Copy 2 of the DEA Form 222 is forwarded to the supplier and then sent to the DEA. Which copy is this?

• A. Copy 1
• B. Copy 2
• C. Copy 3
• D. Copy 4

Answer: (B)

DEA Form 222 uses three copies, each with a different destination to keep the ordering and accountability clear. The copy that travels from the purchaser to the supplier and then onward to the DEA is the green copy, the one designated to go to the DEA. The green copy is the official record that the DEA reviews to track scheduled substance transactions. The brown copy stays with the supplier as their file of the sale, and the blue copy remains with the purchaser for their records. This arrangement helps ensure traceability and compliance for controlled substances.
