Just a Decade Later, DEA Reopens Comment Period for Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances

A little more than ten years ago, on March 31, 2010, the Drug Enforcement Administration published its  Interim Final Rule (IFR) with request for comments, titled “Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances” (Docket No. DEA-218, RIN 1117-AA61). The rule became effective June 1, 2010, and is codified at 21 CFR parts 1300, 1304, 1306, and 1311.
