DEA Extends Same-Old Chemical Reporting Requirements
Published Date: 7/7/2025
Notice
Summary
The DEA is asking to keep collecting yearly reports from companies that make certain chemicals, with no changes to the current process. This helps keep track of these chemicals and makes sure everyone follows the rules. If you’re a manufacturer, get ready to keep filing on time—no new fees or surprises here!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Annual reporting stays required
If you manufacture DEA-listed chemicals, you must continue to file an annual report with the Drug Enforcement Administration. The DEA is extending the current information collection so the yearly reporting requirement remains in place with no changes to the process.
No new fees or changes
The DEA is extending the information collection 'without change,' so there are no new filing fees, new forms, or new procedural requirements tied to the annual reports. Manufacturers should continue filing on the same schedule and with the same materials they use now.
