    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 Lipomed, Inc. to import the listed 
controlled substances 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

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. 1311.42, the above firm is granted registration as an
