registration of ISP Freetown Fine Chemicals, Inc. to manufacture the 
listed controlled substances is consistent with the public interest at 
this time. DEA has investigated ISP Freetown Chemicals, Inc. to ensure 
that the company's registration is consistent with the public interest.
    This investigation 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
