Drug Enforcement Administration
The Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of Diversion Control, provides a number of resources on the Federal Controlled Substances Act:
Controlled Substance Loss Notification/Reporting
Per OAR 855-115-0115 a pharmacist has notification requirements:
- The pharmacist must report to the board without undue delay, but within one (1) business day in the event of a confirmed significant drug loss or any loss related to suspected drug theft of a controlled substance.
Per OAR 855-041-1030, a drug outlet has notification requirements:
- The outlet shall notify the board in the event of a significant drug loss or violation related to drug theft within one (1) business day.
- At the time a Report of Theft or Loss of Controlled Substances (DEA Form 106) sent to the Drug Enforcement Administration, a copy shall be provided to the board.
For Controlled Substance drug loss reporting, the board expects an initial email notification as well as a follow-up/final notification, once the situation is resolved. Resolved means that an internal investigation has been completed and all pertinent details of the drug loss have been identified. Depending on the circumstances, it may also be necessary to notify the DEA.
Submit email notification to
pharmacy.druglossreporting@bop.oregon.gov using "Controlled Substance Loss Notification" in the subject line. When submitting the follow-up/final notification to the board, be sure to include a copy of the completed DEA Form 106, if applicable.
