EPA met with representatives of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores and its members.  

They conveyed some key concerns that they hope will be addressed by the proposed hazardous waste pharmaceuticals rule:

   1. Reverse Distribution
   2. P-listed pharmaceuticals (e.g., nicotine) driving large quantity generator (LQG) status

They remarked that state Board of Pharmacy rules and FDA rules make reuse and donation of pharmaceuticals difficult.
