    By Notice dated July 17, 2012, and published in the Federal 
Register on July 26, 2012, 77 FR 43861, Cody Laboratories, Inc., 601 
Yellowstone Avenue, Cody, Wyoming 82414-9321, 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
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opium, raw (9600)..........................  II
Concentrate Poppy Straw (9670).............  II
Tapentadol (9780)..........................  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

    The company plans to import narcotic raw materials for 
manufacturing and further distribution to its customers.
    The company is registered with DEA as a manufacturer of several 
controlled substances that are manufactured from opium raw, and poppy 
straw concentrate.
    The company plans to import an intermediate form of Tapentadol 
(9780) to bulk manufacture Tapentadol for distribution to its 
customers.
    Comments and requests for hearings on applications to import 
narcotic raw material are not appropriate, 72 FR 3417 (2007). Regarding 
Tapentadol, 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 Cody Laboratories, 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 Cody Laboratories, 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.
