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) 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 June 2, 2008, Wildlife 
Laboratories, 1401 Duff Drive, Suite 400, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, 
made application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration 
(DEA) to be registered as an importer of Etorphine Hydrochloride 
(9059), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance for 
sale to its customers.
    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 written comments or objections should be addressed, in 
quintuplicate, to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of 
Diversion Control, Federal Register Representative (ODL), 8701 
Morrissette Drive, Springfield, Virginia 22152; and must be filed no 
later than September 5, 2008.
    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), 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: July 29, 2008.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
