Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Application

    Pursuant to Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations 1301.34(a), this 
is notice that on December 19, 2008, Mallinckrodt Inc., 3600 North 
Second Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63147, made application by renewal 
to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for registration as an 
importer of the basic classes of controlled substances listed in 
schedule II:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Drug                               Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phenylacetone (8501).......................  II
Coca Leaves (9040).........................  II
Opium, raw (9600)..........................  II
Poppy Straw (9650).........................  II
Poppy Straw Concentrate (9670).............  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances for 
the manufacture of controlled substances in bulk for distribution to 
its customers.
    No comments, objections, or requests for any hearings will be 
accepted on any application for registration or re-registration to 
import crude opium, poppy straw, concentrate of poppy straw or coca 
leaves. As explained in the Correction to Notice of Application 
pertaining to Rhodes Technologies, 72 FR 3417 (2007), comments and 
requests for hearings on applications to import narcotic raw material 
are not appropriate.
    Any bulk manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, 
registered with DEA to manufacture such basic classes of controlled 
substances listed in schedule I or II, which fall under the authority 
of section 1002(a)(2)(B) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2)(B)) may, in 
the circumstances set forth in 21 U.S.C. 958(i), file comments or 
objections to the issuance of the proposed registration and may, at the 
same time, file a written request for a hearing on such application 
pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43 and in such form as prescribed by 21 CFR 
1316.47.
    Any such comments or objections should be addressed, in 
quintuplicate, to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of 
Diversion Control, Federal Register Representative (ODL), 8701 
Morrissette Drive, Springfield, VA 22152; and must be filed no later 
than March 9, 2009.
    This procedure is to be conducted simultaneously with and 
independent of the procedures described in 21 CFR 1301.34(b), (c), (d), 
(e), and (f). As noted in a previous notice published in the Federal 
Register on September 23, 1975, (40 FR 43745), all applicants for 
registration to import a basic class of any controlled substances in 
schedule I or II are, and will continue to be, required to demonstrate 
to the Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, 
Drug Enforcement Administration, that the requirements for such 
registration pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(a); 21 U.S.C. 823(a); and 21 CFR 
1301.34(b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) are satisfied.

    Dated: January 30, 2009.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
