B.
Lower Cut-off Levels:
There were no additional confirmed positive tests due to the lower cut-off level for marijuana.
C.
Blind Performance Testing:
During the first quarter of 2002, there were 308 genuine specimens and 35 blind performance test specimens submitted to the primary testing laboratory, which constitutes a blind performance test rate of 11.36%. In the second quarter of 2002, there were 347 genuine specimens and 40 blind performance test specimens submitted to the primary testing laboratory, which constitutes a blind performance test rate of 11.53 %.
