Importer of Controlled Substances Registration: Fisher Clinical 
Services, Inc.

ACTION: Notice of registration.

SUMMARY: Fisher Clinical Services, Inc. applied to be registered as an 
importer of certain basic classes of controlled substances. The Drug 
Enforcement Administration (DEA) grants Fisher Clinical Services, Inc. 
registration as an importer of those controlled substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated August 27, 2014, and 
published in the Federal Register on September 4, 2014, 79 FR 52762, 
Fisher Clinical Services, Inc., 700A-C Nestle Way, Breinigsville, 
Pennsylvania 18031-1522 applied to be registered as an importer of 
certain basic classes of controlled substances. 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 Fisher Clinical 
Services, Inc. to import 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. 952(a) and 958(a), and in 
accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above-named company is granted 
registration as an importer of the basic classes of controlled 
substances:
