Guam § 67 - Registration.

§ 67. Registration.

(a) DPHSS shall register an applicant to manufacture or distribute substances included in Schedules I

through V, unless DPHSS determines that the issuance of the registration would be inconsistent with the

public interest. In determining the public interest, DPHSS shall consider the following factors:

(1) maintenance of effective controls against diversion of controlled substances into other than

legitimate medical, scientific research or industrial channels;

(2) compliance with Federal and local law;

(3) promotion of technical advances in the art of manufacturing controlled substances and the

development of new substances;

(4) convictions of the applicant under laws of another country or Federal or state laws relating to

a controlled substance;

(5) past experience of the applicant in the manufacture or distribution of controlled substances,

and the existence in the applicant’s establishment of effective controls against diversion of controlled

substances into other than legitimate medical, scientific, research or industrial channels;

(6) furnishing by the applicant of false or fraudulent material in an application filed under this

Act;

(7) suspension or revocation of the applicant’s Federal registration or the applicant’s registration

in another state to manufacture, distribute or dispense controlled substances as authorized by Federal

law; and

(8) any other factors relevant to and consistent with the public health and safety.

(b) Registration under Subsection (a) entitles a registrant to manufacture or distribute a substance

included in Schedule I or II only if it is specified in the registration.

included in Schedule I may conduct research with the substance in Guam upon furnishing DPHSS evidence

of the Federal registration.
