At 8:30 a.m., on June 24, 1996, the lands will be opened to
operation of the public land laws generally, subject to valid existing
rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of
records, and the requirements of applicable law. All valid existing
applications received at or prior to 8:30 a.m., on June 24, 1996, will
be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received
thereafter will be considered in the order of filing.
At 8:30 a.m., on June 24, 1996, the lands will be opened to
location and entry under the United States mining laws. Appropriation
under the general mining laws prior to the date and time of restoration
is unauthorized. Any such attempted appropriation, including attempted
adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. Sec. 38, shall vest no rights
against the United States. Acts required to establish a location and to
initiate a right of possession are governed by State law where not in
conflict with Federal law. The Bureau of Land Management will not
intervene in disputes between rival locators over possessory rights
since Congress has provided for such determinations in local courts.
At 8:30 a.m., on June 24, 1996, the lands will be opened to
applications and offers under the mineral leasing laws and the
Geothermal Steam Act.
