    By Notice dated October 1, 1998, and published in the Federal

Custom Pharmaceuticals Department, 2003 Nolte Drive, West Deptford, New 
Jersey 08066, made application by letter to the Drug Enforcement 
Administration (DEA) to be registered as a bulk manufacturer of 
methamphetamine (1105), a basic class of controlled substance listed in 
Schedule II.
    The firm plans to manufacture the methamphetamine in bulk for 
distribution to finished dosage manufacturers.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in Title 21, United States Code, Section 823(a) and 
determined that the registration of Johnson Matthey, Inc. to 
manufacture methamphetamine is consistent with the public interest at 
this time. DEA has investigated the firm on a regular basis to ensure 
that the company's continued registration is consistent with the public 
interest. These investigations have included inspection and testing of 
the company's physical security system, audits of the company's 
records, verification of the company's compliance with state and local 
laws, and a review of the company's background and history. Therefore, 
pursuant to 21 U.S.C. Sec. 823 and 28 C.F.R. Secs. 0.100 and 0.104, the 
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, hereby 
orders that the application submitted by the above firm for

substance listed above is granted.

    Dated: January 27, 1999.
