customers.
    By correspondence dated March 5, 2008, Noramco has withdrawn their 
request for Opium, raw (9600) and Poppy Straw (9650).
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and determined that the registration of 
Noramco Inc. to manufacture the listed basic classes of controlled 
substances is consistent with the public interest at this time. DEA has 
investigated Noramco 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.
