Which form must be followed up with within 45 days after an initial theft report?

• A. DEA 106
• B. DEA 222
• C. DEA 41
• D. DEA 224

Answer: (A)

When controlled substances are stolen or lost, the immediate goal is to alert the DEA and then provide a detailed record of what happened. The form used for that detailed follow-up is the DEA Form 106, Report of Theft or Loss of Controlled Substances. It collects essential information about the incident—date of theft or loss, location, the substances and quantities affected, the registrant’s details, any police involvement, and the steps taken to secure or investigate the loss. This follow-up is required within a set timeframe (often cited as 45 days) to ensure the DEA has complete information for oversight and potential enforcement. Other forms have different purposes: a form used to order Schedule I and II drugs, a form for documenting the destruction or disposal of controlled substances, and a registration form to dispense controlled substances. But for reporting theft or loss and providing the necessary follow-up details, it’s DEA Form 106.
