investigated the company's maintenance of effective 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
