Which agency requires that a logbook for pseudoephedrine/ephedrine purchases be kept for at least 2 years?

The DEA is the agency behind this requirement. Under the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act, sales of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are tightly controlled, and retailers must keep a log of each purchase and retain those records for at least two years. This tracking helps prevent meth production and allows authorities to spot suspicious buying patterns. The FDA, CMS, and NIH don’t impose this specific two-year logbook retention requirement.
