the Commercial Trollers Salmon Stamp;
stocking of steelhead from the Mad
River Hatchery into the Mad River
Basin; CDFG’s Aquarium in the
Classroom program; stocking actions to
support scientific research; and stocking
done under an existing private stocking
permit or to be completed under a new
permit with terms similar to one that
was issued in the last 4 years. 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.

In a complaint that was filed

injunctive relief and penalties against

Materials, Inc. (collectively ‘‘Lafarge

srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 24 / Friday, February 5, 2010 / Notices
for alleged environmental violations of
the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (‘‘PSD’’) provisions of the
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7470–7492; the
nonattainment New Source Review
(‘‘nonattainment NSR’’) provisions of the
Act, 42 U.S.C. 7501–7515; and the
federally-approved and enforceable state
implementation plans, which
incorporate and/or implement the above
listed federal PSD and/or nonattainment
NSR requirements. The Complaint also
alleges violations of Title V of the Act,
42 U.S.C. §§ 7661–7661f, and Title V’s
implementing Federal and State
regulations. These violations are alleged
to have occurred at one or more of each
of the Lafarge Companies’ Portland
cement plants located in Alpena,
Michigan; Ravena, New York; Tulsa,
Oklahoma; Fredonia, Kansas; Sugar
Creek, Missouri; Buffalo, Iowa;
Paulding, Ohio; Gand Chain, Illinois;

Under the proposed settlement, the
Lafarge Companies will be required to

technologies to reduce emissions of
nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide at
designated cement kilns and to meet
emission limits which are either set
forth in the Consent Decree or will be
set later by following procedures
specified in the Decree. In addition, the
Lafarge Companies must pay a total civil
penalty of $5,075,000. Two-thirds of
this penalty ($3,383,000) will be paid to

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. The
