for calendar year 2008.
In order to complete your firm’s year-end reports using YERS
Online, a "corporate administrator" will need to obtain a
username and password. Generally, a corporate administrator is the
person at your manufacturing location(s) responsible for filing quota
applications or has oversight of this process. Corporate users will be
responsible for creating, modifying, and deleting individual user
accounts within your organization. DEA will only issue one (1) corporate
user account per registration.
In order for a corporate administrator to obtain a username/password
from DEA, the following user
agreement must be completed and faxed to the Drug and Chemical
Evaluation Section at 202-353-1263. Scanned user agreements in *.pdf
format may also be emailed to ODE.Quota@usdoj.gov
(please note "YERS Access" in the subject line).
DEA will begin issuing username/passwords to corporate users in
December 2008. Upon receipt and verification of your user agreement, DEA
will send the corporate administrator an email with the username,
password and web address with the login screen for YERS
Online. The web address will be available on
the DEA Diversion website not later than January 1, 2009.
A user guide has
been prepared to assist users in navigating through the application.
