Copy 1 (brown) of the DEA Form 222 is kept by which party?

DEA Form 222 uses three copies with different destinations. The brown Copy 1 is the supplier’s record; it stays with the supplier to document the order and how the controlled substances are disposed of or shipped. Copy 2 is sent to the DEA, and Copy 3 is kept by the purchaser (such as the pharmacy) for its records. This setup creates an auditable trail and helps prevent diversion. So the brown copy is indeed kept by the supplier.
