Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address one or more
of the following four points:
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies
estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
—Minimize the burden of the collection
of information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Firearms Inquiry Statistics (FIST)
Program.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Not applicable. As
applicable, tally sheets and an Excel
spreadsheet are sent to relevant State
and local agencies for reporting
purposes. These data collection forms
have not been assigned an agency form
number but will be labeled with the
appropriate OMB number as required.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: State and Local
Governments. This information
collection is a survey of State and local
agencies that conduct background
checks on individuals applying to
purchase firearms from federally
licensed firearm dealers. The
information will provide national
statistics on the total number of
applications and rejections annually,
reasons for rejection, and arrest and
appeal information.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The survey will be sent to an
estimated 816 state and local agencies.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

It is estimated that 653 respondents (80
percent of the sample) will spend a
cumulative total of 15 minutes annually
responding to the survey and/or
verifying information.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
There are an estimated 163.25 total
annual burden hours associated with
this collection. This estimate is higher
than the figure reported on the 60 day
notice (139.75 hours). The figure listed
in the 60 day notice assumed a response
rate of 70 percent. However, BJS and the
data collection agent will continue to
identify ways to encourage a higher
response rate in future data collections
and, as will be set forth in the FY2011
funding announcement for the FIST
program, BJS has established as a
performance measure a goal of
achieving an overall response rate of 80
percent. To calculate the current
estimated public reporting burden for
this information collection, the
estimated response rate submitted
previously was reassessed and revised
to reflect the current performance
measure established for the data
collection agent.
This revised estimate remains lower
than the estimated public burden
approved in 2007 (341.5 hours). The
decreased burden is associated with a
change in data collection schedule from
twice to once annually. BJS determined
that the relevant data could be
effectively obtained by administering
the survey once a year, and this
schedule is anticipated to continue in
subsequent information collections.

(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved

(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the

Explosives.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Business or other forprofit. Other: None. The regulations of
27 CFR 55.109 require that
manufacturers of explosive materials
place marks of identification on the
materials manufactured. Marking of
explosives enables law enforcement
entities to more effectively trace
explosives from the manufacturer
through the distribution chain to the
end purchaser. This process is used as
a tool in criminal enforcement activities.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that 1,563
respondents will respond to this
information collection. Estimated time
for a respondent to respond is none.
Because the manufacturers are required
to place markings on explosives, the
burden hours are considered usual and
customary. 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2) states,
there is no burden when the collection
of information is usual and customary.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated annual total
burden hours associated with this
collection is 1 hour.

[Docket No. 06–8]
George Mathew, M.D.; Denial of
Application
On September 19, 2005, I, the Deputy
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement
Administration, issued an Order to
Show Cause and Immediate Suspension
of Registration to George Mathew, M.D.
(Respondent), of Seattle, Washington.
The Order proposed the revocation of
Respondent’s DEA Certificate of
Registration, BM5009065, which
authorized him to dispense controlled
substances in schedules II through V as
a practitioner, and the denial of any
pending applications to renew or
modify his registration on the ground
that his ‘‘continued registration is
inconsistent with the public interest, as
that term is used in 21 U.S.C. 823(f) and
824(a)(4).’’ Show Cause Order at 1.
The Show Cause Order alleged that
Respondent had participated in a
criminal scheme run by Johar Saran, the
owner of Carrington Healthcare
Systems/Infiniti Services Group (CHS/
ISG) of Arlington, Texas, which used
numerous pharmacies owned by ‘‘sham
corporations’’ to obtain the DEA
registrations necessary to ‘‘purchase and
dispense large quantities of controlled
substances via the Internet.’’ Id. at 5. As
for Respondent’s involvement, the
Order alleged that between May 1, 2005
and June 17, 2005, Respondent, who
was licensed in the State of Washington,
had authorized 136 prescriptions for
residents of ‘‘at least 27 different states’’
and that ‘‘[n]inety-three percent of the
[prescriptions] were for hydrocodone,’’ a
schedule III controlled substance. Id. at
6. The Order further alleged that
Respondent ‘‘did not see [the]
customers, had no prior doctor-patient
relationships with the Internet
customers, did not conduct physical
exams, * * * did [not] create or
maintain patient records,’’ and that
‘‘[t]he only information usually
reviewed prior to issuing [the] drug
orders was the customer’s online
questionnaire.’’ Id. The Order thus
alleged that Respondent ‘‘participated’’
in a scheme to ‘‘facilitate [the]
circumvention of legitimate medical
practice’’ by ‘‘prescribing controlled
substances to Internet customers despite
never establishing a genuine doctorpatient relationship with the Internet
customer.’’ Id. at 5.
Next, the Show Cause Order alleged
that a DEA Diversion Investigator (DI)
had accessed a Web site, https://
www.heynowmeds.com, and, after
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
providing his name, address, phone
number, date of birth, gender, and
filling out a brief medical questionnaire,
purchased hydrocodone. Id. at 6. The
Order further alleged that the DI
received the drug three days later, that
he had not been contacted by any one
affiliated with the Web site, and that the
bottle’s label listed Respondent as the
prescriber and Southwest Fusion, an
entity in Fort Worth, Texas, as the
dispensing pharmacy. Id.
The Show Cause Order thus alleged
that Respondent ‘‘did not establish
legitimate physician-patient
relationships with the Internet
customers to whom [he] prescribed
controlled substances’’ and that ‘‘such
prescriptions [were] not [issued] for a
legitimate medical purpose in the usual
course of professional practice.’’ Id. at 7.
The Order thus alleged that the
prescriptions violated 21 CFR
1306.04(a).1
On September 22, 2005, Respondent
requested a hearing on the allegations,
which he denied, maintaining that he
had been the victim of identity theft,
ALJ Ex. 2; the matter was then placed
on the docket of the Agency’s
Administrative Law Judges (ALJ).
Moreover, on October 7, 2005,
Respondent requested a stay of the
immediate suspension based on his
contention of identity theft. See ALJ Ex.
4. On October 14, 2005, I stayed the
suspension pending resolution of his
claim. Id.
Thereafter, on October 19, 2005, the
parties filed a Joint Motion to Stay the
Proceedings, ALJ Ex. 3, and on October
26, 2005, the ALJ granted a stay. ALJ Ex.
5. On December 4, 2006, the parties
filed a joint status report. ALJ Ex. 6.
Therein, the parties notified the ALJ of
their inability to reach a resolution of
the matter and requested that the stay of
the proceedings be lifted and that the
hearing be held as soon as possible. Id.
In its prehearing statement of January
5, 2007, the Government notified
Respondent that it also intended to
present evidence regarding statements
he made during an interview with DEA
Investigators on September 22, 2005.
Gov. Prehearing Statement at 7. More
specifically, the Government alleged
that Respondent had contracted with
EDrugs, an entity which operated a Web
site (https://www.eDrugstore.com), and
that ‘‘on a daily basis’’ ‘‘for about 6
1 While I also immediately suspended
Respondent’s registration based on my conclusion
that his continued registration during the pendency
of the proceeding ‘‘would constitute an immediate
danger to public health and safety,’’ Show Cause
Order at 7, on October 14, 2005, I subsequently
stayed the suspension after Respondent maintained
that he was the victim of identity theft. ALJ Ex. 4.
