PART 2300_LAND WITHDRAWALS--Table of Contents

 

              Subpart 2310_Withdrawals, General: Procedure

 

Sec.  2310.1-4  Cancellation of withdrawal applications or withdrawal proposals and denial of applications.



    (a) Withdrawal or extension applications and proposals shall be 

amended promptly to cancel the application or proposal, in whole or in 

part, with respect to any lands which the applicant, in the case of 

applications, or the office, in the case of proposals, determines are no 

longer needed in connection with a requested or proposed action. The 

filing of a cancellation notice in each such case shall result in the 

termination of the segregation of the public lands that are to be 

eliminated from the withdrawal application or withdrawal proposal. (See 

Sec.  2310.2-1 of this title)

    (b) The Secretary may deny an application if the costs (as defined 

in section 304(b) of the Act (43 U.S.C. 1734(b)) estimated to be 

incurred by the Department of the Interior would, in the judgment of the 

Secretary, be excessive in relation to available funds appropriated for 

processing applications requesting a discretionary withdrawal, or a 

modification or extension of a withdrawal.
