Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated June 7, 2011, and published in the Federal Register 
on June 16, 2011, 76 FR 35241, Chattem Chemicals, Inc., 3801 St. Elmo 
Avenue, Building 18, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37409, 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methamphetamine (1105)......................  II
4-Anilino-N-phenethyl-4-piperidine (8333)...  II
Phenylacetone (8501)........................  II
Opium, raw (9600)...........................  II
Poppy Straw Concentrate (9670)..............  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances to 
manufacture bulk controlled substances for sale 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. With regard to all non-Narcotic Raw Material drugs on this 
application 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 Chattem Chemicals, Inc. 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 Chattem Chemicals, Inc. 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: September 28, 2011.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control,
    Drug Enforcement Administration.
