A researcher not yet registered gets an answer within 45 days
What the document says“``(ii) Attorney general action.--The Attorney General shall-- ``(I) treat notice received under clause (i) as a sufficient application for a research registration; and ``(II) not later than 45 days of receiving such a notice that contains all information required under subparagraph (A)(i)-- ``(aa) register the applicant; or ``(bb) serve an order to show cause upon the applicant in accordance with section 304(c).”
The second of the two routes. Clause (i) lets a practitioner who is not registered to research a schedule I or II substance send the Attorney General the same notice. The Attorney General must treat that notice as a sufficient application, and within 45 days of a complete notice must either register the applicant or serve an order to show cause under section 304(c) of the Controlled Substances Act. What that section provides is in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says“``(ii) Attorney general action.--The Attorney General shall-- ``(I) treat notice received under clause (i) as a sufficient application for a research registration; and ``(II) not later than 45 days of receiving such a notice that contains all information required under subparagraph (A)(i)-- ``(aa) register the applicant; or ``(bb) serve an order to show cause upon the applicant in accordance with section 304(c).”
A notice from a new researcher counts as an application. The Attorney General has 45 days to act on it. They either sign the person up or send a notice to explain why not.
This route is for people not yet signed up for these drugs. They send the same facts as anyone else. Unlike the first route, they must wait for an answer.
