    The DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823, 952(a) and

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. The DEA 
investigated the company's maintenance of effective controls against 
diversion by inspecting and testing the company's physical security 
systems, verifying the company's compliance with state and local laws, 
and reviewing 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:
