Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment changes the method for paying
registration fees by requiring applicants to pay registration fees by credit
card rather than in the form of personal, certified, or cashier's
checks.
(1) For each
registration or re-registration to-
(A)
Manufacture controlled substances, the registrant shall pay a fee of sixty-six
dollars ($66);
(B) Distribute
controlled substances, the registrant shall pay a fee of sixty-six dollars
($66);
(C) Dispense controlled
substances listed in Schedules II-V including dispensing of controlled
substances by individual practitioners in training programs or to conduct
research or instructional activities with those substances, the registrant
shall pay a fee of thirty dollars ($30);
(D) Conduct research or instructional
activities with a controlled substance listed in Schedule I, the registrant
shall pay a fee of thirty dollars ($30);
(E) Conduct chemical analysis with controlled
substances listed in any schedule, the registrant shall pay a fee of thirty
dollars ($30); and
(F) Import or
export controlled substances listed in any schedule, the registrant shall pay a
fee of sixty-six dollars ($66).
(2) Lapsed Registration Fee. A late charge of
ten dollars ($10) must be submitted with the original registration fee if an
application is submitted more than fifteen (15) days after a previous
registration has expired.
(3) Time
and Method of Payment and Refunds. Registration and reregistration fees shall
be paid at the time the application for registration or re-registration is
submitted for filing. This is a nonrefundable processing fee. Payment should be
made in the form of an online credit card payment, payable to the Department of
Health and Senior Services. Personal, certified, or cashier's checks, money
orders, or other payments made in the form of stamps, foreign currency, or
third-party endorsed checks will not be accepted. Applications and fees shall
be submitted electronically online and applicants shall use the online payment
system provided on the department's website. In the event the online
application registration process becomes unavailable, applicants may contact
the department for alternative options to apply for registration.
(4) Persons Exempt From Fee. The Department
of Health and Senior Services shall exempt the following persons from payment
of a fee for registration or re-registration:
(A) Any official or agency of the United
States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Veterans
Administration, or Public Health Service who is authorized to procure or
purchase controlled substances for official use;
(B) Any official, employee or other civil
officer, or agency of the United States or state or any political subdivision
or agency who is authorized to purchase controlled substances, to obtain these
substances from official stocks, to dispense or administer these substances, to
conduct research, instructional activities, or chemical analysis with these
substances, or any combination of them, in the course of his/her official
duties or employment;
(C) In order
to claim exemption from payment of a registration or re-registration fee, the
registrant shall apply for exemption by completing appropriate sections of the
application;
(D) Exemption from
payment of a registration or re-registration fee does not relieve the
registrant of any other requirements or duties prescribed by law; and
(E) Any registration that is exempt from
payment pursuant to this section shall be valid only when authorized persons
are conducting activities in the course of their official duties or employment
at their government practice location. If the person conducts controlled
substance activities away from his or her government practice location, the
person shall apply and submit the required fee for a non-exempt
registration.
