    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 Drug                               Schedule

    Marihuana (7360)..............................................         I

        The firm wishes to maintain its capability to import small 
    quantities of the listed controlled substances in the event they are 
    needed by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and other clients.
        Any manufacturer holding, or applying for, registration as a bulk 
    manufacturer of these basic classes of controlled substances may file 
    written comments on or objections to the application described above 
    and may, at the same time, file a written request for a hearing on such 
    application in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.54 in such form as 
    prescribed by 21 CFR 1316.47.
        Any such comments, objections, or requests for a hearing may be
