    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances to

    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered

Sec.  952(a) and determined that the registration of Penick Corporation 
to import the basic classes 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 Title 21, U.S.C. 952(a) and 958(a), and 
in accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Sec.  
1301.34, the above named company is granted registration as an importer 
of the basic classes of controlled substances listed.
