Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated October 9, 2008, and published in the Federal 
Register on October 17, 2008 (73 FR 61908), Noramco Inc., 500 Swedes 
Landing Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19801-4417, made application by 
renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered 
as an importer of Opium, Raw (9600) and Concentrate of Poppy Straw 
(9670), basic classes of controlled substances listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances to 
manufacture other controlled substances.
    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 Noramco, 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 
Noramco, 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: January 9, 2009.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
