    The company plans to import reference standards for sale to 
researchers and analytical labs.
    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 United States Pharmacopeial Convention 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.
    DEA has investigated United States Pharmacopeial Convention 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 classes of controlled 
substances listed.

     Dated: September 20, 2012.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
