Johnson Matthey, Inc	84 FR 5477	February 21, 2019.
Stepan Company	84 FR 5499	February 21, 2019.
Research Triangle Institute	84 FR 5501	February 21, 2019.

The DEA has considered the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and determined that the registration of the registrants to manufacture the applicable 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 each company's maintenance of effective controls against diversion by inspecting and testing each company's physical security systems, verifying each company's compliance with state and local laws, and reviewing each company's background and history.

Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 823(a), and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.33, the DEA has granted a registration as a bulk manufacturer to the above listed companies.

Dated: April 27, 2019.
