Emergency Medical Services 

Recordkeeping and Notice 

Requirements. 

3. Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Justice sponsoring the 

collection: No form number is

4. Affected public who will be asked

abstract: Affected public (Primary): 

Business or other for-profit. 

Affected public (Other): Not-for-profit 

institutions; Federal, State, Local, and

Abstract: The Controlled Substances 

Act (CSA) (21 U.S.C. 801–971) requires 

all persons who handle controlled 

substances to obtain a registration from 

the Attorney General. 21 U.S.C. 822, 

823, 831, 957, and 958. The ‘‘Protecting 

Patient Access to Emergency 

Medications Act of 2017,’’ (hereafter the 

‘‘Act’’) which became law on November 

17, 2017, amended the Controlled 

Substances Act to allow for a new 

registration category for emergency 

medical services agencies that handle 

controlled substances. It also 

established standards for registering 

emergency medical services agencies, 

and set forth new requirements for 

delivery, storage, and recordkeeping 

related to their handling of controlled 

substances. 

With this proposed collection, DEA is 

proposing recordkeeping regulations for 

EMS agencies to incorporate the Act’s 

CSA amendments regarding 

recordkeeping, and to ensure an 

accurate accounting of the controlled 

substances outside the two-registrant 

integrity system. 

The Act require EMS agencies to 

maintain records of the EMS personnel 

whose State license or certification gives 

them the ability to administer controlled 

substances, in compliance with their 

State laws. Under 21 U.S.C 827(b), 

controlled substance records for all DEA 

registrants are required to be maintained 

for at least two years from the date of 

such inventory or records. Following 

the Act, 21 U.S.C. 823(k)(9)(B)(ii), DEA 

would require that records be 

maintained, whether electronically or 

otherwise, at each registered and 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
100538 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 239 / Thursday, December 12, 2024 / Notices 

designated location of the agency where 

the controlled substances involved are 

received, administered, or otherwise 

disposed of. 

Consistent with the Act’s 

amendments to the CSA, 21 U.S.C. 

823(k)(9), DEA would require an EMS 

agency to maintain records for each 

controlled substance administered or 

disposed of in the course of providing 

emergency medical services. In 

addition, any EMS personnel who 

disposes of or administers controlled 

substances to a patient in the course of 

providing emergency medical care 

would have to record the name of the 

controlled substance(s) and detailed 

information about the circumstances 

surrounding the administration of the 

controlled substance(s) (e.g., name of 

the substance, date dispensed, 

identification of the patient). 

Additionally, in accordance with 21 

U.S.C 821(k)(9)(b), that an EMS agency 

must maintain records of controlled 

substances delivered between registered 

and designated locations of the agency 

(except agencies restocking at the 

hospital under which the EMS agency is 

operating, because the hospital is 

required to keep records of such 

restocking). These records, for example, 

should include the name of the 

controlled substance(s), finished form, 

number of units in the commercial 

container, date delivered, and the 

address of the EMS agency location 

where the controlled substances were 

delivered. 

5. Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

6. Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 21,283. 

7. Estimated Time per Respondent: 5 

minutes. 

8. Frequency: 52 per year. 

9. Total Estimated Annual Time 

Burden: 92,226 hours. 

10. Total Estimated Annual Other 

Costs Burden: $0.
