DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration
By Notice dated February 20, 2008, and published in the
Federal Register on February 29, 2008 (73 FR 11148), Meridian
Medical Technologies, 2555 Hermelin Drive, St. Louis, Missouri
63144, made application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of Morphine
(9300), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule
II.
The company plans to import products for research
experimentation or clinical use and analytical testing.
One objection was received; however, it has subsequently been
withdrawn.
DEA has considered the factors in 21
U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a)
and determined that the registration of Meridian Medical
Technologies 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 Meridian Medical Technologies 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: February 9, 2009.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion
Control, Drug Enforcement Administration.
