    The company plans to import small quantities of the listed 
controlled substances for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) 
for research activities.
    No comments, objections, or requests for any hearings will be 
accepted on any application for registration or re-registration to 
import crude opium, poppy straw, concentrate of poppy straw, and coca 
leaves. As explained in the Correction to Notice of Application 
pertaining to Rhodes Technologies, 72 FR 3417 (2007), comments and 
requests for hearings on applications to import narcotic raw material 
are not appropriate.
    Any bulk manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, 
registered with DEA to manufacture such basic classes of controlled 
substances listed in schedule I or II, which fall under the authority 
of section 1002(a)(2)(B) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 952 (a)(2)(B)) may, in 
the circumstances set forth in 21 U.S.C. 958(i), 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 August 4, 2011.
    This procedure is to be conducted simultaneously with, and 
independent of, the procedures described in 21 CFR Sec.  1301.34(b), 
(c), (d), (e), and (f). As noted in a previous notice published in the 
Federal Register on September 23, 1975, 40 FR 43745-46, all applicants 
for registration to import a basic classes of any controlled substances 
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 23, 2011.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
