    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances for 
distribution for analytical testing purposes. No other activities for 
these drug codes are authorized for this registration.
    Approval of permit applications will occur only when the 
registrant's business activity is consistent with what is authorized 
under 21 U.S.C. 952(a)(2). Authorization will not extend to the import 
of Food and Drug Administration-approved or non-approved finished
