What is the purpose of DEA 224?

To renew a manufacturing license
To register with the DEA
To report lost prescriptions
To apply for a research license

The correct answer is: To register with the DEA

The purpose of DEA 224 is to register with the DEA, which is essential for any practitioner, pharmacy, or institution that plans to handle controlled substances. This registration ensures that the entity complies with federal regulations regarding the manufacture, distribution, and dispensing of narcotic and non-narcotic controlled substances. When an individual or organization submits DEA 224, they are effectively seeking permission to engage in activities that involve controlled substances, which must be tracked and monitored due to their potential for abuse and dependence. The registration must be renewed periodically to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, but the initial completion of this form is specifically aimed at obtaining that crucial registration. In contrast, renewing a manufacturing license pertains to a different type of form and process, which is separate from DEA 224. Reporting lost prescriptions relates to a different set of regulations concerning the safe handling of controlled substances, and applying for a research license involves another specific application process that is not covered by DEA 224. Therefore, the correct association of DEA 224 is with the act of registering with the DEA.
