    By Notice dated March 27, 2002, and published in the Federal

    The firm plans to manufacture a Schedule II cocaine derivative as a 
final intermediate for the production of dopascan injection.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered

determined that the registration of Guilford Pharmaceuticals to 
manufacture the listed controlled substance is consistent with the 
public interest at this time. DEA has investigated the firm 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 21 U.S.C. 823 and 28 CFR 
0.100 and 0.104, the Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of 
Diversion Control, hereby orders that the application submitted by the 
above firm for registration as a bulk manufacturer of the basic class 
of controlled substance listed above is granted.
