Section 201 of the Controlled Substances Act ( 21 U.S.C. 811 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Attorney General may issue a temporary order adding a drug or substance to schedule A if the Attorney General finds that— the drug or other substance satisfies the criteria for being considered a schedule A substance; and adding such drug or substance to schedule A will assist in preventing abuse or misuse of the drug or other substance. A temporary scheduling order issued under paragraph
(1)shall not take effect until 30 days after the date of the publication by the Attorney General of a notice in the Federal Register of the intention to issue such order and the grounds upon which such order is to be issued. The temporary scheduling order shall expire not later than 5 years after the date it becomes effective, except that the Attorney General may, during the pendency of proceedings under paragraph (5), extend the temporary scheduling order for up to 180 days. A temporary scheduling order issued under paragraph
(1)shall be vacated upon the issuance of a permanent order issued under paragraph
(5)with regard to the same substance, or upon the subsequent issuance of any scheduling order under this section. A temporary scheduling order issued under paragraph
(1)shall not be subject to judicial review. The Attorney General may, by rule, issue a permanent order adding a drug or other substance to schedule A if such drug or substance satisfies the criteria for being considered a schedule A substance. Such rulemaking may be commenced simultaneously with the issuance of the temporary scheduling order issued under paragraph
(1)with regard to the same substance. Before initiating proceedings under paragraph
(1)or (5), the Attorney General shall transmit notice of an order proposed to be issued to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. In issuing an order under paragraph
(1)or (5), the Attorney General shall take into consideration any comments submitted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services in response to a notice transmitted pursuant to this paragraph. .
