erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
42692
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 162 / Monday, August 24, 2009 / Notices
required the United States Attorney
General to establish a national instant
criminal background check system that
any Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL)
may contact, by telephone or by other
electronic means for information to be
supplied immediately, on whether
receipt of a firearm to a prospective
purchaser would violate state or federal
law. Information pertaining to licensees
who may contact the NICS is being
collected to manage and control access
to the NICS and to the NICS E-Check,
to ensure appropriate resources are
available to support the NICS, and also
to ensure the privacy and security of
NICS information.
(4) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond:
It is estimated that 500 Federal
Firearms Licensees (FFLs) enroll with
the NICS per month for a total of 6,000
enrollments per year. The average
response time for reading the directions
for the Federal Bureau of Investigation
National Instant Criminal Background
Check System (NICS) Federal Firearms
Licensee (FFL) Enrollment/NICS
Electronic Check (E-Check) Enrollment
Form is estimated to be two minutes;
time to complete the form is estimated
to be three minutes; and the time it
takes to assemble, mail, or fax the form
to the FBI is estimated to be three
minutes, for a total of eight minutes.
The average hour burden for this
specific form is 6,000 × 8 minutes/60 =
800 hours. The Federal Firearms
Licensee (FFL) Officer/Employee
Acknowledgment of Responsibilities
Under the National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS) Form
takes approximately three minutes to
read the responsibilities and two
minutes to complete the form, for a total
of five minutes. The average hour
burden for this specific form is 6,000 ×
5 minutes/60 = 500 hours.
The accompanying letter mailed with
the packet takes an additional two
minutes to read which would be 6,000
× 2 minutes/60 = 200 hours.
The entire process of reading the
letter and completing both forms would
take 15 minutes per respondent. The
average hour burden for completing
both forms and reading the
accompanying letter would be 6,000 ×
15/60 = 1,500 hours.
(5) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
The entire process of reading the
letter and completing both forms would
take 15 minutes per respondent. The
average hour burden for completing
both forms and reading the

BILLING CODE 4410–02–P
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
Spirit Pharmaceuticals, L.L.C.;
Dismissal of Proceeding
On June 22, 2007, I, the Deputy
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement
Administration, issued an Order to
Suspend Shipment (hereinafter,
Suspension Order) to Spirit
Pharmaceuticals, L.L.C. (Respondent), of
Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania. Suspension
Order at 1. The Order suspended
Respondent’s proposed importation of
2,000 kilograms of ephedrine
hydrochloride from Emmellen Biotech
Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., of Mumbai,
India, on the ground that the product
‘‘may be diverted’’ to the illicit
manufacture of methamphetamine, a
schedule II controlled substance. Id. at
3; see also 21 U.S.C. 971(c).
The Suspension Order alleged that
Respondent had identified AAA
Pharmaceutical, Inc. (AAA), on its
Import Declaration (DEA Form 486) as
the customer for the product. Id. at 2.
The Order also alleged that in a
telephone conversation, a
‘‘representative of AAA stated that the
ephedrine was to be manufactured into
tablets, packaged, and sold to Novelty,
Inc.’’ Id. Finally, the Order alleged that
Novelty, Inc., distributed over-thecounter products containing ephedrine
to entities such as gas stations and
convenience stores, id. at 3, that these
outlets sell ephedrine products ‘‘in
quantities that exceed what would be
necessary to meet legitimate demand,’’
and that the products ‘‘are often sold to
persons for use in the illicit
manufacture of methamphetamine.’’ Id.
at 2.
Neither Respondent nor AAA
requested a hearing on the allegations.1
1 Novelty did, however, request a hearing on the
Suspension Order. On August 17, 2007, I denied
Novelty’s request. See 72 FR 49316 (2007).
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The record was then forwarded to me
for final agency action.
On January 17, 2008, I also issued an
Order to Show Cause and Immediate
Suspension of Registration to Novelty.2
On September 3, 2008, following a
hearing, I ordered the revocation of
Novelty’s registration as a distributor of
list I chemicals and the denial of any
applications it had pending before the
Agency. See Novelty Distributors, Inc.,
73 FR 52689, 52704 (2008).
Shortly thereafter, Novelty filed a
Petition for Review in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit. On June 22, 2009, the Court of
Appeals issued a Per Curiam Order
denying Novelty’s Petition for Review.
See Novelty, Inc., v. DEA, 2009 WL
1930184, *1 (D.C. Cir. June 22, 2009).
Moreover, on July 28, 2009, the Court of
Appeals denied Novelty’s Petitions for
Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc. See
Novelty, Inc., v. DEA, No. 08–1296 (D.C.
Cir. Filed July 28, 2009) (order denying
rehearing and order denying rehearing
en banc).
As noted above, the Suspension Order
was based on Respondent’s intended
distribution of the ephedrine to AAA,
which sought the ephedrine for the
purpose of manufacturing ephedrine
products for Novelty. The Court of
Appeals, however, has now upheld the
Agency’s Final Order revoking Novelty’s
registration. Because Novelty lacks
authority under Federal law to
distribute ephedrine products, I
conclude that this case is now moot. Cf.
Board of License Comm’rs v. Pastore,
469 U.S. 238, 239 (1985) (per curiam).
Accordingly, this proceeding is
dismissed.
It is so ordered.
Dated: August 12, 2009.
Michele M. Leonhart,
Deputy Administrator.
