    By Notice dated December 22, 1999, and published in the Federal 
Register on February 2, 2000 (65 FR 22), ISP Freetown Fine Chemicals, 
Inc., 238 South Main Street, Freetown, Massachusetts 02702, made 
application by letter to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to 
be registered as a bulk manufacturer of 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine 
(7396), a basic class of controlled substance listed in Schedule I.
    The firm plans to manufacture bulk 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine for 
conversion into a non-controlled substance.
    DEA has considered the factors in title 21, United States Code, 
section 823(a) and determined that the registration of ISP Freetown 
Fine Chemicals Inc. to manufacture 2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine is 
consistent with the public interest at this time. DEA has investigated 
the ISP Freetown Fine Chemicals Inc. 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 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 manufacturer of the basic class of controlled 
substance listed above is granted.

    Dated: August 1, 2000.
