True or False: It is permissible for multiple locations to be covered under a single DEA registration for controlled substances.

A single DEA registration is specific to a particular location and allows that entity to handle controlled substances at that site. Each physical location where controlled substances are stored, dispensed, or administered typically requires its own DEA registration to ensure compliance with federal regulations. This ensures that the DEA can adequately monitor and regulate the handling of controlled substances at each individual site, maintaining the integrity of the drug enforcement system.

For facilities that operate in multiple locations, obtaining separate registrations for each site is essential. This regulation is in place to prevent misuse and to maintain oversight of controlled substances, particularly due to their potential for abuse and the impact on public health and safety. Though there are specific situations or exceptions in other regulated areas, such as emergency situations or commercial distributions, the baseline requirement remains that separate DEA registrations are necessary for each location handling controlled substances.
