Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 84 / Thursday, May 1, 2014 / Notices tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Accordingly, the state ALJ granted the MBC’s petition and suspended Registrant’s California medical license and thus prohibited him from practicing medicine in the State pending a final decision on the accusation. Id. at 12 1 (citing Cal. Govt. Code § 11529(f) (West 2013)). An internet search of the MBC’s public record actions Web page found the following entry for Registrant: ‘‘Full interim suspension order issued—no practice.’’ Discussion Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3), the Attorney General is authorized to suspend or revoke a registration issued under section 823 ‘‘upon a finding that the registrant . . . has had his State license . . . suspended [or] revoked . . . by competent State authority and is no longer authorized by State law to engage in the . . . dispensing of controlled substances.’’ With respect to a practitioner, ‘‘DEA has repeatedly held that the possession of authority to dispense controlled substances under the laws of the State in which a practitioner engages in professional practice is a fundamental condition for obtaining and maintaining a practitioner’s registration.’’ Richard H. Ng, 77 FR 29694, 29695 (2012). This rule derives from the text of two provisions of the CSA. First, Congress defined ‘‘the term ‘practitioner’ [to] mean[] a . . . physician . . . or other person licensed, registered or otherwise permitted, by . . . the jurisdiction in which he practices . . . to distribute, dispense, [or] administer . . . a controlled substance in the course of professional practice.’’ 21 U.S.C. 802(21). Second, in setting the requirements for obtaining a practitioner’s registration, Congress directed that ‘‘[t]he Attorney General shall register practitioners . . . if the applicant is authorized to dispense . . . controlled substances under the laws of the State in which he practices.’’ 21 U.S.C. 823(f). Because Congress has clearly mandated that a practitioner possess state authority in order to be deemed a practitioner under the CSA, DEA has further held that revocation of a practitioner’s registration is the appropriate sanction whenever he is no longer authorized to dispense controlled substances under the laws of the State in which he practices medicine. See, e.g., Calvin Ramsey, 76 FR 20034, 20036 (2011); Sheran Arden Yeates, M.D., 71 FR 39130, 39131 (2006); Dominick A. 1 The Order also scheduled the final hearing on the MBC’s accusation for June 30 through August 8, 2014. GX 5, at 3. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:30 Apr 30, 2014 Jkt 232001 Ricci, 58 FR 51104, 51105 (1993); Bobby Watts, 53 FR 11919, 11920 (1988). This is so even where the practitioner’s state authority has been suspended prior to a hearing on the merits of the State’s accusation and at which, the practitioner may ultimately prevail. See, e.g., Ng, 77 FR 29695 (citations omitted). Because Registrant is no longer licensed to practice medicine and to dispense controlled substances in California, the State in which he is registered with DEA, under the CSA, he is no longer entitled to hold his registration. Accordingly, I will order that his registration and X-number be revoked and that any pending applications be denied. 24755 Victims of Crime (OVC) to promote culturally relevant, victim-centered responses to sexual violence within AI/ AN communities.
