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 
registration under 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2) 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 title 21 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), 1301.34(a), this is notice that on May 8, 2007, American Custom 
Chemicals Corporation, 6650 Lusk Boulevard, Suite B102, San Diego, 
California 92121, made application to the Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of Sufentanil 
(9740), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance for 
research purposes only.
    Any bulk manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, 
registered with DEA to manufacture such basic class of controlled 
substance 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 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), 8701 Morrissette Drive, 
Springfield, VA 22152; and must be filed no later than December 31, 
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 43745-43746), 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: November 20, 2007.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
