## Abstract

This rule defines the term freight forwarding facility and establishes storage, security, and recordkeeping requirements for controlled substances that transit such facilities. It also provides a waiver to a freight forwarding facility from the requirement for registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration. This rule will afford a registrant who is authorized to engage in the general distribution of controlled substances a more efficient and competitive means to distribute controlled substances and should minimize in- transit losses.
