controls against diversion by inspecting and testing the company's 
physical security systems, verifying the company's compliance with 
state and local laws, and reviewing 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 following basic classes of

    The company plans to import the listed controlled substances in

Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) form. The company distributes the 
manufactured APIs in bulk to its customers.
