other activity for this drug code is authorized for this registration.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a), and determined that the 
registration of R & D Systems, Inc., to import the 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, at this time. DEA has investigated 
R & D Systems, 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 Sec.  1301.34, the above named company is 
granted registration as an importer of the basic classes of controlled 
substances listed.
