    By Notice dated July 29, 2008, and published in the Federal 
Register on August 6, 2008, (73 FR 45779), Chattem Chemicals, Inc., 
3801 St. Elmo Avenue, Building 18, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37409, made 
application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to 
be registered as an importer of the basic classes of controlled 
substances listed in schedule II:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Drug                               Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methamphetamine (1105).....................  II
            Phenylacetone (8501)             II

     Concentrate of Poppy Straw (9670)       II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances to 
manufacture bulk controlled substances for sale to its customers.
    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 Chattem Chemicals, Inc. to import the basic classes of 
controlled substances 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 
Chattem 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 classes of controlled substance listed.
