When returning scheduled II drugs, Copy 2 (green) is kept by which party?

When handling scheduled II drug returns, the green copy of the DEA Form 222 serves as the DEA’s official record of the transaction. This copy travels with the drug or its documentation to ensure the agency can track and reconcile all purchases and returns for controlled substances. Because of this purpose, the green copy is kept by the Drug Enforcement Administration, not by the pharmacy, the central fill, or the supplier. The other copies have different roles—one is retained by the supplier and one by the purchaser for internal records—so they are not the agency’s copy.
