<div>In my conversations with DEA, they are very surprised and disappointed about the low number if retail collectors. That's what they were counting on. I think it's a multi-faceted - share the burden -solution. I believe we will get there. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#000099"> The nine DEA National Take-Back Initiatives were a bargain because of a lot of volunteer time donations from Law Enforcement, the National Guard,
Public Utility staff, Environmental groups and DEA, and because DEA picked up the tab for the destruction. The logistical challenges were significant, as transporters gathered up collected drugs from consolidation points at law enforcement locations across
the state and trucked them to the incinerators. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#000099"> Virginia is looking at continuing the two Drug Take-Back events on set Saturdays, maybe in April and September since the DEA events got folks
in the habit of expecting them. We haven’t seen much interest for housing collection boxes or supporting the mail-back programs for a variety of reasons. Even with Covanta Incinerators offering us free destruction of the collected drugs, costs are estimated
at $50,000-60,000 per event and that still includes a lot of donated time. Funding must be present or we can’t do it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">My answer to Jeff (below) is "yes", more consumers would be safely dispose of unwanted medications if the DEA reinstated the Take Back Initiative.
<br>
<br>
I think it is a great idea for the DEA to reinstate the Take Back Initiative on an interim basis. It was a hugely successful program that made it easy for almost 4000 law enforcement departments to have more than 5200 collection sites at the last take back
event. With the loss of DEA support, many of these communities no longer have a safe disposal option.<br>
<br>
The new DEA rule allows, but does not mandate or fund, authorized distributors to apply to become a take back location. Only time will tell how many pharmacies, reverse distributors, and narcotic treatment centers sign up to pay for controlled substance take
back. <br>
<br>
Also, as far as I have been able to determine, there are still nine states (AR, AZ, HI, IL, MN, MS, NY TX, CT) that have rules blocking authorized distributors from doing take back of controlled substances. These states will eventually change their rules to
be in compliance with the new DEA rule. <br>
<br>
So far, I have not seen any evidence of large numbers of take back programs for controlled substances being approved.
<br>
<br>
The Supreme Court decision (to let a Federal District Court decision upholding the Alameda County EPR law stand) is encouraging and will certainly lead to similar laws being passed in other communities. It is hard to imagine that this decision will lead to
a sudden, large surge in similar laws. I don't see it having much of an impact on the nationwide availability of safe disposal options in the near future.<br>
<br>
Congress should direct the DEA to reinstate the Take Back Initiative. The program should continue until there is evidence that ongoing programs (both voluntary and EPR mandated) are widely available throughout the nation.<br>
<br>
Removing unwanted pharmaceuticals from homes and safely disposing of them helps address multiple problems of national significance:<br>
illegal diversion<br>
accidental overdoses<br>
and <br>
environmental contamination<br>
<br>
The DEA supported program was effective, necessary, and a bargain! If we help motivate Congress to act, it will be again.
