16670
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 60 / Wednesday, March 31, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
noteworthy that, in subsection 811(h),
Congress authorized the issuance of
temporary scheduling actions by order
rather than by rule. In the alternative,
even if this action were subject to 5
U.S.C. 553, the Acting Administrator
finds that there is good cause to forgo
the notice and comment and the
delayed effective date requirements of
such section, as any further delays in
the process for extending the temporary
scheduling order would be
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest in view of the manifest urgency
to avoid an imminent hazard to the
public safety that these substances
would present if scheduling expired, for
the reasons expressed in the temporary
scheduling order (84 FR 15505, April
16, 2019). Further, DEA believes that
this order extending the temporary
scheduling action is not a ‘‘rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 601(2), and,
accordingly, is not subject to the
requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. The requirements for the
preparation of an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis in 5 U.S.C. 603(a) are
not applicable where, as here, DEA is
not required by 5 U.S.C. 553 or any
other law to publish a general notice of
proposed rulemaking.
Additionally, this action is not a
significant regulatory action as defined
by Executive Order (E.O.) 12866
(Regulatory Planning and Review)
section 3(f), and the principles
reaffirmed in E.O. 13563 (Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review),
and, accordingly, this action has not
been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget.
This action will not have substantial
direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with E.O. 13132
(Federalism), it is determined that this
action does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
As noted above, this action is an
order, not a rule. Accordingly, the
Congressional Review Act (CRA) is
inapplicable, as it applies only to rules.
5 U.S.C. 801, 804(3). It is in the public
interest to maintain the temporary
placement of 5F–EDMB–PINACA, 5F–
MDMB–PICA, FUB–AKB48, 5F–
CUMYL–PINACA and FUB–144 in
schedule I because they pose a public
health risk, for the reasons expressed in
the temporary scheduling order (84 FR
15505, April 16, 2019). The temporary
scheduling action was taken pursuant to
21 U.S.C. 811(h), which is specifically
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:38 Mar 30, 2021
Jkt 253001
designed to enable DEA to act in an
expeditious manner to avoid an
imminent hazard to the public safety.
Under subsection 811(h), temporary
scheduling orders are not subject to
notice and comment rulemaking
procedures. DEA understands that the
CSA frames temporary scheduling
actions as orders rather than rules to
ensure that the process moves swiftly,
and this extension of the temporary
scheduling order continues to serve that
purpose. For the same reasons that
underlie subsection 811(h), that is, the
need to place these substances in
schedule I because they pose an
imminent hazard to public safety, it
would be contrary to the public interest
to delay implementation of this
extension of the temporary scheduling
order.
Therefore, in accordance with 5
U.S.C. 808(2), this order extending the
temporary scheduling order shall take
effect immediately upon its publication.
DEA will submit a copy of this order to
both Houses of Congress and to the
Comptroller General, although such
filing is not required under the CRA, 5
U.S.C. 801–808, because, as noted
above, this action is an order, not a rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On June 29, 2020 (85 FR 38831), EPA
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of
West Virginia. In the NPRM, EPA
proposed approval of West Virginia’s
plan for maintaining the 1997 ozone
NAAQS through June 14, 2027, in
accordance with CAA section 175A. The
formal SIP revision was submitted by
WVDEP on December 10, 2019.
II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA
Analysis
On May 15, 2007 (72 FR 27247,
effective June 14, 2007), EPA approved
a redesignation request (and
maintenance plan) from WVDEP for the
Wheeling Area. Per CAA section
175A(b), at the end of the eighth year
after the effective date of the
redesignation, the state must also
submit a second maintenance plan to
ensure ongoing maintenance of the
standard for an additional 10 years, and
in South Coast Air Quality Management
District v. EPA (South Coast II),1 the
D.C. Circuit held that this requirement
cannot be waived for areas, like the
Wheeling Area, that had been
redesignated to attainment for the 1997
ozone NAAQS prior to revocation and
that were designated attainment for the
2008 ozone NAAQS. CAA section 175A
sets forth the criteria for adequate
maintenance plans. In addition, EPA
has published longstanding guidance
