Import of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By notice dated April 24, 2002, and published in the Federal 
Register on May 17, 2002 (67 FR 35136), Salsbury Chemicals, Inc., 1205 
11th Street, Charles City, Iowa 50616-3466, 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's legal name has since changed to Cambrex 
Charles City, Inc.
    The firm plans to import phenylacetone to manufacture amphetamine 
for distribution to its customers.
    Objections and a request for hearing were timely filed and then 
withdrawn. DEA has considered the factors in title 21, United States 
Code, section 823(a) and determined that the registration of Salsbury 
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 
Salsbury Chemicals, Inc. (now Cambrex Charles City, 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 system, verification 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.

    Dated: March 14, 2003.

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