Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of the following 
basic classes of controlled substances:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Drug                               Schedule

Opium, raw (9600)..........................  II

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

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances as raw 
materials, to be used in the manufacture of bulk controlled substances, 
for distribution to its customers.
    Comments and requests for hearings on applications to import 
narcotic raw material are not appropriate. 72 FR 3417, (January 25, 
2007).
    In reference to the non-narcotic raw material, no comments or 
objections have been received. The company plans to import gram amounts 
to be used as reference standards for distribution to its customers.
    The DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a) 
and determined that the registration of Johnson Matthey, 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. The DEA 
has investigated Johnson Matthey, 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.
