    The firm plans to manufacture small quantities of a derivative of

manufacture cocaine is consistent with the public interest at this 
time. DEA has investigated Research Biochemicals, Inc. 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 systems, 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 CFR 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
