[Docket No. 7-21]
United Prescription Services, Inc. Revocation of Registration
On February 13, 2007, I, the Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, issued an Order to Show Cause and Immediate Suspension of Registration to United Prescription Services, Inc. (Respondent), of Tampa, Florida. The Order immediately suspended Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration, BU6696073, as a retail pharmacy, based on my preliminary finding that Respondent was diverting large quantities of controlled substances and that its continued registration during the pending of these proceedings "would constitute an imminent danger to the public health and safety because of the substantial likelihood that [it would] continue to divert controlled substances.'' Show Cause Order at 4 (citing 21 U.S.C. 824(d)). The Order also sought the revocation of Respondent's registration on the ground that its "continued registration is inconsistent with the public interest.'' Id. at 1 (citing 21 U.S.C. 823(f) & 824(a)(4)).
