Unfortunately the dose isn't why they're not listed, as other low dose pills are on the list. They're not listed because the progestin (the synthetic progesterone in the pill) is either untested or ineffective as emergency contraception. In the US, only Levonorgestrel and norgestrel containing pills are used as EC.
If you're in the US and over 18, you can purchase Plan B at a pharmacy or have someone over 18 purchase it for you, assuming you're still within the safe window to take EC.
