Noramco Inc. on a regular basis to ensure that the company's continued 
registration is consistent with the public interest. This investigation 
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 Section 1008(a) of the Controlled Substances Import and 
Export Act and in accordance with title 21, Code of Federal

an importer of the basic classes of controlled substances listed.
