   1. (A) For purposes of registration only, the following locations shall be deemed not to be places where controlled substances are manufactured, distributed, or dispensed:

      1. 1. A warehouse where controlled sub-

stances are stored by or on behalf of a registered person, unless these substances are distributed directly from the warehouse to registrants other than the registered person or to persons not required to register;

1. 2. An office used by agents of a regis-

trant where sales of controlled substances are solicited, made, or supervised but which neither contains these substances (other than substances for display purposes or lawful distribution as samples only) nor serves as a distribution point for filling sales orders;

1. 3. An office used by a practitioner (who

is registered at another location) where controlled substances are prescribed but neither administered nor otherwise dispensed as a regular part of the professional practice of the practitioner at the office and where no supplies of controlled substances are maintained;

1. 4. A location on the immediate or con-

tiguous property of a hospital, provided that the location is owned and operated by the hospital and controlled substances are not dispensed for use away from the location;

1. 5. A separate location from a registered

pre-hospital emergency medical service location where an emergency vehicle is housed that does not have a permanent location of operation; and

1. 6. A pre-hospital emergency medical

service located outside the state of Missouri that renders assistance to a pre-hospital emergency medical service located in the state of Missouri under a mutual aid contract in the case of an emergency, major catastrophe, or other unforeseen event that jeopardizes the ability of the local Missouri pre-hospital emergency medical service to promptly respond.

1. (B) A separate registration is not required for each separate practice location for an individual practitioner who has a temporary location registration.
