    By Notice dated January 23, 2012, and published in the Federal 
Register on January 31, 2012, 77 FR 4831, Mallinckrodt LLC, 3600 North 
Second Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63147, 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phenylacetone (8501).......................  II
Coca Leaves (9040).........................  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 distribution to its 
customers, and for research and analytical standards.
    The company has withdrawn its application for registration to 
import the following drug codes: Methylphenidate (1724), Oxycodone 
(9143), Hydromorphone (9150), Hydrocodone (9193), Morphine (9300), and 
Fentanyl (9801).
    Comments and requests for hearings on applications to import 
narcotic raw material are not appropriate, 72 FR 3417 (2007). Regarding 
all other basic classes of controlled substances, 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 
Mallinckrodt LLC, 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 Mallinckrodt LLC 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: March 23, 2012.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
