ACTION: Notice of registration.

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

SUMMARY: Rhodes Technologies applied to be registered as an importer of 
certain basic classes of controlled substances. The DEA grants Rhodes 
Technologies registration as an importer of those controlled 
substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated May 28, 2014, and published 
in the Federal Register on June 4, 2014, 79 FR 32317, Rhodes 
Technologies, 498 Washington Street, Coventry, Rhode Island 02816, 
applied to be registered as an importer of certain basic classes of 
controlled substances. Comments and requests for hearings on 
applications to import narcotic raw material are not appropriate. 72 FR 
3417 (January 25, 2007).
    The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has considered the 
factors in 21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and 958(a) and determined that the 
registration of Rhodes Technologies 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 investigated the company's 
maintenance of effective controls against diversion by inspecting and 
testing the company's physical security systems, verified the company's 
compliance with state and local laws, and reviewed 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 narcotic or non-
narcotic controlled substances listed:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Controlled substance                       Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opium, raw (9600)..........................  II
Poppy Straw Concentrate (9670).............  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances in 
order to bulk manufacture controlled substances in Active 
Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) form. The company distributes the 
manufactured APIs in bulk to its customers.

    Dated: August 11, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Administrator.
