rights and is, in most cases, for a limited period which is specified in 
regulations or in the document that segregates the lands. Where there is 
an administrative appeal or review action on an application pursuant to 
part 4 or other subparts of this title, the segregative period continues 
in effect until publication of an opening order.
    (b) Opening orders may be issued at any time but are required when 
the opening date is not specified in the document creating the 
segregation, or when an action is taken to terminate the segregative 
effect and open the lands prior to the specified opening date.
