Summary of Comments and Objections

Mallinckrodt’s Comments

Mallinckrodt, a manufacturer of bulk

cocaine, intends to show that

registration of Roxane as an importer of

cocaine would be contrary to 21 U.S.C.

§ 952(a) because there is no emergency

in which domestic supplies of cocaine

are inadequate and because competition

among domestic manufacturers of

cocaine either is adequate or could be

rendered adequate by registration of

additional domestic manufacturers.

Mallinckrodt argues that supply and

competition are adequate. In support of

its argument that supply is adequate,

Mallinckrodt asserts that it is able to

supply the entire licit United States

cocaine market and that the quality,

reliability, and quantity of foreign

sources of raw materials varies

considerably. In support of its argument

that competition is sufficient,

Mallinckrodt asserts that the domestic

market for cocaine is very small and is

flat or declining, and that even if

competition were inadequate, it could

be rendered adequate by the registration

of additional domestic manufacturers.

Mallinckrodt also argues that because it

could meet the market needs for

cocaine, allowing the importation of

cocaine would needlessly increase the

risk of diversion, foster international

commerce in cocaine, and result in an

increased demand on DEA’s regulatory

resources.

Stepan’s Comments

Stepan, an importer of coca leaf and

manufacturer of cocaine, states that it is

concerned that the importation of

finished cocaine raises a question

whether adequate controls will exist to

prevent its diversion. Stepan further

asserts that importation would raise

issues of quality and sponsorship that

do not exist in the current arrangement,

whereby Stepan manufacturers cocaine

in accordance with long-standing,

approved, and controlled processes.

Finally, Stepan asserts that there is no

shortage of domestic manufacturing

capability or facilities.
