    The firm plans to manufacture finished product for distribution to

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. Sec. 823 and 28 C.F.R. Secs. 0.100 and 0.104, the 
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, hereby
