Notice of Termination of Uinkaret
Mountains Landscape Restoration
Project Environmental Impact
Statement, Arizona
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the proposed Uinkaret Mountains
Landscape Restoration Project is no
longer required and the process is
hereby terminated. Pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ)
regulations, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) on October 21,
2014, published a notice of intent (NOI)
to prepare an EIS. The EIS would have
analyzed proposed vegetation
treatments in the Uinkaret Mountains
Landscape Restoration Project area.
DATES: Termination of the EIS process
for the Uinkaret Mountains Landscape
Restoration Project is effective
immediately.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Richard Spotts, Planning and
Environmental Coordinator, (435) 688–
3207; rspotts@blm.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
BLM’s Arizona Strip District Office has
determined it is appropriate to
terminate the Uinkaret Mountains
Landscape Restoration Project EIS and
prepare an Environmental Assessment
(EA) instead. The NOI to prepare an EIS
was published in the Federal Register
on October 21, 2014 (79 FR 62954) and
announced the scoping period for the
proposed project. The initial project
proposal listed a variety of potential
vegetative treatments, including
manual, mechanical, chemical, wildfire
management for resource benefit,
prescribed fire, and seeding for the
overall project area of approximately
128,535 acres, located on lands
managed by the Arizona Strip Field

Office and Grand Canyon Parashant
National Monument, within the Arizona
Strip District.
Preliminary issues from internal and
external public scoping include but are
not limited to: Excessive fuel loading
leading to increased wildfire risk;
impacts from past management
activities such as grazing and fire
suppression; pinyon and juniper
encroachment into sagebrush and
ponderosa communities; soil erosion;
and the need to treat decadent
sagebrush stands.
After careful consideration of
preliminary issues, public scoping
comments, and field-verification of
existing resource conditions, BLM
modified the proposed action to specific
vegetation treatment units within the
overall project area, of which 18,675
acres is proposed to receive manual,
mechanical, seeding, erosion control,
and chemical treatments and 38,713
acres are proposed to receive fire
treatments. The proposed action and
one other action alternative, which
would implement only the fire
treatments, were developed. Design
features, applicable to all action
alternatives, were also modified to
include special resource protections to
mitigate the environmental impacts,
such as avoiding all known cultural
resources following intensive surveys,
treating areas when soils are not
saturated to minimize soil compaction,
ensuring mechanical treatment
equipment is cleaned prior to use to
minimize the spread of noxious weeds,
avoiding old growth ponderosa stands,
and designing treatments in irregular
shapes to reduce visual contrast.
The BLM evaluated the modified the
proposed action, no action, and an
alternative action, against the CEQ
significance criteria (40 CFR 1508.27)
and determined that the anticipated
effects from the treatment methods are
consistent with the preparation of an EA
rather than an EIS.
Thus, the BLM hereby terminates
preparation of an EIS for the proposed
Uinkaret Mountains Landscape
Restoration Project. National
Environmental Policy Act public
involvement procedures will be adhered
to in the development on the Uinkaret
Mountains Landscape Restoration
Project EA.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
Alaaeldin A. Babiker, M.D.; Decision
and Order
On January 21, 2015, the Deputy
Assistant Administrator, Office of
Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement
Administration, issued an Order to
Show Cause to Alaaeldin A. Babiker,
M.D. (hereinafter, Registrant), of Yuma,
Arizona. The Show Cause Order
proposed the revocation of Registrant’s
DEA Certificate of Registration
BB7566461, pursuant to which he is
authorized to dispense controlled
substances in schedules II through V as
a practitioner, as well as the denial of
any applications, on two grounds. GX 1,
at 1.
First, the Show Cause Order alleged
that on October 4, 2014, the Arizona
Medical Board issued Registrant an
‘‘Order for Decree of Censure, Probation,
and Practice Restriction and Consent to
the Same’’ which ‘‘restricted [him] from
prescribing any controlled substances.’’
Id. The Show Cause Order thus alleged
that because Registrant does not have
authority to dispense controlled
substances in Arizona, the State in
which he is registered with DEA, his
registration is subject to revocation. Id.
(citing 21 U.S.C. 802(21), 823(f),
824(a)(3)).
Second, based on various findings of
fact and legal conclusions contained in
the Board’s Order, the Show Cause
Order alleged that Registrant had
committed acts which render his
registration ‘‘inconsistent with the
public interest’’ in that he ‘‘did not
comply with applicable state law related
to controlled substances.’’ Id. at 2 (citing
21 U.S.C. 823(f)(4)). More specifically,
the Show Cause Order alleged that: (1)
‘‘[F]rom 2008 through 2012, [Registrant]
issued controlled substance
prescriptions to [his] wife’’; and that (2)
on December 8, 2012, he was
‘‘diagnosed with opioid dependence,
Xanax abuse and Adderall abuse.’’ Id.
Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 32–1401(27)(h) & (g)).
The Show Cause Order then made
multiple allegations regarding
Registrant’s prescribing of narcotics to
patient B.S. These included that: (1)
During the period he prescribed
oxycodone to B.S., he ‘‘added morphine
to the patient’s medications’’ and also
increased B.S.’s oxycodone
prescriptions without explaining why
he did so in B.S.’s chart; (2) he ‘‘did not
treat [B.S.’s] chronic pain with
additional evaluations or other
therapeutic interventions’’; and (3) that
he ‘‘deviated from the standard of care

Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

by failing to address’’ lab results which
suggested that B.S. was using marijuana
as well as by failing to adequately
document B.S.’s marijuana usage. Id.
(citing Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 32–1401(27)(e)
& (q)).
Finally, the Show Cause Order
notified Registrant of his right to request
a hearing on the allegations or to submit
a written statement of position while
waiving his right to a hearing, the
procedure for electing either option, and
the consequence of failing to elect either
option. GX 1, at 2–3 (citing 21 CFR
1301.43; id. § 1301.46).
On January 29, 2015, a Special Agent
went to an address in Yuma, Arizona
which was identified as Registrant’s
address by a lawyer who had
represented him before the Arizona
Medical Board. According to the Special
Agent, he arrived at the residence at
4:30 p.m. at which time he
‘‘encountered no persons at the
residence’’ and there were ‘‘[n]o
vehicles or indications of any persons at
the residence during the time’’ he was
present. GX 7, at 1. The Special Agent
reported that he left a copy of the Show
Cause Order ‘‘in the door jamb of the
front door in plain sight.’’ Id. However,
at this juncture, the Government
undertook no other steps to effect
service.
Several months later, the Government
submitted a Request for Final Agency
Action contending that 30 days had
passed since Registrant was served with
the Show Cause Order and that neither
he, nor anyone representing him, had
requested a hearing or sent any
correspondence to DEA. Request for
Final Agency Action, at 7–8. On review
by my Office, service was deemed to be
inadequate and the Government was
directed to re-serve Registrant with the
Show Cause Order.
On October 2, 2015, a Diversion
Investigator mailed the Show Cause
Order to Registrant at his residence
address (as identified by his lawyer) by
first class mail. GX 9, at 2
(Supplemental Declaration of DI).
Thereafter, ‘‘[o]n or about January 20,
2016,’’ the DI mailed the Show Cause
Order to Registrant by Certified Mail,
Return Receipt Requested addressed to
him at the same address as well as at
two other reported addresses. Id.
However, each of these mailings was
returned unclaimed. Id. Subsequently,
on April 6, 2016, the DI re-mailed the
Show Cause Order to Registrant by
regular First Class Mail to each of the
three addresses. Id. According to the
affidavit of a Legal Assistant with the
Office of Chief Counsel, as of July 13,
2016, the Office of Administrative Law
Judges had not received either a hearing
