SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

withdrawal places these lands under the 

management of the Department of the 

Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

pursuant to the National Wildlife Refuge 

System Administration Act (NWRSAA) 

at 16 U.S.C. 668dd, as part of the Dash 

Lake WPA. These lands were previously 

withdrawn and reserved as part of the 

refuge for a 40-year term under PLO No. 

6225 (47 FR 11675), which expired on 

March 17, 2022. Under the NWRSAA at 

16 U.S.C. 668dd(a)(6), once land is 

included as part of the Refuge System 

via public land withdrawal, it remains 

part of the System until otherwise 

specified by an Act of Congress. This 

Order reflects the prior withdrawal and 

reservation and withdraws the land 

from the laws specified to protect the 

land from uses incompatible with 

Refuge purposes.

the Secretary of the Interior by Section 

204 of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C.

1. Subject to valid existing rights, the 

following described public land is 

hereby withdrawn from all forms of

laws, including location and entry 

under the United States mining laws, 

but not from leasing under the mineral 

and geothermal leasing laws, and 

reserved for administration by the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service for wildlife 

refuge purposes as part of the Dash Lake 

WPA.

Sec. 5, lot 3. 

The area described contains 13.50 acres. 

2. This withdrawal will expire 100 

years from the effective date of this 

order, unless as a result of a review 

conducted before the expiration date, 

pursuant to Section 204(f) of the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(f), the Secretary 

determines that the withdrawal shall be 

extended.
