Definition and Registration of Disposers

The DEA proposes to amend its regulations to define the term Disposer and establish a new category of manufacturer registration. DEA is also proposing to amend the regulations to exempt disposers from the quota requirements; to delineate the records and reports required of disposers; and to set out order form procedures for disposers. DEA is proposing these amendments in response to industry requests. The proposed amendments establish the regulatory guidelines under which disposers may handle controlled substances.
