Importer of Controlled Substances; Notice of Registration

    By Notice dated March 7, 2002, and published in the Federal 
Register on March 18, 2002, (67 FR 12050), Roxane Laboratories, Inc., 
1809 Wilson Road, P.O. Box 16532, Columbus, Ohio 43216-6532, made 
application by renewal to the Drug Enforcement Administration to be 
registered as an importer of cocaine (9041), a basic class of 
controlled substance listed in Schedule II.
    The firm plans to import cocaine to manufacture topical solutions 
for distribution to customers.
    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 Roxane Laboratories, Inc. to import 
cocaine 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 Roxane 
Laboratories, 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 class of controlled substance listed above.

    Dated: June 28, 2002.
