SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of the filing by the United States 
Forest Service of a withdrawal application with respect to the 
following described lands was published in the Federal Register on 
September 24, 2001:

Principal Meridian, Montana

    Sec. 6, E\1/2\, E\1/2\NW\1/4\, and NE\1/4\SW\1/4\, excluding 
Patent Nos. 433087, 535541, 562258, and 881285.
T. 3 N., R. 10 W.,
    Sec. 31, SE\1/4\NE\1/4\, SE\1/4\SW\1/4\, and SE\1/4\; Sec. 32, 
W\1/4\NE\1/4\, W\1/2\, and SE\1/4\, excluding Patent No. 532788.

    The areas described aggregate approximately 2,173 acres in 
Silver Bow, Jefferson, Powell, and Lewis and Clark Counties, 
Montana.
    Publication of the notice of the withdrawal application 
segregated the lands for a two-year period, which expired on 
September 24, 2003, pursuant to 43 CFR 2091.5-1(b)(1). Publication 
did not segregate the lands from surface entry and mineral leasing.
    The proposed withdrawal is no longer necessary, because the 
Forest Service has completed all reclamation activities in this 
area. The withdrawal application is, therefore, cancelled.

    Authority: 43 CFR 2310.2-1(c).

    Dated: March 16, 2005.
Howard A. Lemm,
Deputy State Director, Division of Resources.
