"fentanyl"

Run against the full text of the Federal Register, published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives. One document counts once, however many times the words appear, and a passing mention counts the same as a whole rule.

Since 2016, about four in ten of these documents are routine DEA notices about companies registered to make or import controlled substances.
