<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Respondents explained that eight
states (CA, FL, ID, MN, ND, NM, UT, WI) have one or more police station drop
boxes. Additionally, I am aware of five other states (AR, MA, ME, NH and
TN) where drop boxes are present. Two states described some issues associated
with small businesses disposing their unwanted pharmaceuticals in the drop
boxes as well as other materials such as sharps. These problems were
addressed through education and/or placing the drop boxes in an area that
could be scrutinized more closely.</SPAN></FONT></P>
