Importer of Controlled Substances Application: United States Pharmacopeial Convention, 49341 [2014-19775]

Download as PDF 49341 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Notices requirements for possessing and dispensing controlled substances, including the issuance of a prescription for a legitimate medical purpose by a practitioner acting in the usual course of professional practice. ‘‘The responsibility for the proper prescribing and dispensing of controlled substances is upon the prescribing practitioner, but a corresponding responsibility rests with the pharmacist who fills the prescription.’’ 21 CFR 1306.04(a). A prescription serves as a record of the practitioner’s determination of the legitimate medical need for the drug to be dispensed. The prescription also provides a record of the actual dispensing of the controlled substance to the ultimate user (the patient) and, therefore, is critical to documenting that controlled substances held by a pharmacy have been dispensed. The maintenance of complete and accurate records is an essential part of the closed system of distribution established by Congress. Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances Historically, where federal law required that a prescription for a controlled substance be issued in writing, that requirement could only be satisfied through the issuance of a paper prescription. Given advancements in technology and security capabilities for electronic applications, DEA amended its regulations to provide practitioners with the option of issuing electronic prescriptions for controlled substances in lieu of paper prescriptions. DEA’s Interim Final Rule for Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances was published on March 31, 2010, at 75 FR 16236–16319, and became effective on June 1, 2010. emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES Update Certifying Organization With a Certification Process Approved by DEA Pursuant to 21 CFR 1311.300(e) The Interim Final Rule and the DEA’s Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances Clarification (76 FR 64813) provides that, as an alternative to the third-party audit requirements of 21 CFR 1311.300(a) through (d), an electronic prescription or pharmacy application may be verified and certified as meeting the requirements of 21 CFR part 1311 by a certifying organization whose certification process has been approved by DEA.
