Controlled Substances (CSs) are drugs whose manufacture, possession and use are regulated by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Determine if the material you wish to use is a controlled substance by searching the DEA Alphabetical Listing. Researchers and other employees who require the use of a controlled substance in research must apply for authorization through EHS and be approved by DEA before work with the material can begin.
DEA also regulates manufacturers and distributors of chemicals that are precursors to controlled substances (List 1 and List 2 chemicals). A DEA registration is not required for an end-user business that purchases these chemicals for internal use. However, manufacturers and distributors are required to obtain documentation annually from end-users to define authorized buyers, to indicate how the precursor chemical will be used, to verify the existence and validity of the business making the purchase, and to document purchase date(s), quantity(s), and to report any suspicious or unusual purchasing activity to the DEA. Please contact EHS with questions and for support with purchasing precursor chemicals.

Process
Researchers at UO who intend to use DEA Controlled Substances in their work must first apply for a license. DEA issues licenses directly to the Registrant (researcher); UO no longer has an institutional license. Please contact Environmental Health and Safety for assistance with approvals for work with CSs.
DEA registrants and their authorized users should familiarize themselves with the UO Controlled Substances Program Manual. It provides streamlined guidance on complying with DEA requirements.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES PROGRAM MANUAL
Forms
Controlled Substance Disposition Log
The disposition log tracks the receipt and usage of each Controlled Substance under the Registrant's license. Additional pages can be printed here.
Controlled Substance Dilution Log
The Dilution Log be used to track the creation and usage of mixtures or dilutions of Controlled Substances.
Schedule III-V CS Transfer Form
The transfer form documents moving controlled substances from one UO DEA Registrant to another UO DEA Registrant.
Controlled Substance Inventory Form
The inventory form documents an inventory reconciliation of all controlled substances in the Registrant's ownership. It must be completed initially and at least every two years.
New Registrant INSTITUTIONAL OFFICIAL APPROVAL Application
Initial application form for new Principal Investigators (P.I.) wishing to use controlled substances. Will be sent to Institutional Official (I.O.)for approval.
If a Registrant wishes to grant a lab member access to the CS storage area as an Authorized User, please submit the Screening form to Steve Stuckmeyer.
