    The company plans to manufacture the listed controlled substances

substance is consistent with the public interest at this time. DEA has 
investigated Johnson Matthey Inc 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. 823, and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.33, the 
above named company is granted registration as a bulk manufacturer of 
the basic class of controlled substance listed.
