Which DEA form is used for reporting theft or significant loss of controlled substances?

When a theft or significant loss of controlled substances occurs, the key obligation is to report it to the DEA using the form created for that purpose. DEA Form 106 is specifically designed to document and report theft or significant loss of controlled substances, including details about what was taken, when and where the loss was discovered, and the actions taken. This form ensures timely notification to the DEA and helps trigger any investigative or compliance steps that follow such incidents. The other forms have different uses: Form 222 is for ordering Schedule I and II substances, Form 363 is for opioid treatment program registration with the DEA, and Form 41 is used for the disposal or destruction of controlled substances. None of these address reporting theft or loss.
