    The firm plans to bulk manufacture for product development.
    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 National Center for Development of 
Natural Products to manufacture the listed controlled substances is 
consistent with the public interest at this time. This determination 
was based on, among other things, DEA's on-site investigation of the 
National Center for Development for Natural Products. The investigation 
included inspection and testing of the applicant's qualifications and 
experience, verification of the applicant's compliance with state and 
local laws, and a review of the firm's background and history. DEA has 
further determined that the registration will be consistent with United 
States obligations under international treaties. 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
