    By Notice dated May 14, 2013, and published in the Federal Register 
on May 22, 2013, 78 FR 30330, Arizona Department of Corrections, ASPC-
Florence, 1305 E. Butte Avenue, Florence, Arizona 85132, made 
application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to 
be registered as an importer of Pentobarbital (2270), a basic class of 
controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The facility intends to import the above listed controlled

substance are inadequate and are not available in the form needed 
within the current domestic supply of the United States.
    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 Arizona Department of Corrections to import the basic 
class of controlled substance 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 Arizona Department of Corrections, ASPC-
Florence to ensure that its registration is consistent with the public 
interest. The investigation has included inspection and testing of the 
Arizona Department of Corrections, ASPC-Florence facility's physical 
security systems, verification of its compliance with state and local 
laws, and a review of its background and history.
    Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 952(a) and 958(a), and in 
accordance with 21 CFR Sec.  1301.34, the above named company is 
granted registration as an importer of the basic class of controlled
