Drug Enforcement Administration


Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated April 17, 2009, and published in the Federal 
Register on April 29, 2009 (74 FR 19594), Meridian Medical 
Technologies, 2555 Hermelin Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63144, made 
application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to 
be registered as an importer of Morphine (9300), a basic class of 
controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import products for research experimentation 
or clinical use and analytical testing.
    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 Meridian Medical Technologies 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 Meridian Medical Technologies 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 Sec.  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: August 21, 2009.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
