Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request
The DEA published a proposed information collection request related to telemedicine controlled substance prescribing. This could signal upcoming changes to special registration requirements or data collection for cross-state telehealth.

It is rated Medium urgency. Telehealth platforms, virtual specialty clinics, behavioral-health providers, e-prescribers should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Comments due by April 28, 2026 (60 days from publication on 2/26/2026)..
