DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Drug Enforcement Administration


Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Application; 
Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc.

    Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(i), the Attorney General shall, prior to 
issuing a registration under this Section to a bulk manufacturer of a 
controlled substance in schedule I or II, and prior to issuing a 
regulation under 21 U.S.C. 952(a) authorizing the importation of such a 
substance, provide manufacturers holding registrations for the bulk 
manufacture of the substance an opportunity for a hearing.
    Therefore, in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34(a), this is notice 
that on January 5, 2012, Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc., 10381 Decatur 
Road, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19114, made application to the Drug 
Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of 
Noroxymorphone (9668), a basic class of controlled substance listed in 
schedule II.
    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance in 
finished dosage form for clinical trials.
    The import of the above listed basic class of controlled substance 
would be granted only for analytical testing and clinical trials. This 
authorization does not extend to the import of a finished FDA approved 
or non-approved dosage form for commercial distribution in the United 
States.
    Any bulk manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, 
registered with DEA to manufacture such basic class of controlled 
substance may file comments or objections to the issuance of the 
proposed registration and may, at the same time, file a written request 
for a hearing on such application pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43, and in 
such form as prescribed by 21 CFR 1316.47.
    Any such written comments or objections should be addressed, in 
quintuplicate, to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of 
Diversion Control, Federal Register Representative (ODL), 8701 
Morrissette Drive, Springfield, Virginia 22152; and must be filed no 
later than May 29, 2012.
    This procedure is to be conducted simultaneously with, and 
independent of, the procedures described in 21 CFR 1301.34(b), (c), 
(d), (e), and (f). As noted in a previous notice published in the 
Federal Register on September 23, 1975, 40 FR 43745-46, all applicants 
for registration to import a basic class of any controlled substance in 
schedules I or II are, and will continue to be, required to demonstrate 
to the Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, 
Drug Enforcement Administration, that the requirements for such 
registration pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(a); 21 U.S.C. 823(a); and 21 CFR 
1301.34(b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) are satisfied.

     Dated: April 17, 2012.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
