    By Notice dated February 5, 1999, and published in the Federal 
Register on February 26, 1999, (64 FR 9541), Lonza Riverside, 900 River 
Road, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428, made application by renewal to 
the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as an 
importer of phenylacetone (8501), a basic class of controlled substance 
listed in Schedule II.
    The firm is importing the phenylacetone to manufacture 
dextroamphetamine sulfate.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in Title 21, United States Code, Section 823(a) and 
determined that the registration of Lonza Riverside to import 
phenylacetone 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 
Lonza Riverside on a regular basis to ensure that the company's 
continued registration is consistent with the public interest. These 
investigations have included inspection and testing of the company's 
physical security systems, audits of the company's records, 
verification of the company's compliance with state and local laws, and 
a review of the company's background and history. Therefore, pursuant 
to Section 1008(a) of the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act 
and in accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 
1301.34, the above firm is granted registration as an importer of the 
basic class of controlled substance listed above.

    Dated: June 15, 1999.
