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 
February 1, 2019, SpecGx LLC, 3600 North Second Street, Saint Louis, 
Missouri 63147 applied to be registered as an importer of the following 
basic classes of controlled substances:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Controlled substance           Drug code         Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marihuana............................         7360  I
Phenylacetone........................         8501  II
Coca Leaves..........................         9040  II
Opium, raw...........................         9600  II
Poppy Straw Concentrate..............         9670  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances to 
bulk manufacture into Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for 
distribution to its customers. In reference to drug code 7360 
(marihuana), the company plans to import synthetic cannabidiol. No 
other activity for this drug code is authorized for this registration. 
Placement of these 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: March 21, 2019.
John J. Martin,
Assistant Administrator.
