Download as PDF 7576 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 27 / Monday, February 10, 2014 / Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act provides that the exemption is available only to security-based swaps that are entered into between eligible contract participants, as that term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act as in effect prior to the Title VII effective date, and other than with respect to persons determined by the CFTC to be eligible contract participants pursuant to Section 1a(12)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Based on our existing information about the security-based swaps market, including our existing information about participants in the security-based swaps market, we believe that the interim final rules apply to few, if any, small entities.69 For this reason, the extension of the expiration dates in the interim final rules should not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

ACTION: Final order. AGENCY: The Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is issuing this final order to temporarily schedule four synthetic cannabinoids into schedule I pursuant to the temporary scheduling provisions of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The substances are: Quinolin-8-yl 1pentyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (PB-22; QUPIC); quinolin-8-yl 1-(5fluoropentyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (5-fluoro-PB-22; 5F-PB-22); N-(1-amino3-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-1-(4fluorobenzyl)-1H-indazole-3carboxamide (AB-FUBINACA); and N(1-amino-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)1-pentyl-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide (ADB-PINACA). This action is based on a finding by the Deputy Administrator that the placement of these synthetic cannabinoids and their optical, positional, and geometric isomers, salts and salts of isomers into schedule I of the CSA is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety. As a result of this order, the regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions applicable to schedule I controlled substances will be imposed on persons who handle (manufacture, distribute, import, export, SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\10FER1.SGM 10FER1

Regulatory Procedures

Justification for Final Rule

    We follow the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking 
procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553

[[Page 7577]]

when developing our regulations.\1\ The APA provides exceptions to its 
prior notice and public comment procedures when an agency finds good 
cause for dispensing with such procedures on the basis that they are 
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. In the 
case of this final rule, we have determined that good cause exists for 
dispensing with the notice and public comment procedures because such 
procedures are unnecessary.\2\

Executive Order 12866

    We consulted with the Office of Management and Budget and 
determined that this final rule does not meet the criteria for a 
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, as 
supplemented by Executive Order 13563.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    We certify that this final rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it 
only affects individuals. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis 
is not required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not create any new or affect any existing 
collections and, therefore, does not require Office of Management and 
Budget approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
