Drug Enforcement Administration


Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Application

    Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(i), the Attorney General shall, prior to 
issuing a registration under this Section to a bulk manufacturer of a 
controlled substance in Schedule I or II and prior to issuing a 
regulation under 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2)(B) authorizing the importation of 
such a substance, provide manufacturers holding registrations for the 
bulk manufacture of the substance an opportunity for a hearing.
    Therefore, in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34(a), this is notice 
that on October 28, 2004, Cambrex Charles City, Inc., 1205 11th Street, 
Charles City, Iowa 50616, made application by renewal to the Drug 
Enforcement Administration (DEA) for registration as an importer of 
Phenylacetone (8501), a basic class of controlled substance listed in 
Schedule II.
    The company plans to import the phenylacetone to manufacture 
amphetamine for distribution to its customers.
    Any manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, registered 
with DEA to manufacture such basic classes of controlled substances may 
file comments or objections to the issuance of the proposed 
registration and may, at the same time, file a written request for a 
hearing on such application pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43 and in such form 
as prescribed by 21 CFR 1316.47.
    Any such comments or objections or requests for hearing may be 
addressed, in quintuplicate, to the Deputy Assistant Administrator, 
Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement Administration, United 
States Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20537, Attention: DEA 
Federal Register Representative, Office of Liaison and Policy (ODLR) 
and must be filed no later than February 3, 2005.
    This procedure is to be conducted simultaneously with and 
independent of the procedures described in 21 CFR 1301.34(b), (c), (d), 
(e) and (f). As noted in a previous notice published in the Federal 
Register on September 23, 1975, (40 FR 43745-46), all applicants for 
registration to import a basic class of any controlled substances in 
Schedule I or II are and will continue to be required to demonstrate to 
the Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration, that the requirements for such registration 
pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(a), 21 U.S.C. 823(a), and 21 CFR 1301.34(b), 
(c), (d), (e) and (f) are satisfied.

    Dated: December 21, 2004.
William J. Walker,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
