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 Section 1008(a) of the 
Controlled Substances Import and Export Act and in accordance with 
Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1301.34, the above firm 
is granted registration as an importer of the basic classes of
