    The company plans to import Thebaine (9333) analytical reference 
standards for distribution to its customers. The company plans to 
import an intermediate form of Tapentadol (9780) to bulk manufacture 
Tapentadol for distribution 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 Noramco Inc. 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 Noramco Inc. 
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: December 23, 2010.
