What must be filed with the DEA as a follow-up within 45 days after the initial report?

• A. DEA 106 form
• B. DEA 222 form
• C. DEA 41 form
• D. No form

Answer: (A)

When a controlled substance is stolen or lost, there is a formal reporting process to the DEA. After the initial notice is made, a follow-up document must be filed within 45 days to provide a complete, updated account of what happened. This follow-up is the DEA Form 106, which specifically documents theft or significant loss of controlled substances. Form 106 gathers crucial details to help law enforcement and the DEA assess and respond to the incident. It includes information about the registrant, the date the loss or theft was discovered, the approximate date of the incident, the location, a description of the substances involved (names, strengths, and quantities), any identifying numbers (like lot or serial numbers), and the steps taken so far (for example, notifications to police or investigations). If a police report was filed, its reference number and status of the investigation are also recorded. The purpose is to ensure accurate tracking, accountability, and appropriate action by authorities. Other forms have different uses, such as ordering controlled substances or handling purposes unrelated to theft or loss, so they do not fulfill the required follow-up documenting a theft or loss.
