2. At 9 a.m. on January 12, 2006, the lands described Paragraph 1
will be opened to operation of the public land laws generally, subject
to valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law. All
valid applications received at or prior to 9 a.m. on January 12, 2006,
shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those
received thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
3. At 9 a.m. on January 12, 2006, the lands described Paragraph 1
will be opened to nonmetalliferous location and entry under the United

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. 38 (2000), 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 when 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.
Dated: October 28, 2005.

Assistant Secretary--Land and Minerals Management.
