    The firm plans to bulk manufacture methamphetamine to produce

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, 
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. 823 and 28 CFR Sec. 0.100 and 0.104, the Deputy Assistant 
Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, hereby orders that the 
application submitted by the above firm for registration as a bulk
