Massachusetts 01810, made application by renewal to the Drug

the basic class of Cocaine (9041), a Schedule II controlled substance.
    The firm plans to manufacture small quantities of a cocaine 
derivative for distribution for research purposes.
    No comments or objections have been received. DEA has considered 
the factors in Title 21, United States Code, Section 823(a) and

listed controlled substances is consistent with the public interest at 
this time. DEA has investigated Organix, Inc. to ensure that the 
company's registration is consistent with the public interest. This 
investigation has 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 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
