[Docket No. DEA-392]


Importer of Controlled Substances Registration: Hospira

ACTION: Notice of registration.

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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated March 20, 2015, and 
published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2015, 80 FR 16426, 
Hospira, 1776 North Centennial Drive, McPherson, Kansas 67460-1247 
applied to be registered as an importer of a certain basic class of 
controlled substance. No comments or objections were submitted for this 
notice.
    The DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and 
958(a) and determined that the registration of Hospira 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 remifentanil (9739) a basic class of 
controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import remifentanil for use in dosage form 
manufacturing.

    Dated: July 29, 2015.

Deputy Assistant Administrator.
