Summary: The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) supports the ATF's effort to clarify the definition of an unlawful user of controlled substances but requests specific language updates. They argue that the regulation should use the terms "licensed practitioner" and "prescribing practitioner" instead of "physician" to ensure that patients receiving lawful prescriptions from nurse practitioners are not incorrectly deemed unlawful users.
