time. DEA has investigated Mallinckrodt Chemical 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 Section 1008(a) of the Controlled Substances 
Import and Export Act and in accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal 
Regulations, Section 1301.34, the above firm is granted registration as 
an importer of the basic classes of controlled substances listed above.
