SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Controlled Substances Act (CSA)

basic class(es), and applicants therefor, may file written comments on

of the merits of the application submitted.
The applicant plans to manufacture bulk active pharmaceutical
ingredients (APIs) for product development and distribution to DEA
registered researchers. If the application for registration is granted,
the registrant would not be authorized to conduct other activity under
this registration aside from those coincident activities specifically

registration as a bulk manufacturer for compliance with all applicable
laws, treaties, and regulations and to ensure adequate safeguards
against diversion are in place.
