    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances for 
the manufacture of diagnostic products for distribution to its 
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 Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. to import the basic 
class 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, at this time. DEA 
has investigated Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc. 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 Sec.  958(a), and 
in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above named company is granted 
registration as an importer of the basic class of controlled substances 
listed.

    Dated: October 11, 2006.
