Austin Pharma LLC., to manufacture the listed basic classes of 
controlled substances is consistent with the public interest at this 
time. DEA has investigated Austin Pharma LLC., 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 Sec.  1301.33, the above named company is granted registration 
as a bulk manufacturer of the basic classes of controlled substances 
listed.
