    By a Notice dated June 17, 2010, and published in the Federal

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raw Opium (9600)...........................  II

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances in 
order to bulk manufacture controlled substances in Active 
Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) form. The company distributes the 
manufactured API's in bulk form only to its customers.
    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 Rhodes Technologies to import the basic classes of 
controlled substances is consistent with the public interest, and with 
United States obligations under international treaties, conventions, or 
protocols in effect on May 1, 1971. DEA has investigated Rhodes 
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 958(a), and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above 
named company is granted registration as an importer of the basic 
classes of controlled substances listed.

    Dated: November 1, 2010.

Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
