DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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 September 27, 2006, Formulation Technologies LLC., 11400 Burnet 
Road, Suite 4010, Austin, Texas 78758, made application to the Drug 
Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of 
Fentanyl (9801), a basic class of controlled substance listed in 
schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance for 
clinical trials, research, analytical purposes, and distribution to its 
customers.
    Any manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, registered 
with DEA to manufacture such basic class 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 written comments or objections being sent via regular mail 
should be addressed, in quintuplicate, to the Deputy Assistant 
Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement 
Administration, Washington, DC 20537, Attention: DEA Federal Register 
Representative/ODL; or any being sent via express mail should be sent 
to DEA Headquarters, Attention: DEA Federal Register Representative/
ODL, 2401 Jefferson-Davis Highway, Alexandria, Virginia 22301; and must 
be filed no later than January 2, 2007.
    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 
substance listed 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: November 21, 2006.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
