    Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(i), the Attorney General shall, prior to 
issuing a registration under this Section to a bulk manufacturer of a 
controlled substance in schedule I or II and prior to issuing a 
regulation under 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2) authorizing the importation of 
such a substance, provide manufacturers holding registrations for the 
bulk manufacture of the substance an opportunity for a hearing.
    Therefore, in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34(a), this is notice 
that on April 21, 2009, AllTech Associates Inc., 2051 Waukegan Road, 
Deerfield, Illinois 60015, made application to the Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of the basic 
classes of controlled substances listed in schedules I and II:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Drug                               Schedule
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid (2010)............  I
Heroin (9200)...............................  I
Cocaine (9041)..............................  II
Codeine (9050)..............................  II
Hydrocodone (9193)..........................  II
Meperidine (9230)...........................  II
Methadone (9250)............................  II
Morphine (9300).............................  II
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The company plans to import these controlled substances for the 
manufacture of reference standards.
    Any manufacturer who is presently, or is applying to be, registered 
with DEA to manufacture such basic classes of controlled substances may 
file comments or objections to the issuance of the proposed 
registration and may, at the same time, file a written request for a 
hearing on such application pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43 and in such form 
as prescribed by 21 CFR 1316.47.
    Any such written comments or objections should be addressed, in 
quintuplicate, to Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of Diversion 
Control, Federal Register Representative (ODL), 8701 Morrissette Drive, 
Springfield, VA 22152 and must be filed no later than July 24, 2009.
    This procedure is to be conducted simultaneously with, and 
independent of, the procedures described in 21 CFR 1301.34(b), (c), 
(d), (e), and (f). As noted in a previous notice published in the 
Federal Register on September 23, 1975, (40 FR 43745-46), all 
applicants for registration to import a basic class of any controlled 
substances in Schedule I or II are and will continue to be required to 
demonstrate to the Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion 
Control, Drug Enforcement Administration, that the requirements for 
such registration pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 958(a), 21 U.S.C. 823(a), and 
21 CFR 1301.34(b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) are satisfied.

    Dated: June 15, 2009.

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