Pharmaceutical Materials, 2003 Nolte Drive, West Deptford, New Jersey

    The company plans to import the controlled substances as raw 
materials for use in the manufacture of bulk controlled substances for 
distribution to its customers.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a) and determined that the 
registration of Johnson Matthey Inc. to import the basic class of 
controlled substances 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 
Johnson Matthey Inc. to ensure that the company's registration is 
consistent with the public interest. The investigation has included 
inspection and testing of the company's physical security systems, 
verification of the company's compliance with state and local laws, and 
a review of the company's background and history. Therefore, pursuant 
to 21 U.S.C. 952(a) and 958(a), and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, 
the above named company is granted registration as an importer of the 
basic class of controlled substances listed.

     Dated: July 10, 2006.
