92880-2882 applied to be registered as an importer of certain basic 
classes of controlled substances. No comments or objections were 
submitted for this notice.
    The DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and 
958(a) and determined that the registration of Actavis Pharma, Inc. to 
import the basic classes of controlled substances is consistent with 
the public interest and with United States obligations under 
international treaties, conventions, or protocols in effect on May 1, 
1971. The DEA investigated the company's maintenance of effective 
controls against diversion by inspecting and testing the company's 
physical security systems, verifying the company's compliance with 
state and local laws, and reviewing 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 classes of controlled 
substances:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Controlled substance                       Schedule

Amphetamine (1100).........................  II
Methylphenidate (1724).....................  II
Oxycodone (9143)...........................  II
Hydromorphone (9150).......................  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances for 
analytical testing and clinical trials.
    The import of the above listed basic classes of controlled 
substances will be granted only for analytical testing and clinical 
trials. This authorization does not extend to the import of a finished 
FDA approved or non-approved dosage form for commercial distribution in 
the United States.

    Dated: April 14, 2015.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator.
