DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Robert Rowen, M.D.; Decision and
Order
On May 23, 2023, the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA or
Government) issued an Order to Show
Cause (OSC) to Robert Rowen M.D.
(Registrant). Request for Final Agency
Action (RFAA), Exhibit (RFAAX) 1, at 1,
3. The OSC proposed the revocation of
Registrant’s Certification of Registration
No. AR9231919 at the registered address
of 2200 County Center Dr., Ste. C, Santa
Rosa, CA 95403. Id. at 1. The OSC
alleged that Registrant’s registration
should be revoked because Registrant is
‘‘currently without authority to
prescribe, administer, dispense, or
otherwise handle controlled substances
in the State of California, the state in
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:22 Aug 13, 2024
Jkt 262001
which [he is] is registered with DEA.’’
Id. at 2 (citing 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3)).1
The OSC notified Registrant of his
right to file with DEA a written request
for hearing, and that if he failed to file
such a request, he would be deemed to
have waived his right to a hearing and
be in default. Id. (citing 21 CFR
1301.43). Here, Registrant did not
request a hearing. RFAA, at 2.2 ‘‘A
default, unless excused, shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of the
registrant’s/applicant’s right to a hearing
and an admission of the factual
allegations of the [OSC].’’ 21 CFR
1301.43(e).
Further, ‘‘[i]n the event that a
registrant . . . is deemed to be in
default . . . DEA may then file a request
for final agency action with the
Administrator, along with a record to
support its request. In such
circumstances, the Administrator may
enter a default final order pursuant to
[21 CFR] § 1316.67.’’ Id. § 1301.43(f)(1).
Here, the Government has requested
final agency action based on Registrant’s
default pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43(c),
(f), 1301.46. RFAA, at 1; see also 21 CFR
1316.67.
Findings of Fact
The Agency finds that, in light of
Registrant’s default, the factual
allegations in the OSC are admitted.
According to the OSC, effective
September 1, 2022, the Medical Board of
California suspended Registrant’s
California medical license. RFAAX 1, at
1. According to California online
records, of which the Agency takes
official notice, Registrant’s California
medical license has since been
revoked.3 California DCA License
1 According to Agency records, Registrant’s
registration expired on April 30, 2024. The fact that
a registrant allows his registration to expire during
the pendency of an OSC does not impact the
Agency’s jurisdiction or prerogative under the
Controlled Substances Act (CSA) to adjudicate the
OSC to finality. Jeffrey D. Olsen, M.D., 84 FR 68474,
68476–79 (2019).
2 Based on the Government’s submissions in its
RFAA dated October 16, 2023, the Agency finds
that service of the OSC on Registrant was adequate.
Specifically, the submitted Declaration from a DEA
Diversion Investigator (DI) indicates that Registrant
was personally served with the OSC on May 24,
2023. RFAAX 2, at 1. The DI also stated in his
Declaration that he personally witnessed Registrant
sign and date a duplicate copy of the OSC to verify
receipt. Id.; see also id. at 5.
3 Under the Administrative Procedure Act, an
agency ‘‘may take official notice of facts at any stage
in a proceeding—even in the final decision.’’
United States Department of Justice, Attorney
General’s Manual on the Administrative Procedure
Act 80 (1947) (Wm. W. Gaunt & Sons, Inc., Reprint
1979). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 556(e), ‘‘[w]hen an
agency decision rests on official notice of a material
fact not appearing in the evidence in the record, a
party is entitled, on timely request, to an
opportunity to show the contrary.’’ Accordingly,

Sfmt 4703

Search, https://search.dca.ca.gov (last
visited date of signature of this Order).
Accordingly, the Agency finds that
Registrant is not licensed to practice
medicine in California, the state in
which he is registered with DEA.
Discussion
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3), the
Attorney General is authorized to
suspend or revoke a registration issued
under 21 U.S.C. 823 ‘‘upon a finding
that the registrant . . . has had his State
license or registration 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
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, D.O., 76 FR 71371,
71372 (2011), pet. for rev. denied, 481
F. App’x 826 (4th Cir. 2012); Frederick
Marsh Blanton, D.O., 43 FR 27616,
27617 (1978).4
According to California statute,
‘‘dispense’’ means ‘‘to deliver a
controlled substance to an ultimate user
or research subject by or pursuant to the
lawful order of a practitioner, including
the prescribing, furnishing, packaging,
labeling, or compounding necessary to
prepare the substance for that delivery.’’
Cal. Health & Safety Code section 11010
Registrant may dispute the Agency’s finding by
filing a properly supported motion for
reconsideration of findings of fact within fifteen
calendar days of the date of this Order. Any such
motion and response shall be filed and served by
email to the other party and to the DEA Office of
the Administrator, Drug Enforcement
Administration at dea.addo.attorneys@dea.gov.
4 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(g)(1). Because Congress
has clearly mandated that a practitioner possess
state authority in order to be deemed a practitioner
under the CSA, 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 71371–72; Sheran Arden
Yeates, D.O., 71 FR 39130, 39131 (2006); Dominick
A. Ricci, D.O., 58 FR 51104, 51105 (1993); Bobby
Watts, D.O., 53 FR 11919, 11120 (1988); Frederick
Marsh Blanton, 43 FR 27617.
