has investigated Chattem Chemicals, Inc. on a regular basis to ensure 
that the company's continued registration is consistent with the public

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, Sec. 1301.34, the above firm is granted registration as an 
importer of the basic classes of controlled substances listed above.
