Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated March 27, 2008 and published in the Federal 
Register on April 2, 2008, (73 FR 18000), Stepan Company, Natural 
Products Department, 100 W. Hunter Avenue, Maywood, New Jersey 07607, 
made application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration 
(DEA) to be registered as an importer of Coca Leaves (9040), a basic 
class of controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance for the 
manufacture of a bulk controlled substance for distribution to its 
customer.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and Sec.  952(a) and determined that 
the registration of Stepan Company to import the basic class of 
controlled substance 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 
Stepan Company 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 
substance listed.

    Dated: June 20, 2008.
