the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and determined that the registration of 
Orasure Technologies, Inc. to manufacture the listed basic classes of 
controlled substances is consistent with the public interest at this 
time. DEA has investigated Orasure Technologies, 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 classes of controlled substances listed.
