CSA & 21 CFR Expertise

Skilled in interpreting the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR) for registrants wanting to meet those requirements imposed by these laws and regulations that are enforced by DEA personnel.

DEA Compliance Focus Areas

Regulatory enforcement by DEA will focus on DEA-required records, the security of controlled substances, and the “Due Diligence” placed on a registrant to know their customers.

Preventing DEA Penalties

Failure to maintain complete and accurate records, inventory, security of controlled substances, and the lack of a “Due Diligence” program may result in administrative and civil actions on their DEA registration.
