"Because of the oversight from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), some doctors fear that prescribing scheduled drugs to their patients in pain could lead to being labeled as overprescribers of narcotics—even when they are very careful to avoid prescribing inappropriate doses to their pain patients."
Hi everybody. Can you please tell me what "oversight from Drug Enforcement Administration" means here? Does it mean error or supervision? And by whom?
Thank you very much in advance.

I would expect 'oversight' here to mean some failure of the DEA to regulate sufficiently or appropriately.
