Register on August 18, 2011, 76 FR 51399, Aptuit, 10245 Hickman Mills 
Drive, Kansas City, Missouri 64137, 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marihuana (7360)...........................  I

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import a finished pharmaceutical product 
containing cannabis extracts in dosage form for packaging for a 
clinical trial study. In addition, the company also plans to import an 
ointment for the treatment of wounds which contains trace amounts of 
the controlled substances normally found in poppy straw concentrate for 
packaging and labeling for clinical trials.
    Comments and requests for hearings on applications to import 
narcotic raw material are not appropriate. 72 FR 3417 (2007).
    DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a), and 
determined that the registration of Aptuit 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 Aptuit 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
