[[Page 51399]]

    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 written 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 September 19, 2011.
    This procedure is to be conducted simultaneously with, and 
independent of, the procedures described in 21 CFR 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, all applicants for 
registration to import a basic class of any controlled substance 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: August 11, 2011.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
