Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated July 30, 2008 and published in the Federal Register 
on August 6, 2008 (73 FR 45781), Boehringer Ingelheim Chemicals, Inc., 
2820 N. Normandy Drive, Petersburg, Virginia 23805, made application by 
renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered 
as an importer of Phenylacetone (8501), a basic class of controlled 
substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance to bulk 
manufacture amphetamine.
    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 Boehringer Ingelheim Chemicals, Inc. 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 Boehringer Ingelheim Chemicals, 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 
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: October 21, 2008.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
