But now if the Senator will look over on the previous page, subsection (3), An interested party may petition the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to extend the period for review of a rule on the schedule for up to 2 years, and to grant such equitable relief as is appropriate.

But that is a whole lot different from saying that this thing automatically sunsets.
