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

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. 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 following basic classes of 
controlled substances:
