    The firm plans to import the listed controlled substances as raw 
materials for use in the manufacturer of bulk controlled substances for 
distribution to its customers.
    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 Johnson Matthey 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 Johnson Matthey Inc. on a regular basis to ensure that 
the company's continued 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 section 1008(a) of the 
Controlled Substances Import and Export Act and in accordance with 
Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, section 1301.34, the above firm 
is granted registration as an importer of the basic classes of 
controlled substances listed.
