<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Attached are draft comments on the new DEA rules. This document also just went to the Coalition for Safe Medication Disposal, that I chair, and our local law enforcement partners. This means, at least for now, the attached comments are my opinions only. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd be happy to get your suggestions for improvements. This could be edits to these comments as well as additional topics you think we may want to add. Thanks!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Feel free to utilize what you want from this in your own comments to the DEA.</DIV>
