regular basis to ensure that the company's continued registration is 
consistent with the public interest. These investigations have included 
inspection and testing of the company's physical security systems, 
audits of the company's records, 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 28 CFR 
0.100 and 0.104, the Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of 
Diversion Control, hereby orders that the application submitted by the 
above firm for registration as a bulk manufacturer of the basic class
