[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 76 (Wednesday, April 21, 1999)] [Notices] [Page 19552] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-9980] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Drug Enforcement Administration [Docket No. 97-8] Leonard E. Reaves III, M.D.; Reinstatement of Registration On August 13, 1998, the then-Acting Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DA) issued a final order revoking DEA Certificate of Registration AR2127377 issued to Leonard E. Reaves III, M.D. (Respondent), effective September 18, 1998. See 63 FR 44,471 (August 19, 1998). The then-Acting Deputy Administrator further ordered that the revocation be stayed for six months from the effective date of the order ``during which time Respondent must present evidence to the Acting Deputy Administrator of his completion of a training course regarding controlled substances, and of his ongoing treatment for his codependency problems [and] must request modification, if necessary, of his 1995 renewal application to accurately reflect what schedules he wishes to be registered in to effectively treat his patient population.'' Id. The then-Acting Deputy Administrator noted that should Respondent submit this information in a timely fashion, a subsequent order would be issued indicating that the conditions have been met, and reinstating and renewing Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration. The then- Acting Deputy Administrator further noted that should Respondent fail to provide this information in a timely manner, the stay would be removed and Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration would be revoked and any pending applications for renewal would be denied. By order dated April 1, 1999, the Deputy Administrator found that more than six months had passed since the effective date of the final order regarding Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration, and Respondent had not presented any evidence to the Deputy Administrator of his completion of a training course regarding controlled substances or of his ongoing treatment for his codependency problems. See 64 FR 17,416 (April 9, 1999). In addition, the order indicated that the Deputy Administrator had not received a request from Respondent to modify his 1995 renewal application. As a result, the Deputy Administrator ordered that effective May 10, 1999, the stay would be removed and Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration would be revoked. It has recently come to the Deputy Administrator's attention that while Respondent did not submit the required information to the Deputy Administrator as directed by the August 13, 1998 final order, he did submit such information to other offices within DEA in a timely manner. Therefore, the Deputy Administrator concludes that Respondent has in fact met the conditions set forth in the August 13, 1908 final order, and as a result the April 1, 1999 final order removing the stay and revoking Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration effective May 10, 1999 is rescinded. The Deputy Administrator further concludes that DEA Certificate of Registration AR2127377 shall be reinstated and renewed in Schedules, II, IIN, III, IIIN, IV and V. Respondent is reminded that he is required to indicate that there has been taken against his DEA Certificate of Registration in response to the liability question on any future applications. Accordingly, the Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, pursuant to the authority vested in him by 21 U.S.C. 823 and 824 and 28 CFR 0.100(b) and 0.104, hereby orders that the April 1, 1999 final order found at 64 FR 17,416 (April 9, 1999), be and it hereby is rescinded. The Deputy Administrator further orders that DEA Certificate of Registration AR2127377, issued to Leonard E. Reaves III, M.D., be, and it hereby is, reinstated and renewed in Schedules II, IIN, III, IIIN, IV and V. This order is effective April 21, 1999. Dated: April 15, 1999. Donnie R. Marshall, Deputy Administrator. [FR Doc. 99-9980 Filed 4-20-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410-09-M
