SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Attorney General has delegated her

to exercise all necessary functions with respect to the promulgation 
and implementation of 21 CFR part 1301, incident to the registration of 
manufacturers, distributors, dispensers, importers, and exporters of 
controlled substances (other than final orders in connection with 
suspension, denial, or revocation of registration) has been redelegated 
to the Deputy Assistant Administrator of the DEA Office of Diversion 
Control (``Deputy Assistant Administrator'') pursuant to section 7 of 
28 CFR part 0, appendix to subpart R.
    In accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34(a), this is notice that on 
October 1, 2015, Hospira, 1776 North Centennial Drive, McPherson, 
Kansas 67460-1247 applied to be registered 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. Placement of this drug code onto the company's 
registration does not translate into automatic approval of subsequent 
permit applications to import controlled substances. Approval of permit 
applications will occur only when the registrant's business activity is 
consistent with what is authorized under to 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2). 
Authorization will not extend to the import of FDA approved or non-
approved finished dosage forms for commercial sale.

    Dated: January 4, 2016.
Louis J. Milione,
Deputy Assistant Administrator.
