                     permitting electronic submission of responses. *Abstract:*
                     In accordance with current 21 CFR 1301.74, a DEA registrant must notify the Field Division Office of the Administration in writing, of any theft or significant loss of any controlled substance within one business day of discovery of the theft or loss, and must complete and send to the DEA a DEA Form 106 upon determination of a theft or significant loss. The DEA Form 106 is designed to provide a uniform method of reporting and recording thefts and losses of controlled substances as required by 21 U.S.C. 827, 21 CFR 1301.74(c) and 1301.76(b). The form is entitled “Report of Theft or Loss of Controlled Substances” and it is used by the DEA to help determine the quantities and types of controlled substances that are stolen or lost. It may also serve as a record of the theft or loss for the registrant. DEA is modifying this collection to move DEA Form 107 from 1117-0024 to this collection, as DEA Form 107 is more aligned with DEA Form 106. DEA Form 107 is used by regulated persons involved in reporting unusual or excessive loss or disappearance of a listed chemical. Each regulated person must report to the Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Diversional Office for the area in which the regulated person making the report is located any unusual or excessive loss or disappearance of a listed chemical under the control of the regulated person.
