    The company plans to import small quantities of the listed 
controlled substances for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) 
for research activities.

[[Page 27349]]

    Any bulk manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, 
registered with DEA to manufacture such basic classes of controlled 
substances 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 comments or objections being sent via regular mail should 
be addressed, in quintuplicate, to the Drug Enforcement Administration, 
Office of Diversion Control, Federal Register Representative (ODL), 
Washington, DC 20537, or any being sent via express mail should be sent 
to Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of Diversion Control, 
Federal Register Representative (ODL), 8701 Morrissette Drive, 
Springfield, Virginia 22152; and must be filed no later than July 9, 
2009.
    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 43745-46), all 
applicants for registration to import a basic class of any controlled 
substances 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.
