[Docket No. DEA-392]


Manufacturer of Controlled Substances Registration: Apertus 
Pharmaceuticals

ACTION: Notice of registration.

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

SUMMARY: Apertus Pharmaceuticals applied to be registered as a 
manufacturer of a certain basic class of controlled substance. The DEA 
grants Apertus Pharmaceuticals registration as a manufacturer of the 
controlled substance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated May 28, 2014, and published 
in the Federal Register on June 4, 2014, 79 FR 32321, Apertus 
Pharmaceuticals, 331 Consort Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63011, applied 
to be registered as a manufacturer of a certain basic class of 
controlled substance. No comments or objections were submitted to this 
notice.
    The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has considered the 
factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and determined that the registration of 
Apertus Pharmaceuticals to manufacture 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. 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 Remifentanil (9739), a basic class of controlled 
substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to manufacture small quantities of the listed 
controlled substance to make reference standards for distribution to 
their customers.
    On March 27, 2014, Apertus Pharmaceuticals withdrew its request for 
the addition of Alfentanil (9737), Sufentanil (9740), and Fentanyl 
(9801) to this registration.

    Dated: January 9, 2015.

Deputy Assistant Administrator.
