    Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(i), the Attorney General shall, prior to 
issuing a registration under this Section to a bulk manufacturer of a 
controlled substance in schedule I or II, and prior to issuing a 
regulation under 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2), authorizing the importation of 
such a substance, provide manufacturers holding registrations for the 
bulk manufacture of the substance an opportunity for a hearing.
    Therefore, in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34(a), this is notice 
that on October 20, 2009, Tocris Cookson, Inc., 16144 Westwoods 
Business Park, Ellisville, Missouri 63021-4500, made application

[[Page 65789]]

by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be 
registered as an importer of the basic classes of controlled substances 
listed in schedules I and II:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Drug                               Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marihuana (7360)...........................   I
Tetrahydrocannabinols (7370)...............   I
4-Bromo-2, 5-dimethoxyamphetamine..........   I

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import small quantities of the above listed 
controlled substances for non-clinical, laboratory-based research only.
    In reference to drug code 7360 (Marihuana), the company plans to 
import synthetic cannabinoid agonists. In reference to drug code 7370 
(Tetrahydrocannabinols), the company will import a synthetic Delta-9-
THC. No other activity for these drug codes are authorized for this 
registration.
    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 should be addressed, in 
quintuplicate, to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of 
Diversion Control, Federal Register Representative (ODL), 8701 
Morrissette Drive, Springfield, Virginia 22152; and must be filed no 
later than January 11, 2010.
    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.

    Dated: December 1, 2009.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
