§ 31.111. Storage and security of drugs for euthanasia, certificates of registration and drug order forms.
(a) A certificate holder shall store all drugs for euthanasia in accordance with the Federal regulations at the level of security required for practitioners at 21 CFR 1301.71—1301.77 (relating to security requirements). The level of security required may vary depending on the registered location, the number of employees and other personnel who have access to the area where drugs for euthanasia are stored, the quantity of drugs for euthanasia kept on hand and the prior history of theft or diversion. Specific questions regarding the adequacy of security measures shall be directed to the DEA.
(b) A certificate holder shall provide for the storage, security and disposal of drugs for euthanasia at the shelter. Acceptable storage and security are required at the location for which the animal protection organization is registered with the Board and the DEA. Expired drugs shall be disposed of in accordance with Federal law and implementing regulations at 21 CFR Part 1317 (relating to disposal).
(c) A certificate holder shall store all drugs for euthanasia in a securely locked, substantially constructed cabinet which is securely attached to the building in which it is housed, and which is accessible only to personnel authorized by the animal protection organization to have access to the drugs. A list of individuals authorized to have access to the drugs shall be provided to the Board upon initial inspection, reinspection or upon request.
(d) A certificate holder shall store drugs for euthanasia in an environment that meets the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper storage.
(e) A certificate holder shall maintain its original DEA Certificate of Registration in the cabinet or safe or separately in a securely locked metal container within the cabinet or safe, as appropriate, so that it is accessible only to the shelter director in charge of ordering or purchasing drugs for euthanasia or an individual who has a current DEA Certificate of Registration.
(f) A certificate holder shall secure unexecuted order forms for Schedule II drugs (DEA Form 222) in a cabinet or safe or separately in a securely locked metal container within the cabinet or safe, as appropriate, which is accessible only to the shelter director or an individual who has a current DEA Certificate of Registration for Schedule II drugs.
