DEA TO HOST TELECONFERENCE TO ANNOUNCE
FINAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG DISPOSAL REGULATIONS
New process gives Americans simple way to dispose of unwanted, expired medications
Federal officials, including DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart, Acting ONDCP Director Michael Botticelli, and United States Attorney for Vermont Tristram Coffin will participate in a media teleconference to discuss the final regulations for safe and responsible disposal of controlled substances.
As evidenced by the tremendous participation by Americans in all 50 states at the eight National Prescription Drug Take-Back events since 2010, there is a significant need for a clear standard for the safe disposal of controlled substances. These new regulations, which were crafted by DEA following Congressional passage of the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, will be a great benefit to the millions of citizens who want to make their homes and medicine cabinets safe from potential drug diversion and abuse.
Who: Drug Enforcement Administrator Michele M. Leonhart, Acting ONDCP Director Michael Botticelli, United States Attorney Tristram Coffin, and DEA Deputy Assistant Administrator Joseph Rannazzisi, who heads the Office of Diversion Control.
What: Media teleconference and Q&A to discuss final regulations for safe disposal of controlled substances.
When: Monday, September 8th at 12 noon Eastern.

How:  Media call-in number is (512) 879-2046 and the access code is 583147#
