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, the DEA has also long 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. See, e.g.,
James L. Hooper, M.D., 76 FR 71,371
(2011), pet. for rev. denied, 481 F. App’x
826 (4th Cir. 2012); Frederick Marsh
Blanton, M.D., 43 FR 27,616, 27,617
(1978). 3
According to Washington statute, ‘‘A
practitioner may dispense or deliver a
controlled substance to or for an
individual or animal only for medical
treatment or authorized research in the
ordinary course of that practitioner’s
profession.’’ Wash. Rev. Code
§ 69.50.308(j) (2022). Further, a
‘‘prescription’’ means ‘‘an order for
controlled substances issued by a
practitioner duly authorized by law or
rule in the state of Washington to
prescribe controlled substances within
the scope of his or her professional
practice for a legitimate medical
purpose.’’ Id. at § 69.50.101(nn). Finally,
a ‘‘practitioner’’ as defined by
Washington statute includes ‘‘[a]
physician under chapter 18.71 RCW.’’
Id. at § 69.50.101(mm)(1).4
Here, the undisputed evidence in the
record is that Registrant currently lacks
authority to practice medicine in
Washington. As already discussed, a
physician must be a licensed
practitioner to dispense or prescribe a
controlled substance in Washington.
Thus, because Registrant lacks authority
to practice medicine in Washington and,
therefore, is not authorized to handle
controlled substances in Washington,
Registrant is not eligible to maintain a
DEA registration. Accordingly, the
Agency will order that Registrant’s DEA
registration be revoked.
3 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, the DEA has held repeatedly 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. See, e.g.,
James L. Hooper, 76 FR at 71,371–72; Sheran Arden
Yeates, M.D., 71 FR 39,130, 39,131 (2006);
Dominick A. Ricci, M.D., 58 FR 51,104, 51,105
(1993); Bobby Watts, M.D., 53 FR 11,919, 11,920

program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor

A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the individual listed below
in the Addresses section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Consumer Expenditure (CE)
Surveys collect data on consumer
expenditures, demographic information,
and related data needed by the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and other
public and private data users. The
continuing surveys provide a constant
measurement of changes in consumer
expenditure patterns for economic
analysis and to obtain data for future
CPI revisions. The CE Surveys have
been ongoing since 1979.
The data from the CE Surveys are
used (1) for CPI revisions, (2) to provide
a continuous flow of data on income
and expenditure patterns for use in
economic analysis and policy
formulation, and (3) to provide a
flexible consumer survey vehicle that is
available for use by other Federal
Government agencies. Public and
private users of price statistics,
including Congress and the economic
policymaking agencies of the Executive
branch, rely on data collected in the CPI
in their day-to-day activities. Hence,
data users and policymakers widely
accept the need to improve the process
used for revising the CPI. If the CE
Surveys were not conducted on a
E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM
15SEN1
56714
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 178 / Thursday, September 15, 2022 / Notices
continuing basis, current information
necessary for more timely, as well as
more accurate, updating of the CPI
would not be available. In addition, data
would not be available to respond to the
continuing demand from the public and
private sectors for current information
on consumer spending.
In the Quarterly Interview Survey,
each consumer unit (CU) in the sample
is interviewed every three months over
four calendar quarters. The sample for
each quarter is divided into three
panels, with CUs being interviewed
every three months in the same panel of
every quarter. The Quarterly Interview
Survey is designed to collect data on the
types of expenditures that respondents
can be expected to recall for a period of
three months or longer. In general the
expenses reported in the Interview
Survey are either relatively large, such
as property, automobiles, or major
appliances, or are expenses which occur
on a fairly regular basis, such as rent,
utility bills, or insurance premiums.
The Diary (or recordkeeping) Survey
is completed at home by the respondent
family for two consecutive one-week
periods. The primary objective of the
Diary Survey is to obtain expenditure
data on small, frequently purchased
items which normally are difficult to
recall over longer periods of time.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought to continue
the Consumer Expenditure Surveys: The
Quarterly Interview (CEQ) and the Diary
(CED) and to make modifications to the
CEQ.
The continuing CE Surveys provide a
constant measurement of changes in
consumer expenditure patterns for
economic analysis and obtain data for
future CPI revisions.
In the CEQ, CE is seeking clearance to
make the below changes.
The CE requests clearance to modify
point of purchase questions for utilities,
to remove collection of data related to
residential business properties, to
collect all expenditures including sales
tax, update wording on motorized
versus non-motorized campers, collect
the name of the foreign country when
the point-of-service outlet is outside of
the US, and update bracket ranges to
more accurately reflect distributions of
reported data on assets and liabilities.
The CE is also seeking clearance to
streamline the CEQ questionnaire by
grouping similar items together,
rewording items to make collection
easier cognitively, and aggregating
collection of items previously collected
separately where feasible. As a result,
several questions were eliminated from
the survey and two additional sections
were added and one section was
modified as listed below:
• Adding a new section, Family Care
and Education that combines questions
previously asked across the interview
on education, day care and camps,
babysitting, school meals, adult day care
and in-home care for invalids.
• Adding a new section on
Transportation that combines questions
on vehicle operating expenses with
questions on transportation via taxis,
limousines, app-based ride shares, bike,
scooter or moped rental using sharing
services, and public transport.

III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• 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
agency’s 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.
• 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 submissions
of responses.
