2010-25539. Manufacturer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

By Notice dated June 17, 2010, and published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2010 (75 FR 36683), Siegfried (USA), 33 Industrial Park Road, Pennsville, New Jersey 08070, made application by letter to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as a bulk manufacturer of Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid (2010), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule I.

The company plans to manufacture the listed controlled substance in bulk for sale to customers.

Three comments were received. Two of the three comments supported the granting of registration as a bulk manufacturer of the basic class of controlled substance listed to this applicant.

The third comment objected to the granting of registration. However, after a thorough review of this matter, DEA has concluded that the issues raised in the comment and objection do not warrant the denial of this application.

DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and determined that the registration of Siegfried (USA) to manufacture the listed basic class of controlled substance is consistent with the public interest at this time. DEA has investigated Siegfried (USA) 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. 823, and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.33, the above named company is granted registration as a bulk manufacturer of the basic class of controlled substance listed.

Dated: October 5, 2010.

Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement Administration.
