    The firm plans to repackage and offer as pure standards controlled 
substances in small milligram quantities for drug testing and analysis.
    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 Sigma Chemical Company is 
consistent with the public interest and with United States obligations 
under international treaties, conventions, or protocols in effect on 
May 1, 1971, at this time. DEA has investigated Sigma Chemical Company 
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 view 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, Sec. 1311.42, the above firm is 
granted registration as an importer of the basic
