controlled substances is consistent with the public interest at this 
time. DEA has investigated Mallinckrodt, 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, 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 
classes of the controlled substances listed above is granted.
