    A registered manufacturer filed a comment requesting that Penick's 
application for registration be denied for considerations of the public 
interest. The commenter also questioned whether Penick has the 
manufacturing and processing capabilities to manufacture the listed 
controlled substances. DEA has conducted inspection of Penick and 
determined that Penick has complied with the factors in Title 21, 
United States Code, Section 823(a). Penick's current application was 
filed to renew a manufacturer registration which the firm has 
maintained for several years and under which the firm manufactured 
controlled substances in the past in conformance with the Controlled 
Substances Act and its implementing regulations. Therefore, pursuant to 
section 303 of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act 
of 1970 and Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1301.54(e), 
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 classes of controlled 
substances listed above is granted.

    Dated: February 26, 1996.
Gene R. Haislip,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administration.
