    Abstract: Each regulated person is required to report any unusual 
or excessive loss or disappearance of a listed chemical, and any 
regulated transaction in a tableting or encapsulating machine, to 
include any domestic regulated transaction in a tableting or 
encapsulating machine and any import or export of a tableting or 
encapsulating machine. 21 U.S.C. 830 (b)(1)(A), (C) and (D); 21 CFR 
1310.05(a)(1), (3)-(4); 21 CFR 1310.05(c). Regulated persons include 
manufacturers, distributors, importers, and exporters of listed 
chemicals, tableting machines, or encapsulating machines, or persons 
who serve as brokers or traders for international transactions 
involving a listed chemical, tableting machine, or encapsulating 
machine. 21 CFR 1300.02(b). This report will be submitted 
electronically. DEA will be modifying this collection (1117-0024) and 
collection 1117-0001 by removing Form 107 from this collection and 
adding it to 1117-0001 because

DEA Form 107 is more aligned with DEA Form 106 (which is approved under 
1117-0001).
