expiration date; registration for independent activities; application 
forms, fees, contents and signature; coincident activities.

    (a) Any person who is required to be registered and who is not so 
registered may apply for registration at any time. No person required to 
be registered shall engage in any activity for which registration is 
required until the application for registration is granted and a 
Certificate of Registration is issued by the Administrator to such 
person.
    (b) Any person who is registered may apply to be reregistered not 
more than 60 days before the expiration date of his/her registration, 
except that a bulk manufacturer of Schedule I or II controlled 
substances or an importer of Schedule I or II controlled substances may 
apply to be reregistered no more than 120 days before the expiration 
date of their registration.
    (c) At the time a manufacturer, distributor, researcher, analytical 
lab, importer, exporter or narcotic treatment program is first 
registered, that business activity shall be assigned to one of twelve 
groups, which shall correspond to the months of the year. The expiration 
date of the registrations of all registrants within any group will be 
the last date of the month designated for that group. In assigning any 
of the above business activities to a group, the Administration may 
select a group the expiration date of which is less than one year from 
the date such business activity was registered. If the business activity 
is assigned to a group which has an expiration date less than three 
months from the date of which the business activity is registered, the 
registration shall not expire until one year from that expiration date; 
in all other cases, the registration shall expire on the expiration date 
following the date on which the business activity is registered.
    (d) At the time a retail pharmacy, hospital/clinic, practitioner or 
teaching institution is first registered, that business activity shall 
be assigned to one of twelve groups, which shall correspond to the 
months of the year. The expiration date of the registrations of all 
registrants within any group will be the last day of the month 
designated for that group. In assigning any of the above business 
activities to a group, the Administration may select a group the 
expiration date of which is not less than 28 months nor more than 39 
months from the date such business activity was registered. After the 
initial registration period, the registration shall expire 36 months 
from the initial expiration date.
    (e) Any person who is required to be registered and who is not so 
registered, shall make application for registration for one of the 
following groups of controlled substances activities, which are deemed 
to be independent of each other. Application for each registration shall 
be made on the indicated form, and shall be accompanied by the indicated 
fee. Fee payments shall be made

[[Page 16]]

in the form of a personal, certified, or cashier's check or money order 
made payable to the ``Drug Enforcement Administration''. The application 
fees are not refundable. Any person, when registered to engage in the 
activities described in each subparagraph in this paragraph, shall be 
authorized to engage in the coincident activities described without 
obtaining a registration to engage in such coincident activities, 
provided that, unless specifically exempted, he/she complies with all 
requirements and duties prescribed by law for persons registered to 
engage in such coincident activities. Any person who engages in more 
than one group of independent activities shall obtain a separate 
registration for each group of activities, except as provided in this 
paragraph under coincident activities. A single registration to engage 
in any group of independent activities listed below may include one or 
more controlled substances listed in the schedules authorized in that 
group of independent activities. A person registered to conduct research 
with controlled substances listed in Schedule I may conduct research 
with any substances listed in Schedule I for which he/she has filed and 
had approved a research protocol.
