The company plans to import the listed controlled substances for the manufacture of controlled substances in bulk for distribution to its customers.

One comment was received; however, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958 (i) and 21 CFR 1301.34 (a), the commenter which is not a registered bulk manufacturer of the above listed controlled substances, has no legal standing to object or to request a hearing on this application.

DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a) and determined that the registration of Mallinckrodt 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 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 classes of controlled substances listed.
