<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">All – Please correct me if I am wrong, but when I read the proposed requirements for the inner liner I assumed that our 14 inch cube boxes with plastic liners
would be the “liner” of our dVault collection containers. When our units are serviced by police officers or evidence room techs, the plastic liner is folded into the cube box which is custody sealed and entered into the police evidence room with a unique tracking
number. The boxes are opaque, no one goes through the contents prior to sealing, and the box is given a tracking number. As far as I can see, the only requirement we may not be meeting is: “size of inner liner must be clearly marked on the outside of the
liner.” I would think a sharpie could remedy this requirement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Regarding Collection Receptacles. In addition to the New Proposed DEA Regulations for receptacles mentioned previously, DEA is proposing New Regulations for the inner liner of containers. Details can be found on pages 125-127 of the proposed Rules. Entities
looking at purchasing collection receptacles should inquire with collection receptacle manufacturers how their products address those new requirements for inner liners as well as the new requirements for the Collection Receptacles.<br>
<br>
Our system will be using barcode identification and tracking of all Jugs/inner liners with an outer container meeting all requirements of the proposed rules.<br>
