If the wholesaler does not have CIIs in stock, how many days do they have to fill the order before a new form is needed?

• A. 30 days
• B. 90 days
• C. 60 days
• D. 120 days

Answer: (C)

When ordering Schedule I and II substances, the process uses a DEA Form 222. The rule is that the supplier has 60 days from the date the form was issued to fill the order or return the unused portions. If the wholesaler does not have the CIIs in stock, that 60-day window still applies; after 60 days, a new form is required to continue the order. This 60-day limit ensures timely processing and prevents stale or unfulfilled orders from lingering. Therefore, the number of days is 60.
