# §3204.15. May I withdraw my application for a noncompetitive lease?


During the 30-day period after the competitive lease sale, BLM will only accept a withdrawal of the entire application. Following that 30-day period, you may withdraw your noncompetitive lease application in whole or in part at any time before BLM issues the lease. If a partial withdrawal causes your lease application to contain less than the minimum acreage required under [§ 3206.12](/cfr/43/3206.12.md), BLM will reject the application.
