[Docket No. DEA-392]


Importer of Controlled Substances Registration: Akorn, Inc.

ACTION: Notice of registration.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Akorn, Inc., applied to be registered as an importer of a 
certain basic class of controlled substance. The DEA grants Akorn, 
Inc., registration as an importer of this controlled substance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By notice dated May 28, 2014, and published 
in the Federal Register on June 4, 2014, 79 FR 32317, Akorn, Inc., 1222 
W. Grand Avenue, Decatur, Illinois 62522, applied to be registered as 
an importer of a certain basic class of controlled substance. No 
comments or objections were reviewed for this notice.
    The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has considered the 
factors in 21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and 958(a) and determined that the 
registration of Akorn, Inc., 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. The DEA investigated the company's maintenance 
of effective controls against diversion by inspecting and testing the 
company's physical security systems, verifying the company's compliance 
with state and local laws, and reviewing 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 Remifentanil (9739), a basic class of 
controlled substance listed in schedule II.
    The company plans to import Remifentanil in bulk for use in dosage 
form manufacturing.

    Dated: August 27, 2014.

Deputy Assistant Administrator.
