Notice
Summary
Diana Clouthier, a nurse practitioner from Colorado, lost her DEA registration because she no longer has permission to handle controlled substances in her state. She didn’t ask for a hearing after being notified, so the DEA moved forward and officially revoked her registration. This means she can’t legally prescribe or manage controlled drugs anymore, effective immediately.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
DEA Registration Revoked for N.P.
The DEA revoked Diana Clouthier's Certificate of Registration No. MC5780639 and denied any pending applications to renew, modify, or obtain additional registration in Colorado. The Agency found her Colorado nursing licenses were suspended on October 21, 2024, and the Order takes effect August 15, 2025.
State License Loss Triggers DEA Revocation
Under 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3) and related provisions cited in this Order, if a practitioner's State license or registration is suspended or revoked so that they are no longer authorized to handle controlled substances in that State, the DEA may revoke the practitioner's DEA registration. The Order cites this rule as the basis for revoking the registrant's DEA registration after Colorado suspended her licenses.
