DEA Job Applicants Must Complete Drug Form

If you apply for a job at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), you will be asked to fill out Form DEA-200, the Pre‑Employment Drug Policy Notification and Acknowledgement. The agency estimates 4,727 applicants will respond and the form takes about 7 minutes to complete each (total annual time burden 551 hours); failing to provide the acknowledgement can lead to disqualification in the hiring process. DOJ seeks OMB authorization for three years, allows electronic submission to reduce burden, and is accepting public comments for 30 days until February 27, 2026.
