ACTION: Notice of registration.

SUMMARY: Stepan Company applied to be registered as a manufacturer of 
certain basic classes of controlled substances. The DEA grants Stepan 
Company registration as a manufacturer of those controlled substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated May 28, 2014, and published 
in the Federal Register on June 4, 2014, 79 FR 32320, Stepan Company, 
Natural Products Dept., 100 W. Hunter Avenue, Maywood, New Jersey

    The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has considered the 
factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and determined that the registration of 
Stepan Company to manufacture 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, verifying the 
company's compliance with state and local laws, and reviewing the 
company's background and history.
    Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 823(a), and in accordance with 21 
CFR 1301.33, the above-named company is granted registration as a bulk 
manufacturer of the basic classes of controlled substances listed:

Ecgonine (9180)............................  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to manufacture the listed controlled substances 
in bulk for distribution to its customers.
