regulations set forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
For a period of two years from the date of publication of this

above unless the application is denied or canceled or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date. The temporary uses which may be permitted
during this segregative period are leases, licenses, permits, rights-
of-way, and disposal of vegetative resources other than under the
mining laws.
