In the authorizing instrument, provide for termination without compensation in the event the land is ever needed for the withdrawal purpose and stipulate that no claims may be made against the United States in the event the use is terminated for the withdrawal purpose. Before authorizing any third party use of withdrawn areas, secure concurrence of the agency using the withdrawal (these agencies my include the Bureau of Reclamation; Bureau of Land Management; Fish and Wildlife Service; Federal Energy Regulatory Commission; Federal Aviation Administration; Coast Guard; Department of Defense (usually through Army Corps of Engineers); and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission).
