Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated April 11, 2011 and published in the Federal 
Register on April 19, 2011, 76 FR 21915, Stepan Company, Natural 
Products Department, 100 W. Hunter Avenue, Maywood, New Jersey 07607, 
made application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration 
(DEA) to be registered as an importer of Coca Leaves (9040), a basic 
class of controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance for the 
manufacture of a bulk controlled substance for distribution to its 
customer.
    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 Stepan Company to import the basic class of controlled 
substance 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 Stepan Company 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 class of controlled substance 
listed.

    Dated: June 8, 2011.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
