SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Bureau of Justice
Statistics, 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;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; 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:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection:
Recordkeeping for Electronic
Prescriptions for Controlled Substances.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
No form number is associated with this
collection. The applicable component
within the Department of Justice is the
Drug Enforcement Administration,
Diversion Control Division.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Affected public (Primary): Business or
other for-profit.
Affected public (Other): Not-for-profit
institutions; Federal, State, local, and
tribal governments.
Abstract: DEA is requiring that each
registered practitioner apply to an
approved credential service provider
approved to obtain identity proofing
and a credential. Hospitals and other
institutional practitioners may conduct
this process in-house as part of their
credentialing. For practitioners
currently working at or affiliated with a
registered hospital or clinic, the
hospital/clinic have to check a
government-issued photographic
identification. This may be done when
the hospital/clinic issues credentials to
new hires or newly affiliated
physicians. For individual practitioners,
two people need to enter logical access
control data to grant permissions for
practitioners authorized to approve and
sign controlled substance prescriptions
using the electronic prescription
application. For institutional
practitioners, logical access control data
is entered by two people from an entity
within the hospital/clinic that is
separate from the entity that conduct
identity proofing in-house. Similarly,
pharmacies have to set logical access
controls in the pharmacy application so
that only authorized employees have
permission to annotate or alter
prescription records. Finally, if the
electronic prescription or pharmacy
application generates an incident report,
practitioners, hospitals/clinics, and
pharmacies have to review the incident
report to determine if the event
identified by the application represents
a security incident.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The DEA estimates that
158,884 registrants participate in this
information collection, taking an
estimated 40 minutes for Practitioner,
128 minutes for Hospital/Clinic, and 20
minutes for Pharmacy.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
proposed collection: DEA estimates that
this collection takes 107,733 annual
burden hours.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost
burden associated with the collection, if
applicable: $0.

BJS anticipates undertaking a variety of
new surveys and data collections, as
well as reassessing ongoing statistical
projects, across a number of areas of
criminal justice, including law
enforcement, courts, corrections, and
victimization. This work will entail
development of new survey
instruments, redesigning and/or
modifying existing surveys, procuring
administrative data from state and local
government entities, and creating or
modifying establishment surveys. In
order to inform BJS data collection
protocols, to develop accurate estimates
of respondent burden, and to minimize

respondent burden associated with each
new or modified data collection, BJS

collection operations, sample frame
development, focus groups, cognitive
testing, pilot testing, exploratory
interviews, experiments with
questionnaire design, and usability
testing of electronic data collection
