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

    The company plans to import small quantities of the listed 
controlled substances for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) 
for research activities.
    In addition to the basic classes of controlled substances mentioned 
previously in this Notice of Registration, the Notice of Application 
(75 FR 36681), dated June 17, 2010, and published in the Federal 
Register on June 28, 2010, also stated that the Research Triangle 
Institute made application to be registered as an importer of the 
following schedule I controlled substances:

N-[1-benzyl-4-piperidyl]-N-phenylpropanamide (benzylfentanyl) (drug 
code: 9818)
N-[1-(2-thienyl)methyl-4-piperidyl]-N-phenylpropanamide 
(thenylfentanyl) (drug code: 9834)

    By Notice dated June 19, 2010, and published in the Federal 
Register on June 29, 2010, (75 FR 37300), the DEA issued a rulemaking 
in the form of a Final Rule to correct Title 21, Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), specifically: 21 CFR 1308.11(g), by deleting 
regulations which listed benzylfentanyl (drug code: 9818) and 
thenylfentanyl (drug code: 9834) as being temporarily subject to 
schedule I controls under the emergency scheduling provisions of the 
Controlled Substances Act (CSA). DEA determined that these compounds 
were both essentially inactive, with no evidence of abuse potential. 
Pursuant to June 19th rulemaking (75 FR 37300), effective June 29, 
2010, both benzylfentanyl (drug code: 9818) and thenylfentanyl (drug 
code: 9834) were no longer legally deemed to be controlled substances. 
Thus, neither benzylfentanyl (drug code: 9818) nor thenylfentanyl (drug 
code: 9834) is listed in this Notice of Registration despite being 
originally listed in the Notice of Application. (75 FR 36681)
    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 Research Triangle Institute 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 Research Triangle Institute 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.
