Correction to DEA Rule on Emergency Medical Services Agency Registration Under the Protecting Patient Access to Emergency Medications Act of 2017
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This document is a technical correction issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) under the Department of Justice to a final rule originally published on February 5, 2026 (document 2026-02288). The original rule implemented the Protecting Patient Access to Emergency Medications Act of 2017, which governs how emergency medical services (EMS) agencies register with the DEA to handle controlled substances. The correction addresses a typographical error in the amendatory instructions for 21 CFR § 1306.07, which relates to the administration of controlled substances by EMS personnel. Specifically, in the first column of page 5242 of the February 5 publication, paragraph designations in amendatory instruction 15 were incorrectly labeled as '(e)' and '(f)' and should instead read '(g)' and '(h)'. This is a purely procedural correction with no substantive policy change. It ensures that the CFR codification accurately reflects the intended paragraph structure of the regulation, preventing potential confusion in the numbering of regulatory provisions.
