determined that the registration of Penick Corporation to import the 
basic classes of controlled substances is consistent with the public

treaties, conventions, or protocols in effect on May 1, 1971, at this 
time. DEA has investigated Penick Corporation to ensure that the

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 classes of controlled substances listed.
