    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances to 
manufacturer bulk controlled substances and non-controlled substance 
flavor extracts.
    Following the Notice of Application publication on April 6, 2005, 
(70 FR 17472-17473), Penick Corporation, 158 Mount Olivet Avenue, 
Newark, New Jersey 07114, relocated its operations to 33 Industrial 
Park Road, Pennsville, New Jersey 08070 on May 18, 2005. DEA conducted 
a full investigation and inspection of the company's security which was 
found to be in compliance with all required regulations.
    One comment was received; however, the comment was outside of the 
required 60-day comment and objection period.
    DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a) and 
determined that the registration of Penick Corporation to import the 
basic class of 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 Penick Corporation to ensure that the 
company's registration is consistent with the public interest. The 
investigation has 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. 952(a) and 958(a), and in 
accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above named company is granted 
registration as an importer of the basic class of controlled substances 
listed.

    Dated: November 18, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control,
