SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Attorney General has delegated his 
authority under the Controlled Substances Act to the Administrator of 
the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), 28 CFR 0.100(b). Authority 
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 Assistant Administrator of the DEA Diversion Control Division 
(``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 August 
14, 2018, Noramco Inc., 500 Swedes Landing Road, Wilmington, Delaware 
19801-4417 applied to be registered as an importer of the following 
basic classes of controlled substances:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                           Drug
          Controlled substance             code          Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marihuana..............................     7360  I
Tetrahydrocannabinols..................     7370  I
Nabilone...............................     7379  II
Phenylacetone..........................     8501  II
Opium, raw.............................     9600  II
Poppy Straw Concentrate................     9670  II
Tapentadol.............................     9780  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import phenylacetone (8501), and poppy straw 
concentrate (9670) to bulk manufacture other controlled substances for 
distribution to its customers. In reference to drug codes 7360 
(marihuana) and 7370 (THC), the company plans to import a synthetic 
cannabidiol and a synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol. No other activity for 
these drug codes is authorized for this registration. Placement of 
these drug codes 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 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: December 3, 2018.
John J. Martin,
Assistant Administrator.
