Who issues the Federal Drug Identification Numbers (FDINs)?

The correct answer is that Federal Drug Identification Numbers (FDINs) are issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The DEA is a federal agency under the United States Department of Justice that regulates and enforces controlled substances laws and regulations. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that drugs are appropriately classified and distributed, and issuing FDINs is part of its mandate to maintain oversight of pharmaceutical drugs and controlled substances in the United States.

The National Archives, the National Transportation Center (NTC), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) do not have a role in the issuance of FDINs. The National Archives focuses on preserving and documenting government and historical records, while the NTC is concerned more with transportation safety and administration. The FBI handles a wide range of law enforcement activities, but its primary focus is on criminal investigations and counterterrorism, not specifically on drug identification and regulation.
