The Fishing in the City and Classroom Aquarium Education Programs will continue under uniform protocols developed to ensure that stocking locations are properly screened to protect native, sensitive, and legally protected species. Continuation of Existing Program Alternative The Continuation of Existing Program Alternative (equivalent to the CEQA No Project Alternative) is continuation of SFRA funding for the existing Fish Hatchery and Stocking Program. The hatcheries’ operation and stocking activities undertaken by CDFG over the past 5 years would continue unchanged (some activities may be inconsistent with the court-ordered prohibitions and exceptions), and the SFRA funding process for these activities will continue as it has over the same period. No Action Alternative Under the No Action Alternative, FWS would not approve SFRA grant funds to be used by CDFG to support actions associated with operations of the CDFG Fish Hatchery and Stocking Program. Because of State statutory and public trust requirements related to the hatchery program, CDFG would attempt to continue to implement its State hatchery program, seeking other funding sources to replace the Federal funds.

[FR Doc. 2010–2489 Filed 2–4–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4410–15–P DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Drug Enforcement Administration Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration By Notice dated January 9, 2009, and published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2009, (74 FR 3641), Kenco VPI, Division of Kenco Group, Inc., 350 Corporate Place, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37419, made application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to be registered as an importer of Nabilone (7379), a basic class of controlled substance listed in schedule II. The company plans to import the listed controlled substance for distribution to its customers. One comment was received concerning this application. The comment states that DEA added Schedule II and the drug code for Nabilone (7379) to Kenco VPI’s importer registration without the benefit of the required legal process for modifying the DEA registration. The comment further states that, after Kenco VPI was properly registered as an importer of Nabilone on PO 00000 Frm 00122 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6061 November 1, 2006, there was no further mention of Nabilone in any subsequent notices of Kenco VPI’s applications or approval of its applications published in the Federal Register by DEA until the application published on January 21, 2009. (74 FR 3641) The comment also requested clarification whether Kenco VPI imports Nabilone in finished drug product in dosage form or in bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) form. Finally, the comment inquires if the aggregate national quota for Nabilone established by DEA will be affected by Kenco VPI’s application. DEA’s response to the issues raised in the comment are as follows: DEA has already admitted that Kenco VPI’s importer registration received Schedule II and the drug code for Nabilone without the benefit of the required legal process. On August 1, 2006, a Notice of Application (71 FR 43526) was published for Kenco VPI in the Federal Register. Subsequently, on November 1, 2006, a Notice of Registration (71 FR 64298) was published. These notices addressed DEA’s issuance to Kenco VPI’s importer registration of Schedule II and the drug code for Nabilone without the benefit of the required legal process. As a result of the publication of these notices, Kenco VPI’s importer registration has been legally authorized to import Nabilone, effective: November 1, 2006. DEA rejects the comment’s assertion that, between November 1, 2006 and January 21, 2009, there was no further mention of Nabilone in any subsequent notices of Kenco VPI’s applications or approval of its applications published in the Federal Register by DEA. This assertion is incorrect. Four notices were published between November 1, 2006 and January 21, 2009 as follows: (71 FR 66974, November 17, 2006), (72 FR 8792, February 27, 2007), (73 FR 14840, March 19, 2008), (73 FR 31510, June 2, 2008). Each of these notices mentions Nabilone. With regard to the comment’s request for clarification of whether Kenco VPI imports Nabilone in finished drug product in dosage form or in bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) form, the company imports finished drug products in dosage form only. Kenco VPI does not import Nabilone in bulk active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) form. Since there are no domestic sources of Nabilone in finished drug product form available within the United States and since the product which Kenco VPI imports has been approved for medical use within the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, DEA finds no reason to reject Kenco VPI’s application.
