Importer of Controlled Substances Registration: Johnson Matthey, 
Inc.

ACTION: Notice of registration.

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

SUMMARY: Johnson Matthey, Inc. applied to be registered as an importer 
of certain basic classes of controlled substances. The Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) grants Johnson Matthey, Inc. registration as an 
importer of those controlled substances.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated December 21, 2015, and 
published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2015, 80 FR 81367, 
Johnson Matthey, Inc., Pharmaceutical Materials, 2003 Nolte Drive, West 
Deptford, New Jersey 08066-1742 applied to be registered as an importer 
of certain basic classes of controlled substances. Comments and request 
for hearings on applications to import narcotic raw material are not 
appropriate. 72 FR 3417, (January 25, 2007). Also 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 Johnson Matthey, 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 onMay 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 following basic classes of 
controlled substances:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Controlled substance                       Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coca Leaves (9040).........................  II
Thebaine (9333)............................  II
Opium, raw (9600)..........................  II
Noroxymorphone (9668)......................  II
Poppy Straw Concentrate (9670).............  II
Fentanyl (9801)............................  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import thebaine derivatives and fentanyl as 
reference standards.
    The company plans to import the remaining listed controlled 
substances as raw materials, to be used in the manufacture of bulk 
controlled substances, for distribution to its customers. Placement of 
these drug codes onto the company's registration does not translate 
into automatic approval of subsequent permit applications to import 
controlled substances.
    Approval of permit applications will occur only when the 
registrant's business activity is consistent with what is authorized 
under 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2). Authorization will not extend to the import 
of FDA approved or non-approved finished dosage forms for commercial 
sale.

    Dated: April 11, 2016.

Deputy Assistant Administrator.
