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
------------------------------------------------------------------------

manufacture bulk controlled substances for sale 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, and 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, Virginia 22152; and must be filed no 
later than July 27, 2009.
    This procedure is to be conducted simultaneously with, and 
independent of, the procedures described in 21 CFR

[[Page 30621]]

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-
46), 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 Sec.  1301.34(b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) are 
satisfied.

    Dated: June 22, 2009.
