DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Drug Enforcement Administration


Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Application

    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 Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), 1301.34(a), this is notice that on April 12, 2010, Boehringer 
Ingelheim Chemicals, Inc., 2820 N. Normandy Drive, Petersburg, Virginia 
23805, made application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of Phenylacetone 
(8501), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance to bulk 
manufacture amphetamine.
    Any bulk manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, 
registered with DEA to manufacture such basic class of controlled 
substance 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 July 28, 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,

[[Page 36684]]

(40 FR 43745-46), all applicants for registration to import a basic 
class of any controlled substance 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: June 17, 2010.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
