Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration
By Notice dated September 22, 2008, and published in the
Federal Register on September 29, 2008, (73 FR 56611), GE
Healthcare, 3350 North Ridge Avenue, Arlington Heights, Illinois
60004-1412, made application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of Cocaine
(9041), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule
II.
The company plans to import small quantities of ioflupane, in
the form of three separate analogues of Cocaine, to validate
production and QC systems; for a reference standard; and for
producing material for future investigational new drug (IND)
submission.
No comments or objections have been received. DEA has
considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a) and
determined that the registration of GE Healthcare 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 GE Healthcare 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: December 22, 2008.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion
Control, Drug Enforcement Administration.
