Abstract: In accordance with the 

Controlled Substance Act (CSA), every 

DEA registrant must make a biennial 

inventory and maintain, on a current 

basis, a complete and accurate record of 

each controlled substance 

manufactured, received, sold, delivered, 

or otherwise disposed of. 21 U.S.C. 827 

and 958. These records must be 

maintained separately from all other 

records of the registrant or, 

alternatively, in the case of non-narcotic 

controlled substances, be in such form 

that required information is readily 

retrievable from the ordinary business 

records of the registrant. 21 U.S.C 

827(b)(2). The records must be kept and 

be available for at least two years for 

inspection and copying by officers or 

employees of the United States 

authorized by the Attorney General. 21 

U.S.C. 827(b)(3). The records must be in 

accordance with and contain such 

relevant information as may be required 

by regulations promulgated by DEA. 21 

U.S.C. 827(b)(1). These record 

requirements help to deter and detect 

diversion of controlled substances and 

ensure that registrants remain 

accountable for all controlled 

substances within their possession and/ 

or control.
