    By Notice dated November 1, 2012, and published in the Federal

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substance to

conventions, or protocols in effect on May 1, 1971. DEA has 
investigated Fisher Clinical Services, Inc., to ensure that the 
company's registration is consistent with the public interest. The 
investigation has included inspection and testing of the company's 
physical security systems, 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. 952(a) and 958(a), and in 
accordance with 21 CFR 1301.34, the above named company is granted 
registration as an importer of the basic class of controlled substance
