Drug Enforcement Administration


Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration; United 
States Pharmacopeial Convention

    By Notice dated March 12, 2013, and published in the Federal 
Register on March 20, 2013, 78 FR 17230, United States Pharmacopeial 
Convention, 12601 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, Maryland 20852, made 
application to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be 
registered as an importer of the following basic classes of controlled 
substances:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Drug                               Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norlevorphanol (9634)......................  I
Levomethorphan (9210)......................  II
Difenoxin (9168)...........................  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances in 
bulk powder form from foreign sources for the manufacture of analytical 
reference standards for sale to their customers.
    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: May 22, 2013.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
