Manufacturer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated March 10, 2008, and published in the Federal 
Register on March 19, 2008 (73 FR 14841), Chemica, Inc., 316 West 130th 
Street, Los Angeles, California 90061, made application by letter to 
the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as a bulk 
manufacturer of methamphetamine (1105), a basic class of controlled 
substance listed in schedule II.
    The above-listed controlled substance is an intermediate in the 
manufacture of Benzphetamine, a schedule III non-narcotic controlled 
substance. The methamphetamine will not be sold as a commercial product 
in the domestic market.
    A comment and objection was received. However, after a thorough 
review of this matter, DEA has concluded that 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 Chemica, Inc. to manufacture the listed basic 
class of controlled substance is consistent with the public interest at 
this time. DEA has investigated Chemica, 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. 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.
Joseph T. Rannazzisi,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
