ACTION: Notice of registration.

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

SUMMARY: Akorn, Inc. applied to be registered as an importer of a 
certain basic class of controlled substance. The Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) grants Akorn, Inc. registration as an importer of 
this controlled substance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    By notice dated September 1, 2015, and published in the Federal 
Register on September 9, 2015, 80 FR 54327 Akorn, Inc., 1222 W. Grand 
Avenue, Decatur, Illinois 62522 applied to be registered as an importer 
of a certain basic class of controlled substance. 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 Akorn, 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. 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 remifentanil (9739), a basic class of 
controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import remifentanil in dosage form for 
distribution.

    Dated: November 23, 2015.

Deputy Assistant Administrator.
