Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated December 17, 1998 and published in the Federal 
Register on December 29, 1998 (63 FR 71655), B.I. Chemicals, Inc., 2820 
N. Normandy Drive, Petersburg, Virginia 23805, made application to the 
Drug Enforcement Administration to be registered as an importer of 
phenylacetone (8501), a basic class of controlled substance listed in 
Schedule II.
    The firm plans to import the phenylacetone for the bulk manufacture 
of amphetamine.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in Title 21, United States Code, Section 823(a) and 
determined that the registration of B.I. Chemicals, Inc. to import 
phenylacetone is consistent with the public interest and with United 
States obligations under international treaties, conventions, or 
protocols in effect on May 1, 1971, at this time. DEA has investigated 
B.I. Chemicals, Inc. to ensure that the company's registration is 
consistent with the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to Section 
1008(a) of the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act and in 
accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1301.34, 
the above firm is granted registration as an importer of the basic 
class of controlled substance listed above.

    Dated: April 26, 1999.
