Manufacturer of Controlled Substances Registration: Rhodes 
Technologies

ACTION: Notice of registration.

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

SUMMARY: Rhodes Technologies applied to be registered as a manufacturer 
of certain basic classes of controlled substances. The Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) grants Rhodes Technologies registration as a 
manufacturer of those controlled substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated January 21, 2015, and 
published in the Federal Register on January 28, 2015, 80 FR 4593, 
Rhodes Technologies, 498 Washington Street, Coventry, Rhode Island 
02816 applied to be registered as a manufacturer of certain basic 
classes of controlled substances. One objection was received on March 
27, 2015. However, after a thorough review of this matter, the Drug 
Enforcement Administration has concluded that the issues raised in the 
objection do not warrant the denial of this application.
    The DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 
determined that the registration of Rhodes Technologies 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:
