Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated October 9, 2008, and published in the Federal
Register on October 17, 2008 (73 FR 61908), Noramco Inc., 500 Swedes
Landing Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19801-4417, made application by
renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered
as an importer of Opium, Raw (9600) and Concentrate of Poppy Straw
(9670), basic classes of controlled substances listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances to
manufacture other controlled substances.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered
the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and Sec.  952(a) and determined that
the registration of Noramco, Inc., to import the basic class of
controlled substance is consistent with the public interest, and with
United States obligations under international treaties, conventions, or
protocols in effect on May 1, 1971, at this time. DEA has investigated
Noramco, Inc., to ensure that the company's registration is consistent
with the public interest. The investigation has included inspection and
testing of the company's physical security systems, verification of the
company's compliance with state and local laws, and a review of the
company's background and history. Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
952(a) and 958(a), and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above
named company is granted registration as an importer of the basic class
of controlled substance listed.

    Dated: January 9, 2009.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug
Enforcement Administration.
