Importer of Controlled Substances; Registration

    By Notice dated June 29, 1995, and published in the Federal 
Register on July 6, 1995, (60 FR 35226), Penick Corporation, 158 Mount 
Olivet Avenue, Newark, New Jersey 07114, made application to the Drug 
Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of the 
basic classes of controlled substances listed below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Drug                               Schedule         
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coca Leaves (9040).........................  II                         
Opium raw (9600)...........................  II                         
Opium poppy (9650).........................  II                         
Poppy Straw Concentrate (9670).............  II                         
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A registered manufacturer filed a comment requesting that Penick's 
application be denied for consideration of the public interest and 
United States' international commitments. The commentor further stated 
that there is no evidence that Penick is in business or capable of 
entering the business of importing controlled substances. The Drug 
Enforcement Administration (DEA) has conducted inspections of Penick 
and found that the firm has complied with the public interest 
requirements of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Penick's current 
application was filed to renew an importer registration which the firm 
has maintained for several years and under which the firm has imported 
controlled substances in the past in conformance with the CSA and DEA 
regulations. Therefore, pursuant to section 1008(a) of the Controlled 
Substances Import and Export Act and in accordance with Title 21, Code 
of Federal Regulations, Sec. 1311.42, the above firm is granted 
registration as an importer of the basic classes of controlled 
substances listed above.

    Dated: November 16, 1995.

Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
