Registration of Manufacturers and Importers of Controlled Substances

Resumo

This final is issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration to eliminate the requirement of an administrative hearing on objections, raised by third-party manufacturers, to the registration of certain bulk manufacturers of controlled substances. This action amends the current regulation and removes the third-party manufacturer hearing provision when requested by another applicant or registrant. Other applicants and registrants may still submit written comments and objections for consideration by DEA and may participate in hearings on bulk manufacturer applications requested by the applicant. This final rule amends the regulation concerning withdrawal of applications to be consistent with this action.
