    The firm plans to import these controlled substances for the 
manufacture of reference standards.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in Title 21, United States Code, Section 823(a) and 
determined that the registration of Applied Science Labs, Inc. to 
import the listed 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 Applied Science Labs, Inc. on a 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 controlled substances listed above.

    Dated: October 19, 1998.
