    No comments, objections, or requests for any hearings will be 
accepted on any application for registration or re-registration to 
import crude opium, [Raw Opium (9600)], poppy straw, concentrate of 
poppy straw, and coca leaves.
    Any bulk manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, 
registered with DEA to manufacture such basic classes of controlled 
substances listed in schedule I or II, which fall under the authority 
of section 1002(a)(2)(B) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2)(B) may, in the 
circumstances set forth in 21 U.S.C. 958(i), 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 being sent via regular mail should 
be addressed, in quintuplicate, to the Drug Enforcement Administration, 
Office of Diversion Control, Federal Register Representative (ODL), 
Washington, DC 20537, or any being sent via express mail should be sent 
to Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of Diversion Control, 
Federal Register Representative (ODL), 2401 Jefferson Davis Highway,

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 
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.
