Drug Enforcement Administration


Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated November 21, 2006 and published in the Federal 
Register on December 1, 2006, (71 FR 69590), Hospira, Inc., 1776 North 
Centennial Drive, McPherson, Kansas 67460-1247, made application by 
renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered 
as an importer of Remifentanil (9739), a basic class of controlled 
substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import Remifentanil for use in dosage form 
manufacturing.
    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 Hospira, Inc to import the basic classes 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 
Hospira, 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 section 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 substance listed.

    Dated: June 26, 2007.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
