DEA Number Sample Clauses

The DEA Number clause establishes the requirement for a party, typically a healthcare provider or pharmacy, to possess a valid Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration number. This number authorizes the holder to handle, prescribe, or dispense controlled substances as regulated by federal law. In practice, the clause may require the party to provide proof of their DEA registration and to maintain its validity throughout the term of the agreement. Its core function is to ensure legal compliance and accountability in the handling of controlled substances, thereby reducing the risk of unlawful distribution or prescription.
