Administration (DEA) grants Stepan Company registration as a 
manufacturer of those controlled substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated April 14, 2015, and 
published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2015, 80 FR 22555, 
Stepan Company, Natural Products Department, 100 W. Hunter Avenue, 
Maywood, New Jersey 07607 applied to be registered as a manufacturer 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(a) and 
determined that the registration of Stepan Company 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 following basic classes of controlled substances:

Ecgonine (9180)............................  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to manufacture the listed controlled substances 
in bulk for distribution to its customers.
