[Docket No. DEA-392]


Importer of Controlled Substances Registration: Stepan Company

ACTION: Notice of registration.

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

SUMMARY: Stepan Company applied to be registered as an importer of 
certain basic class of controlled substances. The Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) grants Stepan Company registration as an importer 
of this controlled substance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated April 14, 2015, and 
published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2015, 80 FR 22561, 
Stepan Company, Natural Products Dept., 100 W. Hunter Avenue, Maywood, 
New Jersey 07607 applied to be registered as an importer of a certain 
basic class of controlled substance. Comments and request for hearings 
on applications to import narcotic raw material are not appropriate. 72 
FR 3417 (January 25, 2007).
    The DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and 
958(a) and determined that the registration of Stepan Company to import 
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. 952(a) and 958(a), and in 
accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above-named company is granted 
registration as an importer of coca leaves (9040) a basic class of 
controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance to 
manufacture bulk controlled substances for distribution to its 
customers.

    Dated: July 23, 2015.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator.
