Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By a Notice dated April 28, 2011, and published in the Federal 
Register on May 4, 2011 76 FR 25374, Rhodes Technologies, 498 
Washington Street, Coventry, Rhode Island 02816, made application by 
renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered 
as an importer of the following basic classes of controlled substances:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Drug                               Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raw Opium (9600).............                                         II
Concentrate of Poppy Straw                                            II
 (9670)......................
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
    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.
    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: August 11, 2011.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
