10.0pt">This web page says, "Please check back in March to locate collection sites near you." I've been checking back every day hoping to find information on how to sign up.
If the DEA expects to know who is participating by March, it seemed to me that sign-up should begin soon. Made some phone calls to DEA as well (which I don't recommend doing unless you have a reliable contact there or it's absolutely necessary.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:

to DEC HQ that they change "March" to "April" in, "Please check back in March to locate collection sites near you."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:

events.) I also requested that the DEA pick-up collected material later in the afternoon to allow us time to do some inventory data collection. Finally, I asked that some collection locations be allowed to deliver their material (with proper chain of custody
transfer) to our central collection. I was told there is precedent for this gathering material from multiple sites to one location for DEA pick-up. Our hope is we would have time to inventoried the controlled substances from those sites as well. I'll send
out an update with their reply, once it's received.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:

<p class="MsoPlainText"><font size="2" face="Courier New"><span style="font-size:
10.0pt">2. Hold our collections on the same day (which we picked before the DEA announced their date) and get permits, as we have in the past, through the NYS DOH Bureau of Narcotic
Enforcement and the NYS DEC. Unlike the easy DEA registration process, state permitting requires significant effort. We could then inventory as planned.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
