{"abstract":"DEA is soliciting information from the affected industry, Medicare/Medicaid agencies, insurance providers, state regulatory agencies and other interested parties regarding preventing accumulation of controlled substances at long term care facilities (LTCFs). Because of current prescription reimbursement practices by Medicaid and Medicare, excess controlled substances often accumulate at LTCFs as patient medication requirements change. DEA is soliciting comments on proposed alternative solutions, as well as seeking other alternatives to prevent the accumulation of excess controlled substances at LTCFs.","action":"Notice; solicitation of information.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"},{"raw_name":"Drug Enforcement Administration","name":"Drug Enforcement Administration","id":116,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/drug-enforcement-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/116","parent_id":268,"slug":"drug-enforcement-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2001/04/25/01-10256.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"66 FR 20833","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2001-06-25","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments must be submitted on or before June 25, 2001.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["DEA-215N"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"01-10256","effective_on":null,"end_page":20835,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2001/04/25/01-10256.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/04/25/01-10256/preventing-the-accumulation-of-surplus-controlled-substances-at-long-term-care-facilities","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/01-10256?publication_date=2001-04-25","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2001-04-25/01-10256/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":195,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 08:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-04-25/pdf/01-10256.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2001-04-25","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2001/04/25/01-10256.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":20833,"subtype":null,"title":"Preventing the Accumulation of Surplus Controlled Substances at Long Term Care Facilities","toc_doc":"Long term care facilites; accumulation of surplus controlled substances, prevention; information request","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":66}
