    The firm plans to import small reference standard quantities of 
finished commercial product from its sister company in Switzerland for 
sale to its customers for drug testing and pharmaceutical research and 
development.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors of Title 21, United States Code, Section 823(a) and 
determined that the registration of Lipomed, 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 
Lipomed, 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 
1311.42, the above firm is granted registration as an importer of the 
basic classes of controlled substances listed above.

    Dated: August 17, 1999.
John H. King,
Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug 
Enforcement Administrator.
