Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated February 19, 2002, and published in the Federal 
Register on March 5, 2002, (67 FR 9988), ISP Freetown Fine Chemicals, 
Inc., 238 South Main Street, Assonet, Massachusetts 02702, made 
application to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) 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 to manufacture 
amphetamine.
    Objections and a request for hearing were timely filed and then 
withdrawn. DEA has considered the factors in Title 21, United States 
Code, 823(a) and determined that the registration of ISP Freetown Fine 
Chemicals, Inc., 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 
ISP Freeman Fine Chemicals, Inc. to ensure that the company's continued 
registration is consistent with the public interest. This investigation 
included inspection and testing of the company's physical security 
systems, certification of the company's compliance with state and local 
laws, and a review of the company's background and history. 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: March 14, 2003.
